ANALISIS KELAYAKAN USAHA AGROSILVOPASTURA DI DESA CISANTANA: STUDI INTEGRASI KEHUTANAN, PERTANIAN, DAN PETERNAKAN SAPI PERAH

Abstract

Abstract

Agrosilvopasture is an integrated land management system that combines forestry, agricultural, and livestock activities to optimize land productivity and improve community welfare sustainably. Cisantana Village, located in Cigugur District, Kuningan Regency, possesses considerable natural resource potential for developing agrosilvopasture systems, yet most local farmers still rely on a single component dairy cattle farming while the forestry and agricultural components remain underutilized. Previous studies on agroforestry and agrosilvopasture have generally focused on household income contribution, financial feasibility of a single commodity combination, or the technical management of community forests, and have rarely integrated an assessment of local resource potential with a comprehensive financial feasibility analysis of an integrated forestry–agriculture–livestock system. This study aimed to identify the potential of the agrosilvopasture system and to analyze the financial feasibility of agrosilvopasture businesses in Cisantana Village. A quantitative descriptive method with a case study approach was employed, involving 18 respondents who had implemented the agrosilvopasture system, selected through total sampling (census). Data were collected through field observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation from March to April 2026, and analyzed using Net Present Value (NPV), Net Benefit Cost Ratio (Net B/C), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Return Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio), Break Even Point (BEP), Payback Period (PP), and sensitivity analysis. The results showed that the agrosilvopasture system integrated forestry species (teak, mahogany, pine, tisuk, and red shoots) with agricultural crops (chili, potato, scallion, ginger, and sweet corn) alongside dairy cattle farming, and was supported by suitable land resources, abundant feed availability, productive dairy activities, favorable ecological conditions, and active community participation. Over a five-year period the business generated a total revenue of IDR 26,587,956,167 and a total profit of IDR 5,444,597,868, with an NPV of IDR 1,385,136,242, a Net B/C of 1.51, an IRR of 35.96%, an R/C Ratio of 1.26, a BEP of IDR 8,833,954,248, and a Payback Period of 2.48 years. Sensitivity analysis confirmed that the business remained financially feasible under a 10% decrease in selling prices and a 10% increase in production costs, although it was more sensitive to price reduction. These findings indicate that the agrosilvopasture business is financially feasible, profitable, and capable of supporting sustainable rural economic development. Optimization of integrated land management together with institutional support through technical assistance and farmer capacity-building programs is recommended to strengthen the sustainability and productivity of agrosilvopasture businesses in rural communities.
