Swamp land with its unique characteristics is one of the sub-optimal lands with a low level of fertility. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the feasibility of lowland rice farming in the swamps of Pangandaran Regency.

Respondents in this study were all members of the Guna Bakti Mulya Farmers' Group of 20 respondents who were taken by census. The research objectives were analyzed in a quantitative descriptive manner using cost, revenue, revenue and R/C analysis. The results showed that the average total cost incurred by farmers per hectare was IDR 8,439,509.-, the average income per hectare was IDR 10,279,425.-, and the average income per hectare was IDR 1,839,916.-. Thus, rice cultivation in swampland is feasible with an R/C value of 1.22, meaning that every IDR 1.- of costs incurred will receive revenue of IDR 1.22 thus obtaining an income of IDR 0.22, -.
