Productivity is one of the important factors in influencing the income of oil palm farmers. This is also proven when productivity increases, farmers' income will also increase, with high productivity being able to cover the operational costs of oil palm maintenance such as fertilization which is very influential in increasing oil palm productivity. Simultaneously (F test) shows that F count (23.182) > F table (3.18) and significant value (0.000) < a (0.05), then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, meaning that Price (X1) and Productivity (X2 ) together or simultaneously affect the income of oil palm farmers in Ujung Tanjung Village, South Bahar District because the higher the price and productivity of oil palm, the income of farmers will also increase.
