The volume of grain supply from rice farming traded in the market determines rice price fluctuations. Information on farmers’ behaviour in utilising rice harvests is strategic for knowing the volume of rice traded. This study analyses patterns and factors influencing farmers’ behaviour using rice harvests. Primary data from the National Farmer Panel (PATANAS) were processed using quantitative methods with econometric models (multiple regression and double hurdle models). The results show that direct grain sales after harvest occur more often in irrigated and tidal rice agroecosystems. Meanwhile, indirect sales of harvested grain occur more frequently in lowland swamp agroecosystems and in rain-fed rice fields. The grain that is not sold immediately is allocated for household consumption and seed purposes and sold in stages. Factors that indirectly influence grain sales are the price of rice, the area cultivated, and the type of agroecosystem. When rice prices rise, farmers reduce the amount of grain they sell directly. The recommended policy recommendations are efforts to increase production in all agroecosystems and stabilise rice prices by strengthening government rice reserves, considering that not all harvested grain is traded.
