Abstract

Indonesia is an agrarian country, where the main source of livelihood for its people is in agriculture. The utilization of agricultural resources is the key in increasing agricultural productivity so that these limited resources must be allocated as efficiently as possible. Management that is not wise and refers to the future will result in a decrease in the quality of the resource itself which ultimately affects agricultural productivity. As is the case in Karapuh Village, the agricultural sector plays a very important role as the main source of income for farming communities, generally farmers produce agricultural products to meet their daily needs. This study aims to calculate the income of lowland rice farmers in Karapuh Village, Dolok Masihul District, Serdang Bedagai District, and also to determine the factors that affect the income of lowland rice farmers in Karapuh Village, Dolok Masihul District, Serdang Bedagai District. This research was conducted in Karapuh Village, Dolok Masihul District, Serdang Bedagai District. The results showed that the income of rice farmers in Karapuh village, Dolok Masihul sub-district, was relatively high, namely that labor had a significant effect on the income of lowland rice farmers, with income costs between Rp. 2,796,000 - 6,891,000 (25.71% - 45.71%).
