Interpolation of beef price in Malang City during Eid Al-Adha 2017

Abstract

The large demand for cows during Eid Al-Adha was likely to affect the beef prices. The current research aimed to create an interpolation of beef prices in Eid Al-Adha so that the researchers could predict the range of beef prices in Malang city (Malang and Batu cities as well as Malang districts), East Java, Indonesia. The results of this study suggested that the range of beef prices in Malang city was relatively stable between IDR 105,000 and IDR 115,000. The results also showed that the government had successfully maintained the price. However, the government needed to pay more attention to Batu city since it was found that the price in that area was higher than any other areas in Malang.
