Clove is a high-potential plantation commodity widely demanded by European countries as a spice. Most residents of Ngiliran Village, Panekan Subdistrict, Magetan Regency, have been cultivating cloves since 1970. However, clove prices have continuously fluctuated, necessitating research into farmers’ motivation to maintain clove farming. This study aims to analyze the drive that makes farmers continue to do clove farming in Ngiliran Village. 35 active clove farmers were randomly interviewed. The research method employed was descriptive with a quantitative approach. Data analysis techniques included the Rank Spearman correlation analysis. The analysis results indicate that farmers’ motivation to maintain clove farming is to meet physiological needs such as clothing, food, shelter, investment, and savings for old age. The Rank Spearman correlation analysis shows that internal factors, including primary occupation, secondary occupation, income, and number of family dependents, have a significant relationship with physiological needs. Additionally, the external factor of marketing significantly correlates with farmers’ physiological needs.
