Disamping itu menganalisis besarnya kontribusi usaha pengolahan gula aren pada pendapatan rumahtangga pengrajin, distribusi pendapatan pengrajin gula aren dan tingkat kesejahteraan pengrajin menurut kriteria Sayogyo dan GSR (Good Service Ratio) dan BPS pusat dan daerah. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa berdasarkan hasil uji kelayakan usaha pengolahan gula aren layak dikembangkan dan menguntungkan, usaha pengolahan gula aren memberikan kontribusi sangat tinggi bagi pendapatan pengrajin,berdasarkan indeks gini yang diperoleh distribusi pendapatan rumahtangga pengrajin dengan usaha gula aren lebih merata dari pendapatan non usaha gula aren. Pendapatan usaha pengolahan gula aren-lah yang berperan dalam memperbaiki distribusi pendapatan rumahtangga pengrajin ,dengan usaha pengolahan gula aren mampu meningkatkan pendapatan rumahtangga diatas garis kemiskinan berdasarkan kriteria BPS pusat dan daerah,berdasarkan kriteria Sayogyo maka pengrajin di desa Tuhaha tidak miskin, sedangkan berdasarkan nilai GSR, pengrajin usaha gula aren lebih sejahtera karena nilai GSR lebih kecil satu.

The method used in this research is descriptive method. Sampling was done as census to all palm sugar producers of 40 people. Economically feasibility analysis was used to observe business feasibility by determining R-C ratio, profits (π), capital productivity (π-C ratio), Net Present Value. In addition, analysis of contribution magnitude of palm sugar processing business to household income of producers, producers’ income distribution and levels of palm sugar producers’ welfare according to Sayogyo’s criteria, GSR (Good Service Ratio) and the national and local BPS was done. The results of this research showed that based on the results of the feasibility test, palm sugar processing business was profitable and feasible to developed, and palm sugar processing business has a very high contribution to producers’ income, based on gained Gini index, household income distribution of palm sugar producers was more evenly than another businesses income.
