The study seeks to identify the factors influencing Khmer household income in order to propose solutions to help increase income and improve the living conditions of Khmer people in Kien Giang province. The study used descriptive statistics and least squares regression analysis to determine the factors affecting the income of Khmer ethnic households in Kien Giang province. There were three factors that positively affected the income of Khmer households in Kien Giang province, namely education, arable land, and means of production. Therefore, in order to increase income, solutions such as increasing qualified resources for Khmer households, developing diverse income-generating activities, and providing support for production means must be implemented. In addition, natural disasters and epidemics also exerted a negative impact on the income of Khmer households. Thus solutions to minimize the impact of natural disasters on agriculture are necessary.
