Abstract

Government restrictions in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on the food supply chain. This is found at every level of the food supply chain. At the supplier level (farmers), there is an accumulation of agricultural products. This is compounded for perishable food. At the manufacturing level (industry), there is a delay in the production process because food is difficult in the delivery process (transportation). This is compounded if the food material is imported. At the consumer level, price fluctuations occur because the supply of food is limited and panic buying behaviour. This article discusses the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the agribusiness industry in several countries. In Indonesia, the government enforces national food security to anticipate the global food crisis. This policy is carried out by utilizing local products to shorten the food supply chain.
