Popis: Red onion farming faces some problems such as unstable price and supply, long marketing chain, and weak bargaining position of farmers as well as the quality of the onion. The Toko Tani Indonesia (TTI) program in 2017 attempted to solve the problem. The onions were bought by Lembaga Usaha Pangan Masyarakat (LUPM) at 10% higher price than the market. There were 35tons/year medium-quality onions delivered to TTI, which located in a strategic location to provide consumers with easy access. The long supply chain was reduced to 3 chains (Farmers – LUPM - TTI). A research was conducted in 2018 (West and Central Java Provinces) to study the achievement of the program. Data was collected through the in-depth interview based on a structural questionnaire to 36 individuals related to the program. Results from the qualitative analyzes showed that one expected output namely shortens the supply chain, requires four modifications to be achieved. In conclusion, a packet of technology “E-Planting calendar and production Allocation” should be developed to monitor the implementation of planting and production allocation that could be monitored by related institutions.
