Break Even Point, Price Sensitivity, Patchouli FarmingAbstract
This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of patchouli cultivation in Kombungo Village, Muna Regency, using Break Even Point (BEP) and price sensitivity analysis. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach with direct field observations, structured interviews, and document analysis to collect both primary and secondary data. Financial data were processed using the Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) approach to calculate BEP and simulate multiple pricing scenarios. The results show that the enterprise remains profitable across all tested price ranges, with production costs reaching IDR 331,267/kg and minimum BEP volumes far below actual production capacity (150 kg). Even with a 20% price drop, the BEP remains below 1 kg, indicating high resilience to market volatility. The Revenue/Cost ratio consistently exceeds 1, with a maximum of 6.34 at peak prices. This study contributes practically by offering a simple and adaptable model for micro-scale farmers to forecast market risks and determine pricing strategies. Theoretically, it bridges the research gap by integrating BEP and price sensitivity using empirical data from individual farmers in Eastern Indonesia, a context largely underexplored in previous studies.
