This comprehensive approach allows researchers to identify and understand the risks that exist in vannamei shrimp cultivation more effectively.

Results and Analysis: Uncovering the Risks

The results of the study revealed that the highest risk was the risk of production, with a variation coefficient value (KV) of 0.103. This indicates that there is a significant uncertainty in the aspect of production, which needs to be considered by farmers. The revenue risk was recorded at 0.078, and the price risk was 0.06. Although there is a risk, the results of the analysis show that vannamei shrimp cultivation in this area remains efficient and profitable.

In terms of income, the average revenue of vannamei shrimp cultivation per hectare in one period reached Rp 485,898,959, while production costs were at Rp 287,280,048.
