The results of the study indicate that in Soppeng District, the high farmer’s perception of natural silk business are related to socio-economic factors such as the length of residence in the village and gender. The motivation of farmers in natural silk business is generally because natural silk business is easy to implement, technological mastery, and easy to obtain information. Natural silk have big chance to be developed with quality improvement of silkworm seed and silkworm feed. High perception and motivation of community need to be accompanied by the availability of supporting factors so that this business can develop optimally.
