The supply chain is a scapegoat for the fluctuation price of beef. This research was intended to find out whether the supply chain triggers the main increase of beef prices as assumed by various parties. This qualitative descriptive study found that there were three supply chain pathways with the shortest chain that was a producer to consumer. The longest chain were suppliers, producers, consumers, and two intermediaries (blantik and retailer). Long and short of supply chain did not impact on selling prices to consumers and only affected the number of producer profits. Fluctuations in beef prices should not be based on the supply chain because the supply chain is a bridge at the limitations of the parties in the supply chain. There are other determinants that can be the focus of solutions for controlling beef prices.
