Spinach is rich in mineral salts and several kinds of vitamins. The implementation of the production process in a farming business, farmers are faced with internal and external problems, internal problems including limited production factors, both quality and quantity. Thus farmers must be clever in selecting and coordinating the types of plants that are profitable and combining existing production factors so that they can generate maximum income. Meanwhile, external problems are natural conditions or seasons as well as pests and diseases.
From an economic point of view, although the spinach farmers in Pekanbaru City have been doing spinach farming for a long time, business efficiency has never been measured. So it is not known how much profit the farmers get. The social problem faced by farmers is land ownership issues.

on Jalan Rawa Bening, Tampan District, spinach farming was carried out by the Baskara Jati Farmer Group, namely Mr. Topan, who is 51 years old. Conflicts between farmers that have occurred are disagreements and have been resolved amicably.
The management of spinach farming in Pekanbaru City has been going well, and there is already efficiency in planting and it is said to be profitable. Based on this analysis, spinach farming in Pekanbaru City is profitable and feasible to develop.
The suggestion that can be given to the analysis of spinach farming is that spinach farming activities need to be maintained by farmers in order to create high income and remain the main source of income. It is hoped that farmers can improve their traditional farming system to a more modern system by using agricultural mechanization tools, such as jetor for land cultivation and technology engineering production facilities such as superior varieties so that farmers' production and income can be increased.
It is hoped that the government will pay more attention to spinach farmers, especially in terms of production prices and production input prices, so that farmers can buy production facilities and can cultivate spinach so they can get a more decent profit. Students and researchers are then expected to examine other factors that influence spinach farming such as the price of production and the price of production inputs to the income of spinach farmers and the role of institutions in improving people's lives.
