Abstract

The coffee commodity is one of the plantation sub-sector commodities which is widely cultivated by Indonesians and has a large contribution to the national economy, especially as a source of foreign exchange. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the income of coffee farmers in South Sulawesi Province. The analytical method used is multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the factors of land area, number of productive plants, labor, age, education level, and farming experience simultaneously significantly affected the income of coffee farmers in South Sulawesi Province. Factors in the number of productive plants, labor, and farming experience partially have a significant effect on the income of coffee farmers while the factors of land area, age, and level of education do not significantly influence the income of coffee farmers in South Sulawesi Province.
