The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate the role of government expenditure on food security and its
model based on the Input Demand Function (IDF). This study uses secondary data collected from the Bureau of Statistics
Centre of Indonesia, which consists of 23 regencies/municipalities in Aceh Province for the 2007-2016 period.
The data is analysed using Two-Stage Least Square (2SLS). The analysis shows that food security in terms of availability,
accessibility, and food utilisation was influenced by the farmers’ decisions regarding production inputs. In order
to increase food availability, the government is partially responsible for the costs incurred by farmers for producing
food. Furthermore, to raise food accessibility, utilisation, and farmers’ income, food prices need to be regulated such
as the price of grain for farmers or the price of rice for producers. To conclude, the government needs to buffer the
stock board and ensure controls are in place to stabilise food prices.

Access to agricultural markets and marketing information are essential factors in promoting competitive markets and improving agricultural sector development. The agricultural sector employs majorities in developing countries and it contributes greatly to the development of these countries. Unluckily, majorities of the farmers are smallholders living in isolated rural areas and thus lack appropriate access to markets for their products and also they are deprived of agricultural market information. As a lack of these, smallholder farmers are exploited by greedy traders and receive low prices for their agricultural produce. This study has explored the use of agricultural market information services in linking smallholder farmers to markets, especially in sub-Sahara developing countries. Origin of, the needs for, and the current status of agricultural market information services in developing countries are clearly presented. Lastly, the study explored the limitation of the success of most agricultural market information services in sub-Sahara developing countries
