Integrated farming of rainfed lowland rice and beef cattle is an effort that combines rice cultivation in rainfed lowland and beef cattle fattening. Rainfed rice fields can produce straw which can be used as animal feed and beef cattle can provide cow dung as an organic fertilizer needed in rainfed lowland rice farming. Integration between rice farming in rainfed lowland and fattening beef cattle is expected to create minimal production costs and utilization of local resource potential. This study was conducted to determine the financing structure and integration of aromatic rice and beef cattle in Seluma Regency, Bengkulu Province. The assessment method used is survey method.
