The results showed that the level of farmer participation in the agricultural extension partnership program was good with an index value of 79.16%. Sequentially the response of farmers' involvement in agricultural activities (87.37%), provision of production facilities (84.24%) and program planning (80.14) were in very good category. The involvement of farmers in product processing (76.26%), program evaluation (74.69%) and product marketing (72.24%) is included in the good category.
