The study aims to analyze how road access has influenced agricultural production patterns and increased reliance on market-based commodities. Utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research methods, data were collected through field surveys, interviews, and secondary sources. The findings reveal a significant shift in agricultural practices and market dependency, with an increased purchase of rice, maize, and wheat following improved road connectivity. The study critiques modernization and globalization theories while supporting dependency theory, highlighting the transformative role of infrastructure in rural societies.
