UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 President Prabowo Subianto recently urged the public to grow chili at home as a strategy to help stabilize chili prices. The suggestion has stirred public discussion. Dr. Tri Haryanto, an agricultural economics lecturer at Universitas Airlangga\u2019s<\/a> Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB UNAIR), offered his perspective. He explained that small-scale, household farming is not a new concept, having been widely recognized through terms such as \u201chome farming\u201d and \u201curban farming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Understanding market dynamics<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Haryanto provided an estimate that if each Indonesian household grew five chili plants in polybags, homegrown chili output could reach approximately 375,000 tons. This would account for about 26\u201327% of the country\u2019s total chili production and could satisfy nearly half of the population\u2019s direct consumption needs.<\/p>\n

In an ideal scenario, this indicates that household farming could make a tangible contribution to food security, particularly for horticultural crops like chili. However, Dr. Haryanto cautioned that real-world implementation may not yield results exactly as predicted.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOn one hand, household consumption may decrease as families meet their own needs. On the other, there could be a supply surplus if the extra homegrown produce enters the market. Assuming demand from the hospitality, restaurant, caf\u00e9 sector, food stalls, and industries remains steady, as does supply from conventional farmers, the result\u2014according to economic theory\u2014would likely be a drop in prices,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n

Short and long-term implications<\/h5>\n\n

Dr. Haryanto pointed out that in the short term, agricultural oversupply can lead to lower market prices and reduced income for farmers. In the long term, however, other factors such as technology adoption could significantly influence outcomes. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cOver time, farmers may adopt improved cultivation techniques that increase supply more rapidly than demand, potentially creating surpluses. Market laws suggest this would drive prices down. However, with enhanced storage technologies, these surpluses could be stockpiled, thus helping to maintain price stability,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

Effective strategies for price stability<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

To safeguard price stability, Dr. Haryanto recommended setting standard purchase and selling prices to protect both producers and consumers. \u201cIn the long run, improving supply is key to stable pricing. This can be supported by increasing chili productivity through the provision of essential agricultural inputs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n

He concluded by suggesting the government introduce crop failure insurance programs, such as the Chili Crop Insurance Scheme (AUTC), modeled after rice crop insurance. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of road infrastructure, noting that chilies must be transported quickly after harvest to avoid spoilage.<\/p>\n\n
