This study aims to analyze in depth the structure of production cost components and determine a reasonable and competitive selling price for shrimp farming in the Venambak Shrimp Farm. The background of this study is the need to determine the cost efficiency and profit potential of shrimp farming activities, so that business actors can make the right decisions and be oriented towards sustainability. The study uses a quantitative descriptive approach with the full costing method to calculate the total production costs, and the cost plus pricing method to determine the selling price. The data used consists of primary data, such as details of operational expenses during one cultivation cycle (six months), as well as secondary data obtained from internal company reports and records. The results of the analysis show that the total production costs incurred in one shrimp cultivation cycle reached Rp16,085,208,000, with a total harvest of 1,000,000 kg. Based on these figures, the cost of goods manufactured (COGS) was obtained at Rp16,085 per kg. In determining the selling price, the company used the cost plus pricing method and set the selling price at Rp80,000 per kg. Thus, the profit margin obtained by the company reached Rp63,915 per kg. Gross profit generated during one cultivation cycle reached Rp63,915,000,000. If cultivation were conducted in two cycles per year, the annual gross profit could potentially increase to Rp127,830,000,000. These findings indicate that with efficient cost management and the right pricing strategy, shrimp farming has significant profit potential. Therefore, intensive and sustainable shrimp farming development at the Venambak Shrimp Farm is highly feasible to improve the competitiveness and welfare of fisheries business actors.

This research aims to analyze the role of human resource (HR) competency in increasing the productivity of cattle farming in Penungkiran Village, Pancur Batu District. This study was conducted on a farm owned by Mr. Syahdan Azis Maulana, a 25 yearold young farmer who manages 17 cows with the main aim of meeting economic needs. Through a qualitative approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation. The research results show that HR competencies, including technical knowledge, managerial skills, and interpersonal abilities, have a significant impact on livestock productivity. Cattle sales can reach between 15 and 50 million per head, reflecting the potential for high profits if managed well. This research concludes that increasing human resource competency is a key factor in achieving optimal productivity in cattle farming.

This study aims to analyze the optimization of seaweed seedling inventory management using the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) method to enhance cost efficiency for farmers in Tarakan City. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach, integrating EOQ with forecasting techniques (Moving Average and Exponential Smoothing) to predict raw material needs accurately. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel and POM-QM for Windows to ensure precision. The results indicate that EOQ yields an optimal order quantity of 878 ropes per order, with a frequency of 6 orders per year, a reorder point of 16 ropes, and a total inventory cost (TIC) of IDR 842,681. Compared to traditional methods (TIC IDR 2,132,083), EOQ reduces costs by 60.5%. Forecasting analysis reveals that Exponential Smoothing (MAPE 19.67%) outperforms Moving Average (MAPE 22.5%) in accuracy. These findings highlight EOQ’s effectiveness in minimizing waste, preventing stockouts, and improving productivity. The study provides practical insights for coastal small-scale farmers and policymakers in the marine sector.

In Indonesia, the use of inorganic fertilizers is one area that is produced continuously to be used to increase crop yields, especially vegetables. Organic fertilizer and compost also have long-term benefits because they can increase the fertility of plants such as coffee. Indonesia is a coffee producer with unique characteristics. There is one type of coffee that is not widely known by the Indonesian people, namely Excelsa coffee. Excelsa coffee has very distinctive characteristics and aroma. Most of Wonomerto's residents have agricultural land and livestock that can produce coffee and livestock. However, villages that have cattle farms are still unable to utilize animal waste properly, and also residents who have coffee production only process it into ground coffee. Therefore, educational events and new programs for the Bokashi compost coffee market are being held. Apart from that, agricultural products and animal products that cannot yet be processed can be used as organic fertilizer using EM4 technology. The benefits of bokashi fertilizer are that it can increase the nutrient content of plants, reduce organic waste, and encourage the growth of plant microorganisms.

The results of this research provide valuable insight for salt farmers, especially in Karang Anyar Village, to increase productivity, innovation and job satisfaction for salt farmers.    

Tiger shrimp farming is an aquaculture business associated with the rearing of shrimp from egg hatching until they are ready to be harvested for consumption. The amount of tiger shrimp production is highly dependent on the tiger shrimp hatchery process. This study was conducted with the aim to 1) Calculate the income of tiger shrimp hatchery business, 2) Analyze the feasibility of tiger shrimp hatchery business based on the criteria of Revenue Cost Ratio (RCR), Break Even Point (BEP), Payback Period, Return On Investman (ROI), and 3) Describe marketing channels, marketing margins, and farmer share in shrimp hatchery business. The sample method used was purposive sampling and snowball sampling. The results showed that tiger shrimp hatcheries in HSRT Windu Tirta Samudra earned an income of Rp.43,313,992/month. Based on the criteria of RCR, BEP, ROI and Payback Period (PP) tiger shrimp hatchery business is feasible to continue and run. Marketing of tiger shrimp seed forms level 0 and level 1 marketing channels, with a margin of Rp.2/head on level 1 marketing channels, and the farmer's share obtained is efficient because it is above 60%.

Pesticides are toxic substances that have a negative impact on human health problems. Anemia is one of the chronic effects of pesticide. The effect of pesticides to the farmer’s health, decreasing production or increasing destruction of red blood cells. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship of pesticide exposure with anemia in the blood of pesticide spraying workers at PT. X. The research method used is Cross Sectional at PT. X with a total sample of 61 workers was obtained by Simple Random Sampling. Information was obtained through interviews with questionnaire and examination of hemoglobin levels using a portable hemoglobin meter. Based on the results of the analysis using chi square data, it was found that pesticide exposure were associated with anemia (p = 0.011). It is expected that sprayers pay more attention to the impact of using pesticides with health.
