Production of sago liqud sugar still feasible even price of wet sago increase until 30%, gas fuel until 10%, labour and packaging until 20% eventhoug production decrease 10% but price of sago liquid sugar increase minimum 10%. The yield of organoleptic test show that sago liquid sugar have taste, color and smell that can be good accepted by community.
