Konjac Market Restraints

Konjac farmers in Indonesia face a significant decline in selling prices as a result of export limitations to China, leading to an oversupply and reduced bargaining power. Dependency on middlemen persists because of inadequate transportation and harvesting infrastructure. Research conducted in Pangandaran and Purworejo Regency compared various factors affecting prices, such as farmers' expertise, altitude, processed variations, storage duration, and educational background. Awareness of export bans leads to selling at lower prices, as compliance with cultivation and post-harvest protocols remains a challenge.
