Abstract

The ornamental plant business is a very profitable and promising venture, made even more so by the fact that there is an ornamental plant trend at the start of 2019. Certain types of ornamental plants can be quite expensive, and some customers are willing to pay a premium for them to add to their ornamental plant collection. As a result, the number of florists has increased, particularly in Baturaja City. During the Covid-19 pandemic, numerous businesses, including ornamental plant businesses, suffered financial losses. Some businesses have been unable to survive due to losses as a result of people's limited purchasing power for ornamental plants. The goal of this research is to determine the viability of the ornamental plant business in Baturaja, especially in the event of a pandemic. In this study, the census method was used, and the saturated sampling method was used for sampling. The analysis was carried out using a feasibility analysis with R/C ratio analysis. In Baturaja, data was gathered from 15 ornamental plant business actors. With an R/C of 1.65, the study's findings indicated that the ornamental plant business in the city of Baturaja would be viable in the event of a pandemic.
