Abstract
This study aims to analyze the difference in business costs of broiler chicken traders in various markets in Kuala Simpang City, Aceh Tamiang Regency, as well as to find out the level of income obtained by traders. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive methods to understand the factors that affect the cost structure and income of traders. The results of the study show that the business cost structure of broiler chicken traders consists of fixed costs and variable costs. Variable costs are the largest component of total expenses, with the cost of purchasing chickens, transportation, and labor as the main factors affecting operating costs. The total business costs of broiler chicken traders per month reached Rp. 155,343,000, of which variable costs reached Rp. 155,028,000 and fixed costs amounted to Rp. 315,000. Meanwhile, the total average revenue of traders is Rp. 161,620,435 per month, so that the net income obtained is Rp. 6,277,435 per month. The conclusion of this study is that the broiler chicken trader's business in Kuala Simpang City is still profitable, despite the challenges in managing variable costs. To increase profitability, traders are advised to adopt cost efficiency strategies and product diversification. The government is also expected to provide support in the form of price regulations and improvement of market facilities to support the sustainability of broiler chicken traders' businesses.
