<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the factors influencing farmers' decisions to engage in the ijon (advance crop sale) system and to analyze the level of price risk faced by coffee farmers in Tango Molas Village, Lamba Leda Timur District, East Manggarai Regency. The research was conducted on 100 coffee farmers, consisting of 50 ijon users and 50 non-ijon users, selected using simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression to identify the factors influencing the farmers' decisions to use the ijon practice, while the price risk level was analyzed using the Coefficient of Variation (CV). The results showed that simultaneously, the logistic regression model was significant in explaining farmers' decisions to adopt the ijon practice. Partially, capital needs and the coffee price received by farmers significantly affected their decision to use the ijon system, whereas education level, land area, family size, and production volume had no significant effect at the 5% significance level (Nagelkerke R² = 0.881). Furthermore, price risk analysis yielded a Coefficient of Variation (CV) of 12.34%, indicating that the price risk level faced by coffee farmers falls into the moderate category. Based on these findings, it is recommended to expand farmers' access to formal financing sources, strengthen farmers' economic institutions, and improve access to market price information to reduce reliance on the ijon system and enhance the welfare of coffee farmers.]]>
