This research aims to analyze direct and indirect effects of farmer exchange rate and agricultural land conversion toward agricultural sector poverty in Indonesia, with the objects of 33 provinces in Indonesia (excludes North Kalimantan) from 2009 until 2013. This research is using path analysis to obtain the result, with agricultural laborer variable and agricultural productivity as intervening variables. The result obtained that farmer exchange rate has a direct and indirect effect toward agricultural sector poverty, besides agricultural land conversion has an indirect effect toward agricultural sector poverty.Keywords: Farmer Exchange Rate, Agricultural Land Conversion, Agricultural Productivity, Agricultural Sector PovertyJEL Classification: I32, Q01, Q24
