Welfare Level of Organic Rice Farmers Based on Good Service Ratio, Farmer Household Income Exchange Rate, And Farmers Exchange Rate in Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Organic rice farming is receiving greater attention from the community due to their increasing awareness of healthy food consumption patterns. This study aimed to determine the level of welfare of organic rice farmer households in Central Java and Yogyakarta. Sampling was carried out using proportional stratified random sampling from five districts for a total of 150 respondents. Data analysis used the good service ratio (GSR), farmer household income exchange rate (FHIER), and farmer exchange rate (FER) approaches. Farming households with GSR and FHIER values of 0.38 and 1.22, respectively are classified as prosperous.  Meanwhile, farmers are still classified as not prosperous because of the FHIER values of 0.72 and FER value of 13.67, meaning that they rely solely on farming income which is inadequate to cover household expenses. The results also show that incomes from organic rice farming contributed to around 18.95% of household incomes. Therefore, farming is feasible to be developed because it has the potential as a source of income for the welfare of farmer households. In addition, the results of the study can be used by stakeholders in supporting productivity, welfare, and even the food security of farmers to encourage economic growth
