Reasons for Fluctuating Food Prices
Nur Azizah Nasution in her writing in the Journal of Sharia and Law entitled ‘Factors Influencing the Increase in Food Prices by Traders from the Perspective of Islamic Economics’ details the reasons in the form of internal and external factors that cause fluctuations in food prices. Here are the details:
- Production (Internal)
The availability of essential food items greatly determines the price. Crop failure due to bad weather pushes up prices, while abundant supply lowers prices.
- Distribution (Internal)
Shipping costs to the market affect the selling price. The higher the distribution costs and fluctuations in food prices, the greater the price set by traders to obtain profits.
- Supply Source (Internal)
Limited number of suppliers causes scarcity and price increases. Conversely, a large number of suppliers tends to lower prices.
- Supply and Demand (External)
Prices rise when demand is greater than supply, and fall when supply is abundant but demand is low.
- Number of Competitors (External)
A lack of competition allows traders to freely raise prices. On the other hand, intense competition encourages lower prices to attract buyers.
That is a brief overview of Yogyakarta food prices today, Tuesday, 24 February 2026. It should be noted that prices found in the market may differ due to disparities.
