dc.description.abstract | The impact affected by the covid–19 pandemic influences
various sectors in Indonesia, with no exception in agriculture sector.
However, the agriculture sector still becomes a sustaining sector for other
economic sectors because society's necessity is fulfilled by agriculture.
Shallot is one of seven important commodities as basic needs for
Indonesian and horticulture primadonna. Covid–19 pandemic presence
influences shallot marketing indirectly from farmer till modern market.
This research was conducted to analyze market efficiency of national
shallot before and after covid–19 pandemic breaking out in Indonesia and
used secondary data, which was approached through price data in farmers,
wholesalers, traditional markets, and modern markets. This research would
be analyzed using Ordinary Least Square approach on Ravallion Model.
The research result showed that national shallot market was inefficient in
the middle of a pandemic. Characteristic of shallot market was certainly
volatile and had fluctuated prices, but it was more volatile in the middle of
pandemic than before the pandemic broke out. It could be seen from
market connection index and variance value. One of causes that is
undeniable is distribution and information obstruction, which is caused by
pandemic breaking. Besides, Large Scale Social Restriction rule caused
shallot distribution disturbed. | en_US |
