Abstract

This study aims to analyze the elasticity of rice demand among poor households in Sirimau District, Ambon City. The main focus of this study is the influence of household income, number of family members, the price of Bulog rice, and the price of premium rice on rice consumption among poor households. The analytical method used involves linear regression to identify the relationships between these variables. The results of the study indicate that household income, number of family members, and the price of Bulog rice have a significant positive effect on rice consumption among poor households. Conversely, the price of premium rice does not show a significant effect on rice consumption in this household group. These findings suggest that Bulog rice pricing policies and increasing the income of poor households can be important factors in boosting their rice consumption. This research provides valuable insights for the formulation of more effective food policies to support the welfare of poor households in Sirimau District, Ambon City.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of curly chili prices, household income, and the number of household dependents on the demand for curly chilies in Ambon City using the multiple linear regression method. Primary data was collected through a survey of 300 households in Ambon City, with the dependent variable being the monthly purchase quantity of curly chilies, while the independent variables include the price of curly chilies, household income, and the number of dependents. The analysis results show that the price of curly chilies has a significant negative effect on demand, with an increase in price leading to a decrease in purchase quantity. Additionally, household income and the number of dependents also have a significant impact, where an increase in income and the number of dependents boosts demand. These results indicate the existence of complex interactions between these factors in shaping the demand for curly chilies in Ambon City, which need to be considered in policy planning and marketing strategies to maintain market stability and meet consumer needs.
