Abstract Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is consumed as a cooking seasoning, flavoring, culinary, and herbal medicine. In Indonesia, domestic production is only about 5% of national consumption needs, so 95% of the shortfall comes from imports. Garlic is a superior agricultural product that has the potential to generate income for farmers. The purpose of this research is to analyze the income of garlic farming. The research was conducted in Karanganyar Regency using a proportional systematic random sampling method, and 194 farmers were selected. This research compares 3 planting seasons, which are divided into planting in April-May, June-July and August-November. Production inputs consist of seeds, manure, chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, labor, dolomite, and others. The results obtained, the average production cost per hectare is Rp.87,779,449,-.The proportion of the cost of buying seeds is 34.72%. The average production is 4.78 tons per hectare with an average price of Rp.20,848 per kilogram. The average income per hectare is Rp.87,977,271,-. The value of the R/C ratio is 1.002 (> 1), and the value of the B/C ratio is 0.002 (> 0). Thus, garlic farming in Karanganyar Regency is profitable, because the income (revenue) is greater than the costs incurred and it is still feasible to continue because it provides positive benefits.
