Capital shortage is one the main problems faced by the agribusiness actors. To solve these problems, the government launches a Rural Agribusiness Development Program (PUAP) with direct public grants (BLM) awarded as the capital for farmers to improve rural economy eventually leading to growth and development of Agribusiness Micro Finance Institution (LKM-A) in rural areas. This paper aims to: (1) review the development strategy of the LKM-A that supports farming system effectively, (2) formulate alternative government policies to support development of LKM-A. The federations of farmers' groups (Gapoktan) implementing PUAP in 2008 and 2009 have been developing LKM-A. The presence of LKM-A facilitates farm financing. In the future, Gapoktan should improve LKM-A through socialization, better coordination among stakeholders, increasing LKM-A capital, purchase of farmers' production, and facilities and infrastructures enhancement.

Therefore Reorienting policy and programs in agriculture and ensuring availability of facilities and assistance for stability stock and the price is required.
