Abstract

Coffee is one of Indonesia’s leading export commodities with high economic value in the global market. Coffee production continues to increase annually, including in Jember Regency, where coffee is predominantly cultivated under smallholder farming systems that rely on inherited land management practices. Coffee cultivation has become a long-standing cultural tradition among plantation farmers in several areas of Jember Regency. This study employed a quantitative descriptive method using income analysis, Revenue–Cost (R/C) ratio, and Benefit–Cost (B/C) ratio as indicators of farming feasibility. Assessing farm feasibility is essential to identify the prospects for sustainable coffee cultivation in the future. The research sample was selected using purposive sampling. The results show that the average total revenue of coffee farming reached IDR 67,860,023 per hectare per year, with production costs amounting to IDR 8,528,131 per hectare per year. Consequently, the net income of coffee farmers was IDR 59,331,892 per hectare per year, with an R/C ratio of 7.9 and a B/C ratio of 6.9. These findings indicate that Argopuro coffee farming in Jember Regency is economically feasible and provides significant profits, thereby supporting its sustainability as a smallholder agricultural enterprise.
