Abstract: 
This study aims to investigate the factors affecting farmers' market access in Ninh Thuan Province. Data was gathered through direct interviews with 433 smallholder farmers using a structured questionnaire. Results from the logit model revealed seven significant factors influencing market access: education level, experience, farm size, production linkages, agricultural extension training, information access, and distance to markets. Notably, agricultural extension was found to have the most substantial positive impact on farmers' market access in Ninh Thuan Province. The study offers new insights for policymakers seeking to improve market access for farmers in the province.
