Qualitative analysis is used to look at cultivation activities, diversification patterns (diversification) of the business in the vegetable commodities in the study location and several other related matters will be described descriptively. Quantitative analysis is presented in the form of a tabulation which aims to simplify the data in an easy-to-read form. The results of the study show that there are 11 vegetable commodities making up the diversification pattern in South Jambi District consisting of 5 diversified cropping patterns with a moderate diversity index. The highest profit is obtained from cropping pattern V (7 commodities) and with a correlation coefficient between diversity and income of r = 0.805249241, this can be interpreted that the strength of the relationship between variable levels of diversity and income is near perfect.
