Corn-based local food must continue to be encouraged to be a buffer for national food security, so that dependence on rice can continue to be reduced. The assessment was conducted to determine the perceptions and factors that influence the consumption of local food from corn. The research was conducted in Kendari City using a survey method of 150 respondents who were selected through random sampling based on ethnic diversity in Kendari, namely Tolakinese (local ethnicity), Munanese, Butonese, Bugisnese / Makassarnese, Javanese / Sumatranese and others and Chinese. The results of the study showed that public perception was classified as moderate (64%). Factors affecting the consumption of local food from corn are age, number of household members, ethnicity and cosmopolit level. In the future, the consumption of local food from corn still needs to be improved through promotion and advocacy as well as reforming various aspects, especially aspects of nutrition and health.
