🌱 Introduction to Ujang Solehudin's Farming Journey
Ujang Solehudin, a 21-year-old from Mandalare, Panjalu, Ciamis, West Java, introduces himself and shares his experience as a horticultural farmer, specifically focusing on chili cultivation. After graduating from vocational school (SMK), Ujang worked for a company for two months before deciding to return to his village and pursue farming, inspired by the idea of working for himself rather than enriching others. He draws inspiration from his family's farming background and begins his journey in agriculture.
🚜 The Challenges and Rewards of Chili Farming
Ujang discusses the financial ups and downs of chili farming. He highlights how chili has a high market demand due to its importance in Indonesian cuisine, making it a profitable crop despite the challenges. He emphasizes the long time it takes to cultivate and harvest chili, which is why he plants other vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, as a secondary income source. These vegetables have shorter growing cycles and help balance his income while waiting for chili harvests. Ujang also points out the importance of innovation and technology in modern farming.

💡 Overcoming Early Farming Setbacks
Ujang recalls his initial struggles in farming. He started with 2,200 chili plants, funded by his savings from two months of work. However, his crop was attacked by fruit flies, leading to poor yields, and he couldn't even cover labor costs. Despite this setback, he persisted and experimented with different chili varieties. His perseverance paid off when, after the pandemic, he achieved good productivity and market prices, which encouraged him to expand his farming operations. Ujang credits his resilience for his current success and expansion of his farm.

Ujang concludes with advice for young farmers, emphasizing the importance of hard work, faith, and respecting one’s parents. He encourages young people to shift their mindset, seeing farming as a viable, modern profession with potential for growth.

juta rupiah di dalam bertani itu kalau
rugi buntung kalau untung tetap pulung
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi
wabarakatuh
perkenalkan nama saya Ujang Solehudin
Umur saya 21 tahun Alamat saya di desa
mandalare Kecamatan Panjalu Kabupaten
Ciamis provinsi Jawa Barat pekerjaan
saya sehari-hari saya menekuni di bidang
petani hortikultura khususnya petani
cabe
[Musik]
[Musik]
awal mula saya bertani Waktu itu saya
lulus sekolah SMK saya ditawari kerja
dari salah satu perusahaan perorangan di
salah satu kota terbesar di Jawa Barat
udah memasuki waktu satu bulan lebih
saya mulai berpikir saya yang kerja tiap
hari gitu kan atasan yang enaknya
Kemudian dari situlah saya mendengar
sebuah motivasi dari salah satu
narasumber Jangan berharap jadi pekerja
tapi berharap menjadi pemilik dari situ
saya berpikir Oh iya ya daripada
memperkaya orang lain Lebih baik
memperkaya diri sendiri waktu memasuki
dua bulan Saya bekerja Saya memutuskan
keluar kerja terus saya pulang kampung
sesudah di kampung saya bingung mau
kerja apa kebetulan kan saya waktu
sekolah SMK mengambil jurusan pertanian
ditambah lagi orang tua bekerja sebagai
petani Akhirnya saya memutuskan untuk
bertani
[Musik]
di dalam bertani itu kalau rugi buntung
kalau untung tetap pulung
[Musik]
awal bertani dari tahun
2019 sampai dengan Sekarang berarti
4 tahun Alhamdulillah sedikit demi
sedikit penambahan ilmu yang didapatkan
dalam bertani khususnya di Inovasi dan
teknologi di bidang pertanian
[Musik]
saya kan untuk di tanaman cabe ini
setahun saya nanam dua kali misalnya
saya menanam sayuran jenis lain Kenapa
saya nanam sayuran jenis lain karena kan
waktu dari penanaman sampai pemanenan
cabe kan lumayan menyita waktu yang
cukup lama jadi saya menyibukkan diri
menanam sayuran jenis lain supaya
kebutuhan sehari-hari bisa tercukupi
penghasilan sampingan dari sayuran jenis
lain penghasilan pokok dari cabe untuk
sayuran lain untuk mesin sekarang saya
menanam tomat dan timun untuk timunkan
jangka panennya relatif singkat ya satu
bulan lah untuk Tomat di 2 bulan
setengah ke atas jadikan perputaran segi
dengan lancar gitu Alhamdulillah
[Musik]
Kenapa pilih bertani cabe ya karena cabe
merupakan salah satu komoditas bahan
pangan yang sangat dibutuhkan masyarakat
saat ini
memegang peranan penting dalam lapisan
masyarakat Contohnya ya sebagai pemberi
rasa penyedap rasa dan lainnya ini
Alasan saya menanam cabe karena memiliki
harga yang lumayan tinggi di pasaran
dan potensi nilai ekonomis yang tinggi
di mata masyarakat
[Musik]
untuk harapan petani muda semangat
jangan pantang menyerah kalian merupakan
ujung tombak regenerasi petani di masa
yang akan datang untuk penyedia bahan
pangan dan jangan pernah menyerah Kalau
bukan kita siapa lagi
[Musik]
tanggapannya petani masih dipandang
sebelah mata
padahal sektor pertanian mempunyai
peranan penting di dalam penyedia bahan
pangan untuk ketahanan masyarakatnya
sendiri kan kalian menganggap petani
sebelah mata tapi kalian juga toh yang
menikmati hasilnya untuk generasi
pemuda-pemudi Ubahlah mindset dan pola
pikir kalian jangan beranggapan petani
itu kerjanya kuno
kotor-kotoran panas-panasan tapi Buatlah
pekerjaan petani itu menjadi modern
[Tepuk tangan]
praktis inovatif ditambahkan sekarang
teknologi di sektor pertanian
[Musik]
keuntungannya harga jual lebih mahal
dibandingkan sayuran jenis lainnya
apalagi kalau pasokan cabe di pasar
minim harga cabe bisa berlipat-lipat
Alhamdulillah untuk
panen kemarin harga cabe di angka
30.000 sampai Rp50.000
[Musik]
untuk musim sekarang populasi tanaman
cabe
20.000 batang tanaman untuk modal
pertanaman berkisar diantara 5000 sampai
7000 khususnya saya untuk musim sekarang
dikarenakan intensitas hujan cukup
tinggi tiap tanaman saya narget satu
tanaman menghasilkan
produktivitas cabe di angka 1 kilo
tinggal dikalikan untuk populasi tanaman
kan 20.000 tanaman jadi satu kilo dikali
20.000 berarti di angka tonase 20 ton
itu hitungan kalau
produktivitas di angka 1 kilo untuk
pasaran sih saya misal harga di pasaran
Rp20.000 produktivitas tanaman
menghasilkan 1 kilo per tanaman jumlah
tanaman kan 20.000 batang pohon
tinggalkan harga pasar misal sekarang
harga 20 berarti 20.000 dikali 20 ton
sama dengannya 400 Juta rupiah itu kotor
tinggal dipotong modal cabe populasi
tanaman
20.000 modal pertanaman 5000 ya kalikan
itu 5000 kali 20.000 berarti 100 juta
itu untuk Modal sekali tanam
cabe Jadi kalau pendapatan bersih jadi
400 juta dikurangi modal 100 juta
bersihnya 300 juta itu per 7 bulan Jadi
kalau mau dihitung-hitung pendapatan
perbulan tinggal bagi waktu nanam sampai
panen biasanya menghabiskan waktu 7
bulan tinggal dibagi
300 juta dibagi 7 bulan
berarti di angka
42 juta perbulan untuk luas lahan
keseluruhan capai 1 hektar setengah
untuk di musim sekarang
[Musik]
untuk
pengobatan
Tergantung situasi ya kalau untuk mesin
sekarang ya Dikarenakan curah hujan yang
intensitas sangat tinggi yang biasanya
bisa disemprot satu kali dalam seminggu
untuk sekarang paling di dua minggu satu
kali untuk pemasaran di buah cabe untuk
sampai B kita targetkan di supermarket
dan untuk grab B sampai ke bawah kita
pasarkan ke pasar induk sama pasar
tradisional
ada petani sampeyan mau makan apa
[Musik]
awal mula saya membuka lahan itu dengan
modal hasil kerja 2 bulan di perantauan
ya hasil dari 2 bulan kerja tuh cukup
untuk
2200 batang tanaman di pertengahan
budidaya
cabe saya tuh terkena serangan lalat
buah dikarenakan ya pemeliharaan Saya
tidak baik pas panen ternyata cukup
sampai dengan modal jadi untuk tenaga
kerja mah tidak terbayar tapi saya coba
untuk tidak frustrasi coba lagi coba
lagi Kemudian ya saya menanam lagi beda
jenis cabe ya yang pertama kan saya
menanamnya cabe varietas CMB ya cabe
merah besar Kemudian yang kedua saya
menanam cabe varietas keriting
Alhamdulillah di segi produktivitas
sebagai target tapi terkendala dimasalah
harga karena waktu itu tuh lagi musim
gencar-gencarnya virus Corona jadi
pembelian di pasar tuh sangat kurang
sudah beres Corona saya mulai bangkit ya
saya coba menanam
2200 lagi Alhamdulillah Tuh kan dari
segi produktivitas sama Harga sesuai ya
waktu itu harga 1 kilonya 30.000 dari
situ Alhamdulillah saya
memperluas lahan daripada
mempergaya-gaya hidup lebih baik saya
memperlebar usaha budidaya Alhamdulillah
