Abstract: In this regard, this study aims to analyze the relationship between agriculture extension agent quality with farmers' soft skill competence, teamwork, and its impact on increasing productivity of farmers from the perspective of extension agents. This research was conducted using quantitative methods, with structural equation modeling (SEM)-Amos as a study tool. The study was conducted on 2,350 extension agents (civil servants) in South and West Sulawesi. Until the specified time limit, only 123 extension agents filled out the questionnaire from the total extension agents at the study site. This study found that the quality of agricultural extension agents can improve farmers' productivity through soft skills competence and teamwork. The result contributes to the empirical study limitations of the relationship between agriculture extension agent quality and productivity of farmers, especially the indirect effect through soft skill competence and teamwork, even though this study is in terms of the extension agent itself.
