Abstract

Purpose : In the phenomena and constraints faced by red chili farmers that result in unsustainable production, an interesting research question raised is how to detect production risks in curly red chili, the impact of risks caused by the source of risk and mitigation of priorities that must be done in managing risks which occurred in one of the red chili production centers in Majalengka Regency, West Java Province.

Research Method : Research to mitigate production risk is carried out using the House of Risk method at the red chili production center with 30 respondents. Respondents were determined purposively. Observed responses include risk events, risk agents to identify problems. The risk status grouping is determined based on the aggregate risk potential (ARP) value.

Findings : The results showed that curly red chili farming had 17 risk events with 7 risk agents. The risk agent for climate change and erratic weather produces the highest ARP value of around 3469 or around 30.33% so that this agent is considered to be the main priority in risk mitigation. Priority mitigation strategies can be carried out through the creation of green houses, training and application of standard operating procedures.

Limitations : Detecting event and sources on the risk red chili production.

Value : With detection of events and sources of risk it can produce priority potency for handling of risk or mitigation of risk.
