| description | Rice is a vital commodity for Indonesian society and highly sensitive to price fluctuations. This study analyzes the trends and price disparity of Medium-1 and Super-1 quality rice in traditional markets of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Monthly data from January 2018 to December 2023 were analyzed using the Coefficient of Variation and simultaneous testing (F-test) within a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Results show that prior to the pandemic, Medium-1 rice prices were stable at around IDR 11,000/kg, decreasing to IDR 9,800/kg. During the pandemic, prices surged to IDR 15,000/kg by early 2023, likely due to increased demand from government social assistance programs, and remained high post-pandemic, reaching IDR 17,000/kg in Maumere. The highest price fluctuations occurred during the pandemic, with variations of 12.75% for Medium-1 and 11.89% for Super-1 in Maumere. The F-test indicates that the pandemic did not significantly affect price changes in Alok and Tier markets. |
