Each of these markets can provide different profits after being reduced by production costs (Rp11,200) namely for consumers Rp3,800, retailers Rp5,800 and collectors 3,800. The similarity in getting profits from consumers and collectors is due to the consumer factor, generally the buyers are neighbors around the house or family while the collectors are due to the purchase volume factor which is larger than the others. Retailers are buyers who buy palm sugar with the aim of reselling it and the volume is smaller than the collectors. The retailers then sell it to consumers and the collectors sell it to wholesalers. Wholesalers resell it to retailers and then the retailers sell it to consumers.
