This study aims to analyze the income of fishermen during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 in the Cilacap Regency area. The method used is a case study using trend analysis (time series) by utilizing quantitative descriptive research. The results of the study revealed that some staple foods did not directly affect the income of fishermen using motorboats.
