Government protection policies in agricultural sector, inflation and productivity influence on food security. In this paper, food security of urban household is investigated applying AHFSI (Aggregate Household Food Security Index) to expenditure-income urban households’ data during 1983 to 2006. Support volume in agricultural sector is calculated by AMS (Aggregate Measurement of Support) for inputs and price protections separately. Effects of agricultural protections policies on food security arrangement are investigated by vector error correction model (VECM). Result indicated that both of protections in agricultural sector in short-run, and price protection in long-run, have negative effects on urban household food security. Input protection in long-run has positive effect on urban household food security.
