“…The labor cost of maize farming at optimal maturity harvested was IDR 2,590,000 for planting area of 0.5 ha (2.4 times higher than production facilities cost). This is in line with the previous research of [16] which stated that labor cost has a significant effect on production costs. The production cost of maize farming at optimal maturity harvested time in Musi Village was IDR 3,690,000 per 0.5 ha (Table 1).…”

Maize is one of staple food sources. The low productivity of maize at farm level tends to change the maize harvest time from old harvest time for food need into the young one for commercial need and feed purposes which is considered more profitable by farmers. This study aimed to determine the income and feasibility of maize farming by applying different harvest times. The study was conducted in 2020 in the dry land of Musi Village, Buleleng Regency, Bali with participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approach involving 30 farmers. Data collected included input and output of maize farming. Data analysis used partial budget analysis to determine income and feasibility of maize farming. The results showed that maize farming at early harvested has 2.1 times higher income than that at optimal maturity harvested. With R/C ratio of 1.74, maize farming at early harvested was more profitable and feasible. If the farming pattern is applied continuously, it will reduce the supply of maize as staple food reserve. Therefore, policies from local government and arrangement from farmers in maize farming are needed so that the interests of fulfilling the needs of staple food as well as increasing farmers’ income can still be achieved.

“…Similarly, Rinaldi [5] and Siagian et. al [14] stated that labor cost has a significant effect on production costs. The production cost of maize green ear harvested at the dough stage in Mede Gudina, Birbirsa Siba, and Sademo Kebele was 38, 610.80 ETB per 0.6 ha of land area (Table 2).…”

Maize is the third most consumed cereal in the world and an important source of carbohydrates, making it an energy-producing food source. The main objective of this study was to demonstrate and promote the use of improved maize varieties for green ear production. Participatory action research was employed as the research design. Sites and farmers are selected purposefully based on maize production potential and farmers' willingness to allocate their land and labor to implement the activity. Two improved maize varieties, Jibat and Ambo, were demonstrated and promoted using their full recommendation package. Green maize production has increased significantly because of its profitability. To ensure food security and revenue for urban and semi-urban populations, maize green ear production work was demonstrated and promoted in kebeles such as Mede Gudina, Birbirsa Siba, and Sademo on a land area of 0.6 ha. As a result, the findings of this study revealed that maize green ear production provided significant income and a high return for farmers. The production cost of maize green ear harvested at the dough stage in Mede Kebele is 38,610.80 ETB, but the income is 345,389.20 ETB. This shows that the maize green ear production business is profitable and feasible. However, production can be constrained by several factors, such as the time of harvest, fertilizer, irrigation requirements, variety selection, and disease. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that future research and interventions should pay special attention to the factors mentioned earlier. Overall, expanding the green ear business to other study areas and similar agroecological regions can contribute to food security, income generation, and job opportunities, ultimately alleviating poverty.
