In the agricultural sector, farmers are at risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) due to repetitive movements and non-ergonomic work postures. This study aims to determine the relationship between work posture and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) complaints among farmers. A descriptive-analytic method with a cross-sectional approach was used. The sampling technique applied in this study was total sampling (n = 74). The Chi-square statistical test was used with a significance level of ∝ = 0.05. The results showed a significant relationship between work postures (manual) during the planting media preparation stage (p = 0.040) and the seedling stage (p = 0.031) with MSD complaints. However, no significant relationship was found between work postures (machine) during the planting media preparation stage (p = 0.051) and the seed selection stage (p = 0.241) with MSD complaints. It is recommended that farmers perform stretching exercises during breaks, and it is suggested that relevant agencies provide counseling on ergonomic work postures for farmers.
