government's role in the resilience of upland rice farming considering that upland rice productivity in Cingkes Village
is still low (Salleh et al., 2015).
• Strategy S - T (Strength -Threaths)
S-T strategies are strategies that use their strengths to deal with the threats that exist in upland rice farming.
Then the strategies that can be used; (i) Improving post-planting land management methods by using technological
innovations. This means that new technology can be used in the field of land management by utilizing assistance
obtained from the government such as tractors. (ii) Strive for upland rice production to increase with the skills of
farmers regarding upland rice because it is the skills of farmers who are able to maintain something good or bring
changes to upland rice production and can also be done by planting using superior seeds, fulfilling nutrients in sufficient
soil , clean other plants that grow around upland rice, and eradicate pests (Guido et al., 2020).
• Strategy W - T (Weakness -Threaths)
W - T strategies are strategies that take into account the weaknesses and threats found in upland rice farming.
Then the strategies that can be used; (i) Increasing the role of farmer groups, with the role of farmer groups, it can help
farmers in upland rice farming so that farmer groups direct farmers to use superior seeds, use fertilizers and so on. (ii)
Farmers maintain land for upland rice farming. If farmers are tempted by other crop commodities to obtain maximum
profits, it will cause the loss of upland rice farming. Therefore, farmers can maintain a partnership system among
upland rice farmers. Because with this partnership system, upland rice farming can survive and develop better than
when independent rice farmers (Malini et al., 2019).
4. Conclusion
The results of the Feasibility Analysis and Swot Analysis of Upland Rice Farming (Oryza nivara l) in Cingkes
Village, Dolok Silau District, Simalungun Regency, the production cost of upland rice farming in the research area is
Rp. 6,786,522/Ha/Year. upland rice production costs per hectare are dominated by fertilizer costs. The net income of
upland rice farming in the research area is Rp. 9,008,478/Ha/Year. Net income from revenue is Rp.
15,795,000/Ha/Year minus the average total cost of Rp. 6,786,522/Ha/Year. Feasibility of upland rice farming in the
value of R/C ratio of 2.3 then R/C ratio > 1 indicates that upland rice farming is feasible to cultivate. This means that
if the farmer spends 1, the farmer gets an income of Rp. 2.3, then the farmer's net income is 1.3. The strategy for
developing upland rice farming in Cingkes Village, Dolok Silau District, Simalungun Regency can be done by
increasing the role of farmer groups, increasing upland rice productivity, honing upland rice farmers' skills, improving
post-planting land management using technological innovation, using superior seeds, maintaining land for upland rice
farming.
