Abstract

The prices of strategic food commodities, namely rice, red chili, chicken, beef, shallots, eggs, sugar, and cooking oil, are monitored to measure Indonesia's inflation in the food category. This study intended to explore the chili agrosystems as an essential Indonesian daily cuisine due to its perishable nature and its variably supply chain. The state-of-the-art approach from various research databases was used and supplemented with secondary data gathered from the related enterprise. The study revealed that food strategic web-based information systems on production, consumption, and price are under different authorities. Concerning the chili case, even though there was a production surplus, price fluctuation increasing the risk of lowering motivation to plant. The number of actors involved itemizes eight chili's supply chain main patterns. In conclusion, chili trade and freight margins favoured supply chain actors but not the farmer itself. The welfare of the farmers is not good condition. It is characterized by proxy indicators, the majority of which are only slightly more than 100. The situation creates a new risk of decreasing motivation in farming. Further study using manageable chili enterprise systems is required to bring farmers closer to end consumers and improve their welfare.

Summary

Introduction

Chili is considered a perishable plant that will only be fresh for about 1-2 weeks and, after that, will deteriorate. The study of Barusman et al (2019) states that the chili supply chain is still quite long and has not been optimized, including empowering the Village Owned Enterprises (called Bumdes) and the Indonesian Farmers Shop (called TTI). These have become one of the triggers for rising chili prices. That is by specifying specific information on the chili agrosystem application practices It indicates the measurement application approaches use by the chili supply chain actors. Studies related to fresh produce supply chains, including chili, have been conducted by many researchers. Most chili supply chain actors face several obstacles: losses, reduction of products, and inefficiencies in delivery time (Perdana et al 2018)
