Abstract
Recently, farmer's market in agricultural commodities has raised the problem of keeping farm foods in farmer's market. Therefore, we undertake a study on farmer's behavior in producing the major farm products in farmer's market and discussed farmer's group on efficient production. The results revealed that sale of each major good was strongly influenced by farmer's good sale per month and the duration; price and transport time has no influation the amount of goods sold and the latter are not influenced by farmer's choice. Subsequently, we concluded that making farmer's group is effective and leads to an increased monthly production and sustainable skill. However, it's difficult to raise price in farmer's market and to choose the goods of best pattern and in relation to transportation cost and production area.
