Abstract: Abstract Fertilizer subsidy is one of the government’s fiscal policies for farmers, which aims to increase agricultural production. This study aims to determine the procedures for implementing the subsidized fertilizer program and analyze the effectiveness of distributing subsidized fertilizers to corn farmers. The research was conducted in Nagari Lingkuang Aua, West Pasaman Regency, and was carried out from July to August 2022. This method was carried out using a survey method and to determine the sample using a purposive sampling method. Data were analyzed using descriptive and qualitative analysis. The study results indicate that the procedure for implementing subsidized fertilizers at the research site has been carried out in accordance with the implementation instructions that have been set. However, some things still need to be implemented, such as retailers not reconfirming the preparation of the RDKK to farmer groups and the monitoring stage was not carried out periodically (monthly). The fertilizer subsidy policy was measured in six precise indicators: price, type, time, quantity, place, and quality. Based on the six indicators, the price accuracy indicator was categorized as quite effective, the time accuracy indicator was categorized as ineffective, and the quantity accuracy indicator was classified as weak. The other three indicators, namely type, place, and quality, are categorized as very effective.
