validity of the data, researchers conducted a credibilty test, transferability test,
auditability test and confirmability test. The results of this study concluded that
cassava farmers have benefited in farming cassava, but the profit is very small and
requires a long time of about eight months, so if revenue from the profits of
agriculture cassava is calculated per day then income of cassava farming is not
meaningful or not enough to support the farmer family. Besides, waiting period of
harvest of cassava for 8 months, then it's basically a lot of cassava farmers
unemployed. The cassava farmer who run business in producing tape have
created high added value so as to produce a huge advantage compared to the
profits of farmers of cassava and also compared to the same business which
cassava purchased from other parties / other farmers. The cassava farmer who run
business in producing cassava chips have created a high added value so as to
produce a huge advantage compared to the profits of farmers of cassava and also
compared to the same business which cassava purchased from other parties / other
farmers. | en_US |
