This study uses factors of student age, education and experience of farmers, income, size of the farm and type of plants as factors that influence the interests of agricultural students to continue farming. This study uses quantitative data obtained from surveys. Data is collected from 204 respondents and analysed with binary logistic regression model. The variables of parents’ experience in farming, age of the students and type of the plant significantly influence whether or not students are interested in continuing farming. Three other variables, namely income from the farm, sizes of the farm and education or training of the parents related to farming were found to not significantly affect interest in farming.
