Policy Model of Production and Price of Rice in Kalimantan Selatan

AbstractKalimantan Selatan is one of the providers of rice in the region of Central Indonesia. Availability of rice needs to be managed properly in order to meet the needs of South Kalimantan and the surrounding area. Availability of rice means not only rice is available in the market but also the price factor needs to be considered that rice is available at an affordable price. The availability of rice affects regional stability, so that the government needs to design policies that can ensure the availability of rice at an affordable price. This study aimed to measure the impact of rice supply policy scenarios in Kalimantan Selatan in the perspective of affordability and availability of sufficient stocks of rice using system dynamics approach. Scenarios that developed are policies to support the portion of the budget to increase production of rice, guarantees the availability of spare rice policy and regional development policy of food diversification. Based on the simulation results, the budget policy scenarios on increased production should be maintained to ensure the number of stocks of rice, yet the scenario about production control, rice reserves, and food diversification have not been able to control the stability of the rice price in Kalimantan Selatan
