This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer distribution for rice farmers. The research was conducted from October 2024 to March 2025 in Kelurahan Baruga in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi. A sample of 25 farmers was drawn using simple random sampling from a population of 287 farmers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics based on a Likert scale to assess effectiveness on five accuracy indicators: timeliness, location, type, quantity, and price. Three indicators (type, quantity, and price) were classified as effective, while two indicators (timeliness and location) were considered moderately effective. Overall, the distribution of subsidized fertilizers was found to be effective; however, improvements are still necessary, particularly in ensuring timely distribution and availability of fertilizers at appropriate locations
