The research method used is quantitative by calculating the income of sugar cane farmers and the income of rice and corn farming.

The results of the research show that the Opportunity Cost value for sugar cane farmers in East Java is IDR 31,618,062 if the farmers plant rice and corn. Sugarcane farming is less profitable because it earns lower income, namely IDR 25,993,750,00.
