Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science (IOSR-JAVS) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 9
Abstract
Price which fluctuates is a major factor in price risk. Furthermore, higher price risk will have an impact on reducing farmer household welfare. This study aims to analyze the impact of price risk on household welfare of shallots farmers in Sigi district with a sample of 210 respondents. The results showed that the highest price expectation on medium land was Rp35,500 per kilogram and the lowest was in a narrow area of Rp34,000 per kilogram. The highest price risk occurs on large land (standard deviation of 6033.44) and the lowest is on medium land (standard deviation of 5697.23). A 5% price risk increase has the effect on reducing onion, non onion and non-farm farming income. Total household income and household expenditure decreased so that welfare decreased.
