1.2 Research objectives
The purpose of this study was to analyze the advantages and
feasibility of hydroponic pakcoy vegetable farming in Arga Indah 1
Village, Pagar Jati District, Central Bengkulu Regency [3].
1.3 Research benefits
As information material for farmers and the community about
hydroponic pakcoy vegetable farming methods that can be developed
on narrow land or yards and information and reference material for
farmers in business development [3].
2 METHODOLOGY
The research was carried out in Arga Indah 1 Village, Pagar Jati
District, Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. Data
collection was carried out from July to August 2022 for the manager
of the hydroponic installation which happened to be the manager
myself. The method used is an analysis of the calculation of farm
production costs and pakcoy farm revenues with the R/C ratio
calculation method [1].
2.1 Fixed costs
Fixed costs are costs that do not run out in one production process.
Included in the fixed costs are the depreciation costs of farming
hydroponic installation equipment in the form of paralon pipes,
installation tables, netpots, seedling trays, and others.
2.2 Variable costs
Variable costs are costs that are used up in one production process.
Included in the variable costs are the costs of production facilities,
such as Packcoy seeds, rockwool, ABmix nutrition, and others.
2.3 Total cost
Total cost is the sum of fixed costs and variable costs. Total cost
formula is in Equation (1), where TC=Total Cost, FC= Fixed Cost, VC=
Variable Cost.
