The average income of farmers ranges from Rp. 2,500,000 to Rp. 16,000,000 per month depending on the type of commodity and land area owned. Factors that affect farmers' income include crop prices, weather, capital, business, fertilizers, and pests. In addition, the agricultural sector also plays a role in meeting the needs of families and education costs.
