Abstrakt: The supply chain is a process of decision-making regarding material flow, information flow, and money flow carried out jointly by supply chain actors continuously to fulfill a product into the hands of end consumers. The many actors involved in the supply chain have different interests. The Ministry of Agriculture has issued regulations governing the Marketing of Quality and Cocoa Beans in expected to increase the income of cocoa farmers. In reality, this has not lived up to expectations. So, we expected the government plays a more role in the agro-industrial supply chain system at the legal dimension, namely through a policy on supply chain management. Hence, it is expected to overcome the complexity of the structure of supply chain actors and the uncertainty in the supply chain system, especially in price uncertainty. This study aims to determine the factors that influence cocoa pricing and how significant it affects the agro-industrial supply chain in West Pasaman, West Sumatra. The research method used is descriptive and quantitative research methods using Structural Equation Modeling. The results showed that product availability, product quality, and cocoa marketing system contribute to cocoa price determination at the farmer level but have no significant influence.
