In the present study, inter-regional analysis of levels, patterns, and distribution of income among the farm households is studied. The results of the study reveal that the average annual income of an average farm household is the highest in the high, followed by medium, and low productivity regions. There are considerable differences in the income levels across all the regions. The farm business income is the major source of income and its relative share in the total income is the highest in the low, followed by medium and high productivity regions. All the farm-size categories enhance their income with non-farm activities across all the regions. The per capita income of an average farm household is the highest in the high productivity region and the lowest in the medium productivity region. The concentration of household income is highly skewed in the high productivity region, less skewed in the low productivity region. The distribution of per capita income is more uneven in the high, followed by medium and low productivity regions. Inequalities in the distribution of per household income are greater than the per capita income across all the regions.
