INTRODUCTION
Turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val) is a medicinal plant that is widely known by the public for its various benefits. Apart from being used as a medicinal plant, turmeric is also used as a mixture of cooking spices, coloring agents and natural food preservatives, basic ingredients for making herbal medicine, raw materials for the food and beverage industry and cosmetics. The need for turmeric in the community is quite high, with the role of the community in developing turmeric plants to meet the needs it is hoped that it will increase the production of these plants.  Table 1, that the production of turmeric in Indonesia has experienced ups and downs. The lowest production in the last five years occurred in 2016, namely 107,770.47 tons, but in 2017 turmeric production increased by 19.09 percent. From the table above it is also seen that productivity has also increased and decreased. According to Thamrin (2014), the factors that influence the increase and decrease in productivity are the use of fertilizers and labor factors. Meanwhile, according to Makruf et.al (2012) states that the factors that affect productivity are the area of land, the amount of fertilizer used, the number of workers, the amount of pesticides, and the number of seeds. The limited knowledge possessed by turmeric farmers, both technology and the market, makes turmeric farmers prefer to sell directly their turmeric harvests rather than processing them first into other products. Even though seen from a business opportunity, turmeric plants have a fairly high selling value if processed further. Agro-industry is the process of processing agricultural raw materials into semi-finished or ready-to-use materials which will increase the selling value of the products produced. The existence of agro-industry itself is expected to have a positive impact on agricultural commodities in the future, because the agro-industrial sector plays a role in processing agricultural products into goods that are more useful in meeting community needs (Widianti et.al, 2008).
Seulimum Sub-District is one of the areas that has a turmeric powder processing industry in Aceh Province, especially Aceh Besar district. The location of the turmeric powder processing industry is in Mukim Lamteuba. The area of the turmeric plant in Lamteuba according to the local Agricultural Extension Agency (BPP) is approximately 80 hectares and produces as much as 10 tonnes per hectare. Mr. Sulaiman is a keuchik in Gampong Blangtingkeum and at the same time the originator of the formation of turmeric powder processing in the Lamteuba area. The reason he formed this business was because the selling price offered by retailers (buyers) was relatively cheap. So he thought more creatively to increase the selling value and together with local residents formed a Joint Business Group (KUB) Lamteuba Creative People in producing turmeric powder, where this turmeric powder product is called ASLAM (Original Lamteuba). The formation of this local turmeric powder product has not been able to dominate the Aceh market, due to the involvement of a number of intermediary institutions, especially wholesalers and retailers which will later affect the quantity, price and scope of the target market. Thus causing turmeric powder products from outside Aceh to dominate the market. For this reason, it is necessary to see whether this turmeric agro-industry business is feasible to run in line with competition from similar businesses from outside Aceh.

LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Agro-industry
Agro-industry has a major role in the development of the agricultural sector, especially in the future where agriculture is the mainstay sector in national development. The role of agro-industry will be even greater in efforts to realize a strong, advanced and efficient agricultural sector so that it can become a leading sector in national development, must be supported through agro-industry development, towards a strong, advanced and efficient agro-industry (Kartasasmita, 2011). According to Austin in Hidayat (2012) agro-industry is a process of processing both vegetable and animal products. Agro-industry includes the Agricultural Product Processing Industry, the Agricultural Equipment and Machinery Industry and the Agricultural Sector Service Industry. In the agricultural product processing industry, there are plantation crops, forest products, fisheries and animal husbandry. In addition, agro-industry is an interconnected activity starting from production, processing, transportation, storage, financing, marketing and distribution of agricultural products.
The development of agro-industry requires several prerequisites, as pre-conditions for its development. According to Mosher in Mardiharini and Erizal (2012) in classic literature which reads "Getting Agriculture Moving", there are basic requirements and facilitating conditions which are one of the mandatory requirements for the development of agro-industry in the regions. The main requirements for agricultural development are: (1) the existence of a market to accommodate farm production, (2) the availability of technology, (3) the availability of raw materials and means of production locally, (4) the existence of production incentives for farmers and (5 ) Availability of smooth and continuous transportation. In addition, the conditions for facilitating agricultural development include: (1) development education, (2) production credit, (3) community activities,

Business Feasibility Study
According to Umar in Winantara et.al (2014), business feasibility analysis is an activity in which this activity not only analyzes whether or not a business is feasible, but also when it is operationalized routinely in order to achieve maximum profit for an unspecified time. The puIDRose of doing this business analysis according to Gray and Larson (2007) is (a) To find out the level of profit that can be achieved through investing in a project (b) To avoid wasting resources such as implementing unprofitable activities (c) To conduct an assessment of opportunities existing investments so that they can choose the most profitable alternative activities (d) Determine investment priorities. According to Nurmalina et.al (2009), in a business feasibility study an assessment is made of various aspects ranging from non-financial to financial (financial) aspects. Non-financial aspects include: market, technical, management and legal, socio-economiccultural, environmental aspects.

Market Aspect
The market aspect ranks first in the feasibility study, a business development is said to be feasible, it needs the right place to market processed products so that they can be reached by consumers.

Technical Aspect
Technical aspects include the process of technical business development and operation. In the technical aspect, it is said to be feasible if the place/location of a company is able to support business development. In addition, the layout of the company must be suitable so that it can expedite the production process, as well as selecting the right technology so as not to hinder a business.

Management and Legal Aspects
Aspects of management in the development of a business can be said to be feasible if the management of human resources available in the business has been managed properly, provides appropriate salaries, and has financial reports. In terms of legality, it is feasible to carry out if you already have an environmental permit from the RT, RW, or village. In addition, a permit from the Office of Cooperatives, Industry and Trade in the area where the business is carried out.

Social, Economic, Cultural and Environmental Aspects
Business development is said to be feasible in terms of social, economic, and cultural aspects if it is able to increase employment opportunities, community income, and local revenue. In addition, in the development of a business it is hoped that it will not conflict with the culture of the community.

Advantage
According to Mulyadi (2010), production costs are all costs incurred in processing raw materials into finished or ready-to-use materials. Production costs are divided into two parts, namely fixed costs and variable costs. According to Kuswadi (2005) fixed costs and variable costs are included in groups based on their behavior patterns. Fixed costs are costs incurred that do not change if at any time the company's production increases or decreases. While variable costs are costs incurred both large and small, the amount always changes depending on the required production volume. In this study fixed costs consist of equipment depreciation costs while variable costs consist of raw material costs, labor costs, equipment fuel costs, transportation and packaging costs. For every business actor, profit is a goal to be achieved. According to Roza in Jannah (2012) profit is the total revenue earned minus the total costs incurred. The size of the profits obtained by a business is a measure of the success of its managers in running a business. If the total revenue is reduced by the total costs incurred, the result is negative, then the business is said to have suffered a loss, otherwise if the result is positive, then it can be said that the business is making a profit. To get a big profit can be done by reducing production costs incurred or reducing the selling price. According to Rahardi in Fun (2013) Production costs are costs that must be incurred by business owners to pay for the needs in the production process, both fixed costs and variable costs.

Overview
Seulimum is one of the sub-districts in Aceh Besar District with an area of 40,435 Ha. Seulimum District has regional boundaries, namely: : District of Seulawah Valley and Pidie Regency Seulimum Sub-District is located very far from the market area and the community, causing difficulties for farmers to market their crops to other areas in Aceh Province. Because the distance that must be traveled from Seulimum Sub-District to the Regency Capital is 12 km and the distance from Seulimum Sub-District to the Provincial Capital is 42 km.

Turmeric Powder Production Process
The prospect of processing turmeric rhizome into turmeric powder in Lamteuba requires an overview along with the necessary information regarding the production process of the turmeric powder. The process of processing turmeric rhizome into turmeric powder in Lamteuba, Seulimum Sub-District, Aceh Besar District includes several stages, which can be seen in the scheme below. In 2015 to 2016 they still used simple tools during the washing process such as washing buckets, taIDRaulins, water hoses and others, while in the slicing process they still used knives and relied on workers who on average were women. In the process of drying, milling to packaging, they also still rely on sunlight, pounding and packing also still rely on the labor of the workers. However, in 2017 until now the turmeric powder processing industry has used modern tools such as the washing process using a rhizome washing machine (Vertical Type), the slicing process already using a slicing machine (Vertical Blade Type), Likewise, when drying, they already use a drying machine (20 rack oven) and the milling process also uses a grinding machine (Disk Mill FFC-37). These machines were obtained from a grant/dedication from Bank Indonesia for the country and the usual workforce used in this industry is 3-5 people.
