Abstract :
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) Mendeskripsikan usahatani kelapa sawit pola
swadaya (2) Menganalisis pendapatan usahatani kelapa sawit pola swadaya (3)
Menganalisis kelayakan usahatani kelapa sawit pola swadaya. Pemilihan lokasi
penelitian dilakukan secara purposive dengan pertimbanhan bahwa Kecamatan
mestong merupakan salah satu Kecamatan dengan produksi kelapa sawit rendah
serta terdapat PKS di Kecamatan Mestong. Jumlah petani sampel dalam penelitian
ini 79 petani. Metode analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif,
analisis pendapatan usahatani dan analisis Return Cost Ratio (R/C). Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) Usahatani kelapa sawit pola swadaya memiliki
luas lahan kelapa sawit dengan rata-rata 1,82 Ha. Umur tanaman kelapa sawit
petani yaitu 9 tahun. Jarak tanam kelapa sawit 9m x 9m. Produksi TBS petani
sebesar 26.240 Kg/Petani atau 14.395 Kg/Hektar. (2) Pendapatan usahatani kelapa
sawit pada umur tanaman 6-12 Tahun dengan rata-rata umur 9 tahun adalah
sebesar Rp. Rp.23.783.943/Hektar/Tahun. (3) Nilai kelayaan R/C Ratio yang
diperoleh lebih besar dari 1 yaitu 2,93 yang menunjukkan bahwa usahatani kelapa
sawit di Kecamatan Mestong layak diusahakan.

This research aims to: (1) Describe the self-help pattern of oil palm farming (2) Analyze the income of the self-supporting pattern of oil palm farming (3) Analyze the feasibility of self-supporting pattern of oil palm farming. The selection of research locations was carried out purposively with the consideration that Mestong District is one of the Districts with low palm oil production and there are PKS in Mestong District. The number of sample farmers in this study was 79 farmers. The data analysis method uses quantitative descriptive analysis, farming income analysis and Return Cost Ratio (R/C) analysis. The research results show that (1) Self-supporting oil palm farming has an average area of ??oil palm land of 1.82 Ha. The age of farmers' oil palm plants is 9 years. Palm oil planting distance 9m x 9m. Farmers' FFB production is 26,240 Kg/Farmer or 14,395 Kg/Hectare. (2) Oil palm farming income at a plant age of 6-12 years with an average age of 9 years is IDR. Rp.23,783,943/Hectare/Year. (3) The R/C Ratio feasibility value obtained is greater than 1, namely 2.93, which indicates that oil palm farming in Mestong District is feasible.
