In Indonesia, the price of shallots has significantly increased, with some areas reporting prices up to IDR 84,980 per kg. This price hike is primarily due to a decrease in the number of traders active around the 2024 Eid holiday, leading to a supply shortage in the retail market as demand surges post-Eid. The National Food Agency (Bapanas) has identified that farmers delaying their harvest in anticipation of demand normalization is further straining the supply, causing a notable spike in prices. Although the national average price shows minor fluctuations, the general trend points to a substantial increase from the previous week.
