The focus of this research is to examine how the Cheap Market Operation Program policy by the Trade Service is in suppressing the increase in rice prices in Bekasi Regency. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Apart from that, the analysis tool used in this research uses the theory of program effectiveness according to Budiani in Reswari & Manggalou (2023) which has three indicators, namely: (1) Accuracy of Program Targets, (2) Program Socialization, (3) Program Objectives, (4) Program Monitoring. The results of the research show that the Cheap Market Operation program organized by the Bekasi Regency Trade Service through the Basic and Important Materials Control Sector has been running effectively when viewed from the aspects of target accuracy, outreach, objectives and monitoring. However, there are still inhibiting factors related to limited human resources in each sub-district and village as supporting agencies. Therefore, further evaluation is needed regarding the cooperative relationship so that the Cheap Market Operation program can run more optimally in the future.
