Abstract

Palm sugar production represents one of the most important rural economic activities in Indonesia because it provides employment opportunities while supporting household income. Nevertheless, most palm sugar producers continue to rely on traditional production techniques, limited technology adoption, and restricted market access, resulting in suboptimal productivity and income. This study aims to analyze the production process of palm sugar and its contribution to household income in Landi Kanusuang Village, Mapilli District, Polewali Mandar Regency. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach supported by quantitative economic analysis. Twenty palm sugar producers were selected using saturated sampling because the entire population was included as research respondents. Primary data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, while secondary data were obtained from government agencies and village administrative records. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman interactive model complemented by descriptive income analysis. The findings indicate that palm sugar production remains highly dependent on natural resources, family labor, production experience, weather conditions, and traditional processing equipment. Average production reached approximately 130 kilograms with an average revenue of IDR 1,250,000 per production cycle, indicating that palm sugar contributes significantly to household economic sustainability. However, productivity is constrained by limited capital, inadequate production technology, and weak marketing networks. The study implies that improving production technology, strengthening institutional support, expanding market access, and providing government assistance are essential strategies for enhancing household income and promoting sustainable rural economic development.
