Tabasco pepper is the third-largest horticultural commodity after shallots and cabbage cultivated by Indonesian farmers. This study aims to determine the efficiency of farming tabasco pepper, through the analysis of agricultural input-output data from 27 provinces of Indonesia using the revenue cost ratio method. The results showed that Java Island is the center of tabasco pepper production in Indonesia. The cultivation of tabasco pepper was efficient in the country, as illustrated in the value of RC Ratio> 1, which was between 1.12 (South Sumatra and Yogyakarta)-3.69 (NTT) with an average value of 1.77. The average benefit level reached by farmers was IDR 32,483,363/ha/season. Furthermore, the maximum benefit was IDR 88,847,100 ha/season while the minimum was IDR 7,805,500/ha/season. The average productivity of tabasco pepper was 3,084 kg/ha, with the highest yield in West Java being 6,423 kg/ha. However, the lowest was Gorontalo at 1,210 kg/ha. The average selling price at the farm level was IDR 27,005/kg, while the highest in West Papua was IDR 46,266/kg, and the lowest in South Sulawesi was IDR 14,824/kg. Therefore, tabasco pepper farmers have an opportunity to increase profits by IDR 56,363,737/ha/season and productivity by 3,339 kg/ha.
