Samples in this research are 120 shallot farmers with questionnaires. The data analysis method used in this study consists of descriptive marketing funnel analysis, marketing margin analysis using the cost, profit, and marketing margin formula calculations, marketing efficiency analysis economically using marketing margin percentage and farmer’s share. The results of this study indicate that there are four marketing funnels for shallot, (1) Farmers – market traders – retailers – consumers (2) Farmers – collectors – market traders – retailers – consumers (3) Farmers – collectors – market traders outside the city – consumers outside the city (4) Farmers – collectors outside the city – consumers outside the city. Based on the farmer’s share value results, the most efficient in this study was marketing funnel four.
