Abstract

Dry-milled paddy (GKG) and milled rice represent different forms of harvested rice crops. The distinct processes involed in producing GKG and milled rice result in variations in revenue and production costs for each, consequently affecting farmers' incomes. This study compares the income of rice farmers who sell either dry milled paddy (GKG) or milled rice. The research was quantitative and was conducted in Sungai Kakap District, Kubu Raya Regency, specifically in Pal IX Village and Sungai Itik Village. This Study applied income analysis and a one-tailed independent sample t-test. The findings reveal that the average income of rice farmers selling dry milled paddy (GKG) was IDR 21,105,98/ha, while the average income of rice farmers selling milled rice was IDR 22,856,137/ha. The income difference test result show tht the significance value (1-tailed) is less than the significance level (0.000 < 0.05), leading to the rejection of H0 and acceptance of H1. This statistic confirms that the income of rice farmers selling milled rice is significantly greater than the income of rice farmers selling dry milled paddy (GKG).
