A partnership is a form of pooling of different resources to generate a greater output. It is widely applied to small scale economic development, including rice farms. The objective of the study is to analyze the pattern of partnership among enterprises in the input rice agribusiness. This study was conducted on two villages that are affected by the lake ecosystem in Sabbangparu Sub-district, Wajo District, South Sulawesi Province with by 70 farmers selected using simple random sampling. The result indicated that the partnership in rice farming could develop because it is supported by the availability of irrigation services and activity on the risk-sharing of crop failure due to flooding. Water and production inputs are two basic needs that can be met; the easiness, efficiency, and risk-sharing of rice farming management can be realized; and the limited capital and frequent flooding problems can be overcome through a partnership system. The partnership model on various food commodities can be developed to improve the welfare of farmers and increase the income of the agricultural sector and region.
