Vannamei shrimp farming on a mini-scale plastic pond ("busmetik") in Pasuruan Regency has been implemented since 2015. This study aims to analyze financial feasibility and potential for busmetik development in this region. The research was conducted in three sub-districts with a population of 120 farmers. Sample was determined by simple random sampling and 37 farmers were selected. Data collected through interviews, and analyzed by financial feasibility and SWOT. The results showed that busmetik vannamei shrimp farming in Pasuruan Regency was feasible to be developed based on investment criteria: R/C and B/C greater than one, short payback period, BEP price and production lower than real price and production, positive NPV, and IRR is higher than bank interest rate. Sensitivity analysis on the decline in production and prices by 20% resulted in the conclusion that this business is just feasible. Analysis of internal factors (IFE) and external factors (EFE) resulted in six strategies for developing vannamei shrimp farming business with busmetik technology. Those strategies were to classify product sizes based on quality; increase production volume with optimal land use; integrated production management; product differentiation; training program planning; and work with third parties for assistance. Government and investors can promote the business by supporting financing, providing integrated production management training in order to increase production and income of farmers.

Livestock businesses have various risks of death that can occur due to accidents, natural disasters, and disease outbreaks. To anticipate the risks that occur, the government seeks to help farmers through agricultural insurance, including the cattle and buffalo business insurance program (AUTSK= Asuransi Usaha ternak Sapi/Kerbau). This study aims to analyze the implementation of the AUTSK program and the factors that affect the income of dairy farmers. The research was conducted in Ngajum District, Malang Regency with the consideration that this area is a center for dairy cows. Data were collected from 40 dairy farmers obtained by simple random sampling. Furthermore, the data was edited and compiled, and then analyzed using the multiple linear analysis method (which was transformed from Cobb Douglas function). The results showed that implementation of the AUTSK program in Malang Regency tended to be less attractive to farmers because the fulfillment of claims was not timely (the period of disbursement of funds was too long). Farmer education, livestock ownership and the cost of concentrate feed have a significant effect on the income of dairy farmers. Government needs to re-evaluate implementation of livestock insurance so that farmers can continue their business. Limitation of this study is difficulty of separating cost of production facilities for each cow, so that the expenditure for lactating cows is also difficult to calculate correctly.
