Abstract

The purpose of this study is: 1) Market information as a guide for farmers to determine attitudes in increasing their income, 2) Market information as a recommendation for government in submitting the selling price, and, 3) Market information as a guide for farmers in determining the selling price of their products. This research was carried out with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews of several farmer groups. The results of this study are: 1) Improvement of farmers' product yield is not based on market information, because private entrepreneurs who set themselves and buy crops at relatively high prices from the price of the standards that have been set and informed by the government, 2) The source of market information is highly expected by the farming community as a basis for determining the selling price of the products, because so far the government as the source and manager of market information is limited to infrastructure development, 3) Market information through channels / mass media, is highly expected by the farming community as a basis for determining the selling price of the products.
