Abstract
This research aims to conduct a economic feasibility study on cassava plantation and tapioca flour industry in Bengkalis Regency. The study was conducted to evaluate the economic, technical, environmental, and social potential of developing these agricultural sectors in the region. In this study, we applied a comprehensive methodology, including field surveys, secondary data analysis, interviews with farmers, and literature review. Key aspects assessed include production cost estimation, revenue projection, market analysis, risk analysis, and environmental impact of cassava plantation and tapioca flour production. The study results show that the potential of cassava plantations in Bengkalis Regency is promising, with a positive NPV value, a payback period of 1 year and 6 months, a profit index of 6.72, an IRR of 37.76%, and a GIM value of 2.09. Economic projections indicate favorable investment opportunities in the tapioca starch industry, with consistent market demand and export potential.
