Abstract

One of the main sources of inflation is volatility in food prices. This study aims to analyze the effect of food commodity availability on volatile foods inflation in Nusa Tenggara Barat province. Food commodities analyzed in this study include chili, rice, and chicken meat. We use the linear regression model to analyze the relationship between volatile food inflation as the dependent variable and as the independent variable are the availability of rice, chili, and chicken meat. We define availability as a gap between supply and demand for certain commodities. The data used are time series data at the provincial level from 2009 to 2018, derived from strategic food statistics for food availability and from Bank Indonesia for inflation data. The results showed that none of the food commodities in this study significantly influence the volatile food inflation.
