Abstract

The goal of this research is to evaluate how much money comes from the Minapolitan region to the rice farmers' earnings in OKU District. The decision to conduct the research in the OKU, a prototype district for the Minapolitan Region in South Sumatra Province, was made on purpose. Utilization of water resources in the form of semitechnical irrigation for fish maintenance is of course expected to increase the income of rice farmers' families. The study was conducted in January 2022 in OKU District. The approach to the study is A sampling technique and a surveying technique used is a simple random method using the Slovin formula to obtain a sample of 51 people from 171 populations. The research data processing uses mathematical analysis by calculating the contribution value of the Minapolitan area's income to the rice farmers' earnings families in OKU. The outcomes revealed that the contribution of income from the Minapolitan area to the rice farmers' earnings in OKU Regency was 29.05%. This shows that although it does not dominate family income, the income from the minapolitan area is sufficient to support the income of rice farming families in OKU Regency. The land's condition, which is increasing narrower but is still able to make good use of the water resources available, demonstrates that this region's business may be maximized to raise the income of rice-farming families in OKU.
