Abstract

This research was conducted in Weoe Village, Wewiku District, Malaka Regency. This study aims to analyze the amount of productivity, income, and the influence of socio-economic factors of farmers on the productivity of mung bean farming. The research method used is a survey method with location determination by purposive sampling and respondent determination using a simple random sampling method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using productivity analysis, income, and multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that the average productivity of mung bean farming in the research area is not optimal among farmers, which is around 887 kg / ha, this condition indicates that productivity in the research area is influenced by several things, such as the lack of fertilizer use, limited pest and disease control, limited superior seeds, and cultivation techniques that still rely on traditional methods. The average income of mung bean farming is Rp. 6,665,795, obtained from the difference between total revenue of Rp. 7,995,837 and total production costs incurred by farmers in one planting season of Rp. 1,330,058. The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicate that farmers' socioeconomic factors simultaneously influence the productivity and income of mung bean farming businesses. While partially, some variables have a significant effect and others have no significant effect. Therefore, increasing the productivity and income of mung bean farming businesses can be achieved through more optimal management of production factors and improving farmers' knowledge and skills in farming activities.
