Abstract

Mamar Village, South Amuntai District, North Hulu Sungai Regency is known as a center for duck egg hatching and breeding. The breeding and hatching business carried out is still highly traditional, so the amount of profit and the feasibility of the business are not properly calculated. This study aims to analyze the duck egg hatching business, assess its feasibility, and determine the break-even point for independent farmers in Mamar Village. The research used a case study method. Data collection techniques included participatory observation and in-depth interviews. The business analysis observation variables were calculated over a one-month period, including production costs, revenue, and profit. Feasibility analysis was measured using the B/C ratio and break-even point. The results of the duck egg hatching analysis showed production costs of IDR 9,012,123, sales revenue of IDR 10,844,900, and a profit of IDR 1,832,777. The business feasibility analysis based on the B/C ratio was 0.2, with a production break-even point of 1,502 ducklings and a price break-even point of IDR 5,800. Based on this analysis, Mr. Idun’s duck egg hatching business is profitable and feasible to continue.
