Increased rice production and variations in production at both spatial and temporal levels have created a number of marketing problems. A rice marketing system needs to be developed and expended to link markets through equalization and distribution. Therefore, estimations of marketing costs, margins, and how efficiently the rice marketing system works are the purpose of this study. The results show that the size of marketing costs and margins vary according to the group of traders. Sub-district traders enjoyed higher margins per t, while district traders had lower margins per t but higher sales volume. Net margins and marketing costs in Java were lower than those on Sumatera Island, but the farmers share was higher in Java. This indicates that rice marketing in Java tends to be more efficient than that on Sumatera Island.
