Kondisi harga karet yang berfluktuasi mengharuskan petani untuk meningkatkan motivasi di dalam mencari alternatif usaha untuk dapat menjaga kelangsungan pendapatannya. Salah satu usaha pengolahan karet yang dapat dikembangkan di tingkat petani adalah pengolahan lateks menjadi karet gelang. Makalah ini menyampaikan hasil kajian pengembangan usaha karet gelang skala petani di Kabupaten Musi Banyuasin, Provinsi Sumatera Selatan ditinjau dari aspek kewirausahaan. Penelitian menggunakan metode action research di dua UPPB terpilih sebagai peserta program di Kabupaten Musi Banyuasin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengembangan usaha baru di tingkat petani dapat memberikan manfaat bagi petani dan pembangunan pedesaan. Dalam pengembangannya, usaha karet gelang di tingkat petani masih perlu beberapa perbaikan baik dari sisi karakter kewirausahaan petani dan sarana pendukung lainnya seperti listrik dan kestabilan ketersediaan bahan baku lateks. Beberapa karakter kewirausahaan petani yang masih perlu diperbaiki diantaranya adalah kreatif, dinamis dan memiliki kecakapan memimpin, memiliki akal dan daya yang panjang (resourcefulness) serta kemampuan untuk membangun bridging social capital.
