This research aims to identify the marketing channel of palm harvest (TBS) in West Pasaman Regency and compare the efficiency between the existing marketing channels. The study was conducted on 30 Oil Palm Farmers and 6 collectors in Kinali as a sample. The results of the study show that there are three marketing channels for palm oil in West Pasaman, namely the model І channel (farmer - collector - platform - manufacturer), model II channel - (farmer - platform - manufacturer) and model III (farmer - factory) channel. The channel that is most widely used by farmers is model I channel because farmers only have little harvest, locations are far from factory and do not have their own means of transportation to bring them directly to the factory. Share of profits received by farmers in model I was 67.64%, marketing channel model II was 84.88% and marketing channel model III was 100%. The results of this study recommend to the Government or Non-Governmental Organizations to develop more efficient distribution channels so that the portion of profits received by farmers can be greater.
