This study used a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. The study was done in Cirebon Regency, and the wet field sugar cane farmer samples were taken from the villages in Sindanglaut and Ter-sana Baru Sugar Mill’s area. The data used is from the planting period with a harvest and milling schedule from May to November 2015. The results showed that farmers suffered losses in the 2014/2015 growing season; however, 82% of farmers said they would continue to plant sugar cane, 6% will reduce the area planted, and 12% will not grow sugar cane again. Farmers are ready to supply raw material to the sugar mill. Based on the simulation results from the existing data, in which the yield is increased by 1%, productivity is raised by 10 tons of sugar cane/ha/season, and the price of plantation white sugar is raised by IDR 1,000/kg, all of these will lead to an increase in revenue to IDR 12,870,498/ha/season.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Farmer’s income,Plantation white sugar price,Productivity,Sensitivity,Sugar industry[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1201/9781315269184-26[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
