Abstract


California lemon farming in Banyumas Regency has been going on since 2013. The lemon planting area in Banyumas Regency is currently 12 ha with a total of 6,550 plants. California lemon farming in Banyumas Regency is an individual-owned business. However, California lemon farmers in Banyumas Regency have collaborated with PT. Cilengko Lentera Al Barokah for the procurement of plant seeds and the sale of crops. However, there are still problems experienced by lemon farmers with partners, including the weak bargaining power of farmers with partners and the lack of transparency in the grading process carried out. These conditions affect the income and sustainability of farmers' lemon agribusiness. Therefore, this study aims to determine the feasibility of the California lemon business in Banyumas Regency. The analysis methods used are NPV analysis, Net B/C ratio, IRR, and payback period (PP). The respondents of this study are lemon farmers in the Banyumas area and have partnered with PT. Cilengko Lantern Al Barokah. Through this research, it can be known the feasibility of lemon agribusiness and can be used as a consideration for farmers or other stakeholders to enter the lemon agribusiness. The results of the analysis show that lemon agribusiness in Banyumas Regency is worthy of effort and provides benefits for farmers.
