World food trade makes it challenging to control domestic food products due to the influence of international price trends. Various issues within the country, including production and distribution, lead to fluctuations in the prices of essential food items such as rice, soybeans, chicken meat, chili, and shallots. Local governments, including the City of Bogor, play a vital role in managing price fluctuations, especially through the coordination of regional, central, and monetary policies to ensure a stable supply of goods. Most food commodities experience price pressure during harvest seasons. Unfortunately, controlling food prices becomes difficult when domestic supply decreases. This study provides an overview of the patterns of food price changes, considering variations in production capacity, seasonality, increased demand, and other specific events. The analysis involves calculating the Month-to-Month (MoM) price trends and comparing the average price with the model price for each year. The results indicate that fluctuations in food prices are influenced by factors such as commodity supply, rising production input costs, increased demand for commodities, weather conditions at agricultural production sites, import restrictions, and international demand. By optimizing cost structures in price formation, it is possible to reduce depreciation costs and transaction costs for increased efficiency. One key policy to address rising food prices is expanding the functions of Perumda Pasar Pakuan Jaya to include market operations and the management of commodity stocks, enabling better control over food prices.

Japan stands as the largest importer of coconut shell charcoal products (HS 440290) globally, with a majority sourced from the ASEAN region. Despite being the foremost exporter of coconut shell charcoal, Indonesia faces fluctuating export values to the Japanese market. This variability indicates suboptimal exporting of Indonesian coconut shell charcoal due to raw material scarcity and unrealized export potential. This study aims to; (1) analyze the comparative competitiveness of coconut shell charcoal exports from ASEAN nations, including Indonesia, in the Japanese market from 2010 to 2021, (2) assess the competitiveness of coconut shell charcoal exports from ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, during the 2010-2021 period, (3) examine the potential for developing the Indonesian coconut shell charcoal export market compared to other ASEAN nations in Japan. The research employs the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), Export Product Dynamic (EPD), and X-Model analysis methods. RCA and RSCA analyses reveal Indonesia's comparative competitiveness in the Japanese market, alongside Laos and Malaysia. However, EPD and X-Model perspectives indicate Indonesian coconut shell charcoal is positioned behind Laos, the Philippines, and Vietnam, signifying lower market potential. The policy implication underscores Indonesia's export reliance on lower-quality coconut shell charcoal. To enhance export competitiveness, the Indonesian government might consider adopting strategies akin to Laos, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

The Sembalun district serves as a primary center for garlic production in Indonesia. Despite the high productivity of garlic, the area faces challenges related to unstable farm input prices and fluctuating selling prices.

Indonesia is one of the world's leading cinnamon producers, competing with Sri Lanka and Vietnam. The United States stands out as a key destination for cinnamon exports, experiencing a growth rate of 16.9%. While Indonesian cinnamon prices consistently increase, this growth doesn't align with export volumes. This study aims to analyze the competitiveness and potential of Indonesian cinnamon exports to the United States market. The research focuses on cinnamon commodities with HS code 090611 (Spices; cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume), neither crushed nor ground) during the period of 2016-2021. The study employs various methods, including the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method, Export Product Dynamics (EPD), Porter's Diamond, X-Model Potential Export Product, and Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The study results indicate that Indonesia possesses comparative and competitive advantages. However, an evaluation of Porter's Diamond analysis reveals challenges such as a lack of labor quality, limited export destinations, decreasing land for Indonesian cinnamon production, a shortage of advanced technology, and insufficient downstream industry activities. Indonesia remains optimistic in the market and shows a significant relationship with cinnamon prices, population size, and the value of the rupiah exchange rate in major export destination countries.
