description AbstractBamboo meets a growing and various bamboo product demands and generates revenue. The study aimed to analyze the factors that affect the choice of alternative bamboo market outlets. By using two stages sampling procedures, 114 bamboo producers were randomly and proportionally selected. The determinants that affect the choice of bamboo market outlets were analyzed by multivariate probit (MVP) model. Based on the model result, the probability of bamboo producers to select wholesalers, retailers, processors and local traders outlet were 16.8%, 46.2%, 60.8% and 54.3%, respectively. The probability of success and failure to select four market outlets were 2.5% and 2.2%, respectively. The result of MVP revealed that family size, total land holding size, amount of culm production, farming experience, distance to the market and silviculture management practice affect the probability of farmers market outlet choice. Therefore, this study gives an emphasis to the analysis of bamboo market outlets for bamboo culm producers to increase the market return for producers.
