    This study used primary data which is collected from 96 respondents through a well‐organized questionnaire from the different tehsils of district Swat. For the estimation of the results this study used ordinary least square regression with rebuts standard errors. The study's findings demonstrated a favourable correlation between the ith farmer's income and factors such as their qualifications, the size of their family, their job as a middleman, and their access to markets. Although there is a negative correlation between the output of wheat and rice and the income of the farmer, there is a positive correlation between the production of vegetables. According to this study, providing financial assistance to farmers should be the policy's main objective. The government ought to provide agricultural credits and subsidies to the farmers in the research region. This should provide knowledge, assistance, and agricultural inputs to the farmers.
