Abstract

Salak is one of the types of fruit that is favored for its sweet taste, even when it is not yet fully ripe. Salak contains vitamin C, which is beneficial for the body. The salak tree is capable of producing continuously throughout the year. Sabang City is known as a salak producer in Aceh Province due to its good agricultural potential, not only in terms of land but also because of its fertile soil, which is suitable for growing various specific commodities. This study aims to evaluate the land suitability for salak cultivation in Sabang City. The evaluation method includes both qualitative and quantitative assessments, considering the physical and chemical qualities of the soil as well as the plant's growth requirements. A total of 6 soil samples were taken to analyze the physical and chemical properties of the soil. In this study, climate data in the form of temperature and rainfall were also collected. Qualitative analysis was obtained by matching the land characteristics data with the criteria for salak plants. The results of the study show an average temperature of 27.8 °C, rainfall of 2172.3 mm/year, good soil drainage, moderate soil depth (>50 cm), loamy silt soil texture, soil pH ranging from acidic to slightly alkaline, organic C content ranging from low to high, base saturation (BS) ranging from moderate to high, total N content from low to moderate, P₂O₅ from moderate to high, K₂O from low to high, and a very low erosion hazard. The land suitability class for salak plants in Sabang City falls into the marginally suitable category (S3). The limiting factors include rainfall, effective depth, organic C, surface rocks, and rock outcrops. The application of soil and water conservation techniques can address the limiting factors of rainfall, effective depth, and erosion hazard. Meanwhile, the management of organic fertilizers and additives such as biochar can improve the limiting factor of organic C. Land management techniques, including proper crop selection and the construction of terraces, can also address the limiting factors of surface rocks and rock outcrops. Financial feasibility analysis was carried out by calculating Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit-Cost Ratio (B/C), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Break-Even Point (BEP). The quantitative analysis results show that salak farming in Sabang City has an NPV of Rp. 248,352,081,- a B/C of 2.49, an IRR of 14.0084%, and a BEP at 6 years, 1 month, and 1 day. This indicates that salak farming in Sabang City can be considered feasible and profitable. The results of this study are expected to provide appropriate technical guidelines for land management, increase productivity, and improve the welfare of the local community, most of whom are farmers. This evaluation will also assist in decision-making regarding the sustainable and profitable use of land, both physically and financially. Keywords: Land Suitability, Salak Productivity, Soil Evaluation, Climate Data, Financial Feasibility
