Business actors often choose raw materials based on availability and price, without considering the total cost and quality of the product as a whole. This study aims to: (1) find out how the production process of skin crackers for fresh, gareman and dried raw materials; (2) find out the contribution of raw material types to production process costs; and (3) find out the differences in raw material types to production costs. The hypothesis of this study is that there are suspected significant differences in the production costs of skin crackers based on the type of raw materials used. The study was conducted in Tengah Tani District and the research period was from February to August 2025. The population of this study amounted to 16 business units, including 10 units using gareman raw materials, 3 units using fresh raw materials, and 3 units using dried raw materials. The research technique used a census technique so that the entire population was used as a sample and the data analysis technique used one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Test. The results of the study show that based on the selection of raw materials, more consideration is given to technical aspects. (2) The largest contribution to raw material costs is gareman raw materials. (3) Total production costs based on differences in raw materials show a difference, with further analysis showing that the production costs for dried rice are much lower than for salted and fresh rice, however for salted and fresh rice there is no statistically significant difference.
