A method is needed to predict the price of shallots so that they can anticipate the risk of loss if the selling price of shallots decreases, so that the public can know in advance if the selling price of shallots decreases. The social life of shallot farmers in the village of guaan can overcome the risks they will face when yields decline and if sales increase, the income obtained is more and can increase their needs. The purpose of this study was to determine the Socio-Economic Life of Shallot Farmers in Guaan Village, Mooat District, East Bolaang Mongondow Regency.
