Abstract

Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) is a comparison of the price index received by farmers (It) to the price index paid by farmers (Ib).

NTP is an indicator to see the level of ability/purchasing power of farmers in rural areas. NTP also shows the exchangeability (terms of trade) of agricultural products for goods and services consumed and for production costs.

In September 2023, the NTP for Sumatera Utara Province (2018=100) was recorded at 126.20 or an increase of 2.61 percent compared to the NTP in August 2023, which was 122.99.

Meanwhile, the NTP for two other subsectors experienced a decline, namely the NTP for the Livestock subsector by 0.84 percent and the NTP for the Fisheries subsector by 0.34 percent.
