  • Households with irrigation access had significantly higher incomes compared to non-irrigators (β = 0.263, p < 0.01).
  • Education (β = 0.146, p < 0.01) and livestock ownership (β = 0.057, p < 0.01) positively influenced income.
  • Family size (β = −0.038, p < 0.01) and market distance (β = −0.029, p < 0.01) negatively affected income.
