Second, the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic does not cause a significant increase or decrease in consumption, but the community continues to strive to meet these needs, regardless of the conditions and methods. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, total rice production decreased, but in early 2021 it had started to increase again. Production of rice stocks has spread everywhere in Indonesia which is equal to the sum of the rice harvested area and the total resulting from the productivity of the rice. Lastly, the government's policy during the COVID-19 pandemic was to tackle the existence of a rice monopoly or rice hoarding.
