This study aim to analysed Utilizing Local Products in the School Meal Program (FSP) to Improve Farmers' Economy in Lautem Municipality. The research involved various stakeholders, including school directors and local suppliers. Findings revealed many farmers produce agricultural products but lack access to the school meal program. Issues like distance, poor road conditions, and limited market access hinder their ability to sell. The
findings highlight responses from members of agricultural groups and partners in the PROSPEK initiative and show the result that most farmers produce agricultural products, with the following percentages: 66% for beans, 48% for vegetables and tubers, 59% for maize, 37% for aquaculture, 60% for local livestock, and 36% for pigs, while 27% focus on goat production. Many farmers are capable of producing a variety of products (not limited to just one type). Farmers sell their products weekly or based on the harvest season. Farmers have the capacity to produce more, but they face difficulties accessing markets due to long distances or poor road conditions, along with limited local buyers. Many roads are only accessible during the dry season. Improving roads and market access could enhance their opportunities to sell their products. Farmers also want access to market information and storage facilities or extension services. Government programs can also purchase their products; however, many farmers still lack access.
