Abstract: Pringgabaya District is one of the cayenne pepper producing districts in East Lombok Regency. In general, farmers grow cayenne pepper using surface irrigation, but here some of the farmers who farm cayenne pepper using paid water pump irrigation. The existence of irrigation costs causes additional input costs compared to farming that uses surface irrigation. This research aims to: (1) Analyze the costs and income of Cayenne Pepper Farming on Pumped Water Irrigation Farms in Pringgabaya District, (2) Analyze the Efficiency of Using Cayenne Pepper Farming Inputs on Pumped Water Irrigation Farms in Pringgabaya District. The research method used is descriptive research method. The number of respondents was 30 farmers. The types of data used are qualitative data and quantitative data. The data collection technique was carried out using the survey method. The research results show that: (1) The average production costs incurred are IDR 18,897,381/LLG or IDR 39,924,043/Ha. Meanwhile, the farmer's income is Rp. 26,148,786/LLG or Rp. 55,243,914/Ha, (2) The production factor of area of cultivated land, number of seeds and use of Antracol pesticide has an Efficiency value (NPMxi/Pxi) > 1, which means Not Yet Efficient. Meanwhile, Urea fertilizer, NPK Phonska fertilizer, Prevathon pesticide, the amount of water used, and the use of labor have an efficiency value (NPMxi/Pxi) < 1, which means it is not efficient.
