Purpose Using cross-sectional household survey data, this paper aims to determine the impact of food price increases on poverty in Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses the quadratic almost ideal demand system applied to the 2013 Indonesian household survey data. The impact of food price increase on household welfare is calculated using a welfare measure, compensating variation. Findings Three food groups with the most outstanding price impact on poverty are rice, vegetables and fish were studied. The 20% increase in the price of each food group causes an increase in the headcount ratio by 1.360 points (rice), 0.737 points (vegetables) and 0.636 points (fish). Maintaining food price stability for these food groups is very important because the more price increases, the more impact on poverty. Food price policies in rural areas are also more critical than in urban areas because the impact of food price increases in rural areas is higher. Research limitations/implications This paper does not consider the positive impact of rising food prices on food-producing households. Practical implications Implementing appropriate poverty alleviation policies through food policies for main food groups and social protection. Social implications Promoting rural development policies and agricultural growth. Originality/value This paper contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical results regarding the impact of domestic food prices increase on poverty in Indonesia.
