Weaknesses of Farmers are low level of education and family income. The opportunities of farmers are having a network to strengthen their farming business and easy access to production factors. The threats faced by farmers are the absence of norms in the community to regulate land and water use as well as local wisdom to support farming, existing institutions in the community that do not support farming optimally and the average production per hectare is still below the national average production.
