The data collected in this study were primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained from farmers and traders using questionnaires.

A total of 45 farmers who were members of the corn farmer group were selected randomly (simple random sampling) as respondents. Sampling of corn traders as many as 6 people was carried out using the Snowball Sampling method.The results showed that there were four patterns of marketing channels for corn in Pangkusa Village, namely: (I) Farmer–Factory, (II) Farmer–Village Collector–Factory, (III) Farmer–Subdistrict Collector–Factory, (IV) Farmer–Village Collector– District-Factory Collector. The most efficient marketing channel in marketing corn seen from Margin and Farmers share, was marketing channel I, because farmers in channel I sold their production directly to the factory. Based on the margin and Farmers share, channel IV pattern was not efficient. The profit-to-cost ratio in each marketing agency was not efficient because the corn marketing agency did not provide evenly distributed profits.]]>
