Abstract

The main agricultural product of Madura Island is tobacco. Tobacco from Madura Island is different from other regions because of its distinctive aromatic odor so prices are different. Madura tobacco productivity is determined based on TPI (Tobacco Planting Index) which is determined from total production and leaf quality. The purpose of this study is to get a detailed description of how Madura tobacco farmers determine the selling price and constraints owned by farmers in determining the selling price of tobacco which can then be used as a recommendation in government policy to stabilize tobacco prices in the market. This type of research is a qualitative study by distributing interviews with farmers. The results obtained from this study are the determination of the price of tobacco based on the decision of a middleman where farmers do not have a good bargain. Farmers only count from tobacco seeds and tobacco fertilizer without calculating the desired profit margins. Therefore, there is a need for assistance and directed technical guidance from the government that starts from the correct tobacco planting to produce quality crops. Furthermore, local government policy is needed to create a strategy in determining competitive harvest prices so farmers can increase profits that have a positive impact on the welfare of farmers, and oversee the existing tobacco mafia.
