Aceh Province contributed three percent of Indonesia's paddy production in 2019. This study aims to analyze the farmer's performance and the correlation between income and paddy farmer’s performance. The samples were selected using purposive sampling and data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and Rank Spearman. The results show the average age of farmers is 46 years old, with 20 years experience in average, and the majority are high school graduates. Meanwhile, the average income of the farmers is IDR 15,464,017/ha, with and the average land managed of 0.7 hectares, the average production of 6.5 ton/ha, the average labor use of 32 days. The farmers use the following fertilizers: 125.74 - 216.85 kg/ha urea, 33.71 - 161.61 kg/ha SP-36, 5.62 - 41.99 kg/ha KCl, 19.43 - 70.72 kg/ha ZA, 20.22 - 222.96 kg / ha NPK, 13.69 kg/ha TSP, 7.30 kg/ha NPK Mutiara and 0.82 - 667.57 kg/ha organic fertilizer. In the Central region, female labors strongly dominate the planting, weeding, and harvesting activities. In the north and west region, women are actively planting and harvesting using conventional systems. The Spearman rank analysis shows that the correlations between income and production of 0.930, land tenure of 0.840, the cost of using fertilizer of 0.283, and the cost of using labor of 0.197.
