Abstract

Introduction: As a tropical country, Indonesia has significant potential for soybean cultivation; however, national production for the 2017–2021 period still falls short of demand, and dependence on imports remains high, particularly in Grobogan District, which is the main production center in Central Java. Based on these conditions, this study aims to analyze the differences in profits, feasibility, and profitability of soybean farming for seeds and consumption in Grobogan District. Methods:  This study employs both descriptive and analytical method, collecting primary and secondary data through surveys, observations, interviews, questionnaires, and records on 60 respondents selected by quota and purposive means in Grobogan District. The analysis was conducted by calculating implicit and explicit costs, revenue, profits, feasibility (R/C ratio), profitability, and comparative tests using an independent sample t-test. Results: The total cost of soybean farming for seeds in Grobogan District is Rp4.712.905/ha, with revenue of Rp6.962.166/ha resulting in a profit of Rp2.249.261/ha. The total cost of soybean farming for consumption in Grobogan District is Rp3.709.952/ha, with revenue of Rp5.027.700/ha resulting in a farming profit of Rp1.317.748/ha. The feasibility and profitability values of soybean farming for seeds are 1,62 and 0,62. The feasibility and profitability values of soybean farming for consumption are 1,47 and 0,47. The results of the independent sample t-test show a significant (2-tailed) value > 0.05, indicating that H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected, indicating that there is no statistically significant difference in profit, feasibility, and profitability between soybean farming for seeds and consumption. Conclusion: Soybean farming for seed and consumption is equally profitable and feasible, with higher values of income, profit, feasibility, and profitability in soybeans compared to seed production alone. However, the results of the independent sample t-test show a significance value greater than 0,05 for all three variables, indicating that statistically there is no significant difference between soybean farming for seeds and consumption in Grobogan District. The non-significant test results were due to the profits from soybean seed farming, which, although higher, were offset by higher total costs. The implementation of relatively uniform production mechanisms among farmers resulted in low data variation, as well as production risks due to the short seed storage life and decreased germination capacity.
