Farmer's Exchange Rate Index (NTP) is obtained from the comparison of farmer's price indices to the price index paid by farmers (in percentage). NTP index is one indicator to see the level of ability / purchasing power of farmers in rural areas. The NTP index also shows the term of trade of agricultural products with goods and services consumed as well as for production costs. The higher the NTP Index, the stronger the purchasing power of the farmers.

The Domestic Stock Exchange Rate (NTUP) index is derived from the comparison of farmer's price index (I) to the price index paid by farmers (Ib), with Ib component consisting only of Production Cost and Capital Goods Addition (BPPBM). With the consumption of the price index component paid by the farmer (Ib), NTUP can better reflect the farmer's production capability, as compared to production only with the cost of production.
