Food security during the Covid-19 pandemic is a condition in which all Bajo households have access to food both physically and economically for all their family members so that they are not at risk of losing both access during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the household food security of the Bajo community in the West Muna Regency during the Covid 19 pandemic. This research was carried out in March-May 2020 in Latawe Village, Napano Kusambi District, West Muna Regency. The research location was selected purposively considering that the village is a coastal village where most of the population living is Bajo people who work as fishermen as many as 180 families. Many as 64 families determined the number of research samples using the Slovin formula and sampling using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using a descriptive method to measure the food security of Bajo households during the Covid 19 pandemic, which was estimated using the share of food spending where if the percentage of food spending was <60% of total spending, the household was food-secure and if the share of food spending was 60% of total expenditures, are households that are food insecure. The results show that 46.88% of Bajo households are food secure, and 53.12% are food insecure.
