Primary data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 43 farmers applying organic fertilizers and 23 farmers applying inorganic fertilizers. Secondary data were obtained from various literatures. The results show that the average organic rice production is 6.82 tons/ha and the average profit earned is Rp. 14,169,203 per hectare in one growing season. The average inorganic rice production is 6.20 tons/ha with an average profit of Rp 7,148,203 per hectare in one growing season.
