Abstract

This research has two main objectives. First, to analyze the amount of income and spending patterns of farmer households in Sekotong District. Second, to study the income exchange rate and the level of welfare achieved by farmer households in the same location. The method applied in this study is descriptive. The sampling technique used quota sampling with a total of 30 respondents, while the determination of farmers as respondents was carried out by accidental sampling. The collected data was analyzed by calculating the income, expenditure, and exchange rate of farmers' household income. The findings of the study revealed that: 1) The average household income of dryland farmers in Sekotong District reached Rp31,541,885.83 per year, which was sourced from various sectors. The on-farm sector contributed the most, at 39.23%. Meanwhile, the average household expenditure of IDR 34,700,312.57 per year is allocated for farming needs, food consumption, and non-food. 2) The result of the calculation of the Farmer Household Income Exchange Rate (NTPRP) in Sekotong District is 0.91. This figure is below 1, which indicates that the level of welfare of dryland farmers in the region is still relatively low.
