Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between household income of lowland rice farmers and their level of welfare in Tanah Sepenggal District, Bungo Regency. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, and the Chi-Square test (2x3 contingency) was used for data analysis. Data were collected from 65 farmer respondents selected using simple random sampling, based on Slovin's formula with a 12% margin of error. The results showed that: (1) Lowland rice farming is the primary source of household income for farmers in the study area; (2) Farmers’ income is derived from three sources: on-farm (rice farming), off-farm (non-rice farming), and non-farm (non-agricultural activities), with average incomes above the regional minimum wage; (3) In general, farmers’ welfare is categorized as moderate, indicated by a high proportion (40%–75%) of income spent on food consumption; (4) There is a significant relationship between household income and farmer welfare, as shown by the results of the Chi-Square test. These findings suggest that improving household income significantly contributes to enhancing farmers’ welfare. Keywords: Household income, farmer welfare, lowland rice, Chi-Square, Tanah Sepenggal.
