“…Furthermore, cassava's ability to yield significant edible biomass per unit of land can potentially increase income. According to [9], income generated through cassava production also plays a highly critical role in the household welfare of farmers. On the other hand, the breadth of cassava applications in industries such as food, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals also boosts farmers' market demand and revenue prospects [5,6,10].…”

Assessing the factors influencing cassava sales and income generation among South African cassava farmers is critical for informed decision-making, policy formulation, targeted interventions, and the long-term growth of the cassava value chain. By recognizing these elements, stakeholders can improve market efficiency, increase income opportunities, reduce poverty, promote rural development, and nurture a sustainable and inclusive cassava value chain. This study examines factors that influence cassava sales and positive income generation along the cassava value chain. Using a simple sample method, we collected data from 240 farmers in the South African provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga. A logistic regression was used to investigate the impact of explanatory variables on the probability of selling cassava and earning a positive income. Findings show that having access to output markets, owning livestock, being a female, and having sizable land under cassava production enhances the possibility of cassava sales and generating a positive income. In contrast, age has a detrimental influence on cassava sales, while access to extension services and harvesting for household food consumption exhibited no substantial effects. The findings underline the importance of market access, gender equality, integrating livestock farming among cassava farmers, support for elderly farmers, and sustainable agricultural practices. To ensure the long-term positive generation of income by farmers and the sustainability of the cassava value chain, policymakers and stakeholders must collaborate and execute policies and interventions that address these essential concerns.

The study aims to know the farmer’s income from organic rice farming and farmer household income, to determine the welfare of farmer households. This research was conducted by data collection from 70 farmers’ households. The data analysis was used for the estimation of the farmer household income exchange rate and good service ratio. The results showed that the farmers are not yet prosperous. Further analysis to determine the role of organic rice farming for farming households has received less attention from researchers. Regarding this study, on-farm income derived from organic rice farming has a role as income contribution about 34.71% on the welfare of farmer households, classified as moderate.

Purpose. This study analyzed multidimensional poverty in cassava farm households in Wonogiri Regency, Indonesia. Methodology / approach. The main method was a descriptive quantitative approach. Moreover, a purposive method was used in determining the study area, considering that Wonogiri Regency is the largest cassava production area in Central Java Province. The number of research samples was 100 cassava farm households. The data analysis method used the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). Results. The headcount ratio (H) based on an analysis of 0.190 meant that 19 % of cassava farm households had poor multidimensional status, and another 81 % were not poor. Furthermore, the intensity of poverty (A) was 0.333, meaning the average deprivation of poor farmers was 0.333. In addition, the Multidimensional Poverty Index of cassava farm households was 0.063. Although the average weight of deprivation indicators of immunization, child mortality, school participation, sanitation, drinking water, and electricity was 0, it must be maintained to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Originality / scientific novelty. Poverty analysis with the Multidimensional Poverty Index approach has never been carried out on cassava farm households in the study area. Previously, data analysis was conducted in the study area included the potential of cassava in the context of food security, cassava-based agro-industrial development strategies, value-added analysis of cassava-based agro-industry, cost structure analysis and feasibility of cassava farming, risk analysis and distribution of cassava farming income as a result of climate change, income distribution with the Gini Index and Lorentz Curve. Therefore, this study fills the gaps in the literature. Practical value / implications. There is a need to improve the education of farmers’ children and future generations of farmers, and to increase the knowledge and understanding of farmers through advisory work in agriculture. The change of cooking fuel from wood and shrubs to liquefied petroleum gas needs should be implemented to improve the living standard of cassava farm households. The floor and roof components of houses need to be refined to improve the living standards of cassava households and increase access to the Internet as a means of information and communication. Improvements in education, health and living standards as multifaceted components must be carried out to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in relation to poverty.
