| Summary: | Production of cajuput oil from the Moluccas and Java Island is currently far below the domestic demand for the oil. Extensification of small-scale cajuput plantations managed by community using improved seeds is expected to increase cajuput oil production in Indonesia. This study investigates the financial feasibility of a 5 ha-cajuput plantation using data collected from a pilot project for a farmer group in Rimbajaya Village, East Biak District. Financial feasibility was assessed by calculating four investment criteria: net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), benefit-cost ratio (BCR) and payback period. The analysis showed that a small-scale cajuput plantation was financially feasible with NPV (25 years) at a 9.2% discount rate was IDR 757,171,972.00 (IDR 151,434,394.32 per hectare), IRR of 72.74%, BCR of 1.77 and payback period after 2 years and 3 months. Investation in a cajuput plantation planted with improved seeds is more feasible than that in bamboo, sengon, palm oil and coffee plantations. |
