This study aims to describe the profile of farmers, and the profit of porang farming. A proportional random sampling was used which involved 30 chip-selling farmers and 70 farmers selling wet tubers during a 3-year growing season in 2016-2019. Data analysis was conducted descriptively in tabular form. The results showed that all farmers were male, with the majority classified into the productive age, and a dominant educational level of elementary school. Furthermore, farming experience was below 13 years, with the Indonesian rosewood as the most widely used stand plant specie. Most farmers utilized less than 1.3 ha of Perhutani’s land. Sixty farmers sold the crops in form of wet tubers, 26 sold in form of chips (dry tubers), 6 sold wet tubers and chips (dry tubers), 4 sold bulbil/frogs and wet tubers, and 4 farmers sold the bulbil/frog and chips (dried tubers). The largest expenditure was the cost of seeds, amounting to 45.67% of the total expenditure, although included in the implicit costs. Therefore, farmers’ profit from porang farming reached 14,649,032 IDR for three years.
