Red chilli is a horticultural crop that is commonly utilized by Indonesian people. In 2019 – 2020, red chilli was the most-produced vegetable in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The high production is caused by the variety of agroecosystems in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, such as beach sand land, which is optimal for red chilli cultivation. This study compares the costs, revenues, income, profits, feasibility, and risks of red chilli farming on beach sand land and rice fields with shower and non-shower irrigation systems in Kretek District. Sampling was conducted by simple random sampling and a population of 116 farmers. Data analysis used the analysis of costs, receipts, income, profits, feasibility analysis based on R/C, labour productivity and capital productivity, and risk analysis based on the coefficient of variation. The results showed that the non-shower irrigated beach sand land farmers had the greatest cost and highest income, while the showered-irrigated beach sand land farmers had the most profits. Red chilli farming on paddy fields and sand with shower and non-shower irrigation systems in the Kretek subdistrict is deemed feasible based on R/C analysis, labour productivity, and capital productivity. The highest production risk value is the shower-irrigated paddy fields, and the highest cost risk value is the non-shower irrigated beach sand land.
