This study aims to determine the factors that influence the food security of farmer households in the Papua border region. Twelve factors used in this study are maternal education, number of family members, price of rice, price of sweet potatoes, prices of cooking oil, prices of instant noodles, income, area of arable land, distance of buying food, share of food expenditure, reception of the rice for poor families ( raskin ), and farmer status (either local or transmigrant). This research uses primary data from direct interviews by asking a list of questions to farmer households in Jayapura City and Keerom District. The samples are randomly selected, and the total respondents are 160 farmer households, then the data analyzed by Ordinal Logit Regression . The results show that most of the household farmers classified as the food secure condition. Partially the number of family members, cultivated land area, the share of food expenditure and the price of sweet potato/cassava have a significant effect the probability of the occurrence of food security for farmer households significant at the 5% level of error, while dummy raskin significant at an error rate of 10%. The cultivated land area and dummy raskin have a positive effect on the food security of farmer households, while the number of family members, the price of sweet potato/cassava, and the share of food expenditure have a negative effect on farm household food security.
