Abstract:

Price uncertainty in food commodities can create uncertainty for farmers and potentially negatively impact the level of farmer household well-being. On the other hand, the agriculture sector in the province of East Java has greatly contributed to East Java's economy. This paper analyses the response of farmer welfare through farmer exchange values amidst fluctuation shock of food needed prices and inflation level in the east java province. The research method of this paper employs the impulse response function of the Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (BVAR) model by using time series secondary data from May 2017 until December 2023. This paper finds that the shock that happens to aggregate food prices can increase farmer exchange values even though the shock to the inflation level has reduced farmer exchange values and increased aggregate food prices.
