The purpose of this research is to analyze community perception in order to determine the development of Prima certified fruits in East Java. The sampling technique used quota sampling, with 5 people (25 percent), community leaders, 10 people (50 percent), and village heads or sub-district staff, as many as 5 people (25 percent), for a total of 20 respondents per research location.
