This study aims to analyze the socio-economic conditions of female farmers involved in potato cultivation in Sukapura Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency. Sukapura Village is known as one of the potato production centers in the highlands of East Java. Female farmers in this village play an important role in potato cultivation activities, including land preparation, plant care, and harvesting. Despite their active role in the production process, female farmers in Sukapura still face various social and economic challenges, such as limited access to capital, limited mastery of agricultural technology, and dependence on middlemen in distributing harvests. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with data collection methods through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The research subjects were selected purposively, namely female farmers who have at least three years of experience in potato cultivation. The data collected were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key patterns related to their socio-economic conditions. The results of the study show that female farmers in Sukapura Village have an important role in supporting the family economy, but their social and economic position is still vulnerable. They experience limitations in access to capital, training, and wider market networks. In addition, dominant social norms limit their involvement in important decision-making, both at the family and community levels. Based on these findings, women farmers' empowerment programs are needed that focus on increasing access to resources, skills training, and developing fairer marketing networks.
