Abstract

One of the impacts of the lockdown policy due to COVID-19 has caused decreased growth of the agricultural sector in Indonesia. The availability of garlic, 95% imported from China, India, United States of America, Malaysia, Switzerland, Germany, dan Australia, while 5% is produced in Indonesia, declines persistently. The objective of this study was to analyze factors affecting the availability of garlic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mix-method was used to illustrate the phenomena through analyzing secondary data and semi-structured interviews with key informants in the regencies of Karanganyar, Tegal, and Temanggung, Central Java Province. The snowball sampling method was used to identify informants chosen based on cultivation experiences and post-harvest handling. The results showed that local varieties of garlic had been preferred by other countries for medication ingredient due to its strong aroma and spicy taste, although its price is relatively competitive. On the other hand, most households in Indonesia preferred imported garlic for cooking because of its large size. Consequently, improved quality for local garlic should be continually improved to increase both quantity and quality. To keep efforts sustainable, farmers should always be assisted in empowering their potential.
