The area of rubber plantations in Tabalong Regency is 69,505 ha spread across 12 districts, 28.43% of the area of South Kalimantan rubber plantations which reached 244,421 ha. There are two rubber planting patterns, namely a single planting distance of 6 m, a distance between rows and 3 m, a distance between plants with a rubber population of 550 plants, while the SUPRADIN pattern, a double planting distance, a distance between double rows of 18 m, narrow rows of 2 m, and between plants of 2.5 m with a plant population of 400 / ha. Annuals that are intercropped from the SUPRADIN rejuvenation model in rubber plants in Tabalong Regency are gogo rice plants and tomato plants. Gogo rice, tomatoes and large chilies are crops that very suitable for planting in highland areas, so this is in accordance with land conditions in the Tabalong Regency area. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost, income and profit structure, as well as the feasibility of farming gogo rice, tomatoes and large chilies as interstitial crops in dry land in the SUPRADIN (Diversified and Integrative People's Rubber Plantation Business System) pattern in Tabalong Regency. Based on the results of the study, it shows that the amount of gogo rice farming issued by rubber farmers in the SUPRADIN pattern is IDR 9,312,447 / ha, with an income of IDR 13,662,540 / ha, and a profit of IDR 6,841,930 / ha. In tomato farming, the farming costs incurred amounted to IDR 34,195,357 / ha, with income of IDR 54,726,372 / ha, and the profit amounted to IDR 34,599,528 / ha. Meanwhile, the cost of large chili farming is IDR 43,977,327 / ha, with income of IDR 97,258,483 / ha, and profits of IDR 74,392,969 / ha. In addition, in terms of feasibility, gogo rice, tomato and large chili can be said to be worth cultivating. The RCR value of large chili farming is 2.69, meaning that every IDR 1 of farm costs incurred provides revenue of IDR 2.69. The RCR value of tomato farming is 2.03, meaning that every IDR 1 of farming costs incurred provides revenue of IDR 2.03. While the RCR value of gogo rice farming is 1.76, meaning that every IDR 1 of farming costs incurred provides revenue of IDR 1.76.
