| Summary: | Farmers in Sentolo, Kulon Progo Regency have farmed shallots using environmentally friendly cultivation systems. Unfortunately, the farmers have weak bargaining positions, so they receive a low farmer’s share. The research aimed to determine the channels, margins, and marketing efficiency. The respondents were 38 farmers and 42 traders. The results showed that one channel was sold to the local consumer market and seven channels were sold to the consumer market in the southern part of Central Java, West Java, and DKI Jakarta. The highest marketing cost was IDR 4,064/kg sold on the Cikarang retail market channel.
