This study involved 50 farm women to be the sample in the study, which focused on Nawungan I and Nawungan II hamlets. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach, where there were 2 tests, namely the proportion test and multiple linear regression. The results of this study show that more than 50% of farm women have a high level of participation in shallot farming and processing activities.
