Farmers' perception of the role of Gapoktan is one of the factors driving farmer participation in agricultural activities and Gapoktan institutions in Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency. This study aims to (1) analyze farmers' perceptions of the combined role of farmer groups in the implementation of the Save Rawa Prosperous Farmers (Serasi) program in Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency; (2) analyze the differences in the income of rice farmers before and after the Serasi program in Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency. The method used in this study is a survey; the data types used are primary data and secondary data. The selection of research locations was carried out purposively, considering that the Tanjung Lago sub-district is one of the sub-districts with a large swamp area.
