Risk Analysis of Tilapia Fish Farming Production in Tasikmalaya City

Abstrak

Tilapia fishfarming is a key driver of aquaculture production in Tasikmalaya City, contributing significantly to local and regional economies. However, this sector is not immune to production risks, such as poor seed quality, fluctuating feed prices, and environmental conditions. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing production risks in tilapia farming and their impact on productivity. The research was conducted from June to August 2024 in four districts—Bungursari, Cibeureum, Purbaratu, and Kawalu, using primary data collected through direct interviews with 52 respondents selected via purposive sampling. Quantitative analysis was performed using multiple regression to identify the factors affecting production risks. The results showed that seed quality, pellet feed, and labor significantly influence production risks, with seed and feed showing positive coefficients, indicating increased risks with higher usage. Conversely, effective labor utilization demonstrated a risk-reducing effect. Other factors, such as bran, EM4 probiotics, and cultivation time, had no significant impact. The findings underscore the importance of improving seed quality, optimizing feed management, and ensuring skilled labor availability to mitigate risks. These insights can guide policymakers and farmers in developing risk management strategies to sustain and enhance tilapia farming productivity in Tasikmalaya.
