The farmer exchange rate (NTP) is a significant indicator for measuring the purchasing power of Indonesian farmers, who are the main actors in the agricultural sector. This is because the agricultural sector is one of the main sectors in Indonesia, one of which is in East Kalimantan Province. This study aims to predict and forecast the NTP of East Kalimantan Province using the Neural Network (NN) method with the backpropagation algorithm. The data used is the NTP data of East Kalimantan Province for the period January 2020 to September 2024 obtained from the BPS of East Kalimantan Province. This study tested 5 NN architecture models with different numbers of layers in the hidden layer, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 layers in the hidden layer. The study was conducted using 1 input variable, a learning rate of 0.01, a maximum of 10,000 iterations, and a threshold of 0.5. Based on the training process that has been carried out, it was concluded that the best NN architecture that can be used to forecast the NTP of East Kalimantan Province is NN with 5 layers in the hidden layer with a MAPE of 2.087%.
