Type: article

Abstract: Indonesia faces food security issues, including availability, affordability and staple food prices. The condition of food security affects the ability of households to access and achieve food fulfillment. The study aimed to map the availability and affordability of staple food in Ogan Ilir District, South Sumatra-Indonesia. The staple food accessibility conditions map and Staple food affordability map were carried out through scoring analysis using the class interval method. The result of this study shows that domestic food capacity was in the unfavorable criteria. Food reserves are in the less good criteria. This condition indicates that households do not have staple food reserves at home. The score for supplying food from local sources is in the not good criteria. The food aid condition is not good because there is no food aid, received by the communities. The food logistics system is not in good criteria because the majority of households in the village do not have refrigerators, the people's purchasing power for staple food is good, but other additional food is still unable to be bought. The price of staple food shows a price increase that is quite frequent in rural areas where households have difficulties fulfilling staple food continuously. The household income level shows that when income decreases, they will reduce the amount of food purchased.
