This study aims to analyze the level of income and expenditure ratios as a measure of the level of welfare of rubber farmer households. Data obtained by conducting a survey of 120 farmers in the central area of rubber plantations in Jambi Province. The welfare of farmers is analyzed using the Farmer Household Income Exchange (NTPRP) approach. The results of the analysis show that the average rubber farmer in Jambi Province is not as prosperous as indicated by NTPRP of 0.97 <1.
