The challenge of Gapoktan tomato still
depends on the infrastructure and it is approved by the
network built by the government. The focus of the
study is to find answers from tomato farmers about
water and electricity infrastructure problems during
the Covid-19 pandemic. We use social-based
qualitative consultations with farmers who are
members of Gapoktan tomatoes in Indonesia. Samples
from this studio totaled 72 units of informants
consisting of 12 questions. The question items are
grouped into 2 indicators (social and economic). The
conclusion of the study was revealed if answering
informants was indeed very varied. At present, there
has not been a significant problem with the two
indicators discussed in the estimation of water and
electricity infrastructure. Therefore, the electricity and
water supply in the agricultural area is minimal; bias
can lead to new problems such as social conflicts and
income from farmers decreased due to Covid-19. This
survey can be a reference and consideration for
various parties related to the management of tomato
cultivation in Indonesia
