Sungailiat District contributes the highest mustard greens production in Bangka Regency in 2022. However, currently sweet mustard greens farmers in Sungailiat District are faced with the problem of decreasing production quantities due to the increase in the quantity and price of inputs for production costs. Apart from that, the selling price is relatively low, so it can affect the income received. This research aims to analyze the factors that influence the income of sweet mustard farmers.
