Abstract

This study aims to analyze the income and feasibility of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot cultivation business as animal feed at PT Khan Integrated Farm (Case Study: Dalu 10 B Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency). This study is motivated by the great potential of maggot cultivation, as all stages of the maggot life cycle have economic value, from eggs, larvae (maggots), prepupae, and the residue from the bioconversion process, known as kasgot, which can be used as organic fertilizer. The method used is descriptive analysis and income and feasibility analysis. The results show that BSF maggot cultivation starts with buying eggs from other entrepreneurs, then hatching them, feeding them until they become adult maggots for 18-21 days, after which the maggots transform into prepupae and then pupae, and eventually become BSF flies. The income earned by the BSF maggot cultivation business at PT Khan Integrated Farm when focusing on egg production is IDR 16,188,000 per month, with a total revenue of IDR 23,784,000 and a total cost of IDR 7,596,000. When focusing on maggot production, the income is IDR 20,941,580 per month, with a total revenue of IDR 34,734,000 and a total cost of IDR 13,792,420. The Revenue-Cost (R/C) ratio of the BSF maggot cultivation business at PT Khan Integrated Farm is 3 when focusing on egg production and 2.5 when focusing on maggot production, indicating that the business is profitable.
