Abstract

FTT is the ratio of the index of prices received by farmers (It) and the index of prices paid by farmers (Ib).

In February 2024, national FTT was 120.97 or increased by 2.28 percent compared with that in January 2024. The increase in FTT was due to the increase in the index of prices received by farmers (It) at 2.89 percent, which was higher than the increase in the index of prices paid by farmers (Ib) at 0.59 percent.
