Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, cultivation with a hydroponic system began to be popular with the wider community. Vegetable and fruit commodities are widely cultivated with a hydroponic system because it is easy، practical, and fast. The research location of the this study is the Pusat Pelatihan Pertanian dan Pedesaan Swadaya (P4S) Hikmah Farm. The research was conducted in June-July 2021. We have used different data analysis methods in this research, namely cost analysis, revenue analysis, profit analysis, and R/C ratio analysis. The results showed that the production of melons was 211 items; cherry tomatoes as much as 238 kg; and 180 kg of strawberries with 132 planting holes. From these production results, the R/C ratio of melon farming was 2.8; cherry tomatoes 2.0; and strawberries 1,2. This shows that the farming is feasible to run because it has a value >1. The prospects for the development of the three fruit farms are quite good because they have several advantages, namely uniform size, fresh fruit, and good taste so that consumers are interested.
