The data used in this research are primary data in the form of a questionnaire, the statistical analysis uses moderated regression analysis (MRA). The results showed that price fluctuations affect income with a value of t = 7.091 and a significant value of 0.000. Thus the fluctuation of the price of leeks as a commodity of leek farmers will affect the income of farmers. The results of the rain climate test will reduce the effect of price fluctuations in price fluctuations on income as reflected in the value of t = −2.213 with a significant value of 0.036. This research was carried out limited to leek farmers in Sajen village Mojokerto. Future studies can use the latest methods, technologies for planting leeks without looking at the climate with consistent results. Facing price fluctuations, leek farmers are expected to be capable to identify the climate and market needs of leeks so the income will be stable.
