This study aims to analyze the corn value chain pattern and added value in the corn value chain. This study was conducted in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province, from September 2023 to June 2024. The population in this study included all farmers, traders, processors, and input providers. The sample for this study was 50 people spread across 4 sub-districts determined using saturated sampling or census. Data analysis used included Porter's value chain analysis, Hayami's value added analysis, and Garet's ranking analysis. The results showed that the stages of the corn value chain in Kendari City start from input of production facilities, production activities, harvesting, processing, distribution, and consumption, with the main actors being farmers, collectors, and retailers, and supporting actors being input providers and corn processors, the value added analysis showed that each kilogram of corn produces added value of IDR 4,327.50, or around 37.84% of the output value. The portion of added value given to labor is around IDR 416.67 per kilogram of corn, reflecting the labor contribution to the total added value of 9.63%. The main obstacle faced by corn farmers in running their businesses is pests (wild boar, caterpillars, and rats). Meanwhile, for corn traders, the challenge involves the buying and selling process. For corn processors, the main obstacle is the high purchase price of corn raw materials.
