<![CDATA[Central Java's economy grew 4.98% in 2023 with the trade sector as the main driver, including the broiler chicken meat commodity whose production increased from 621,718.06 tons (2021) to 791,997.10 tons (2023). However, the price of this commodity experiences considerable fluctuations, mainly influenced by external factors such as increased demand during the national holiday period and the price of substitute products such as chicken eggs and beef that can affect the purchasing power of broiler chicken meat. Data on chicken meat prices, chicken egg prices, and beef prices were obtained from the official website of PIHPS (Strategic Food Price Information Center), while data for the week before the holiday was obtained using the Python library “holidays”. This research develops a Hybrid ARIMAX-LSTM model to predict chicken meat prices more accurately. The ARIMAX model is used to capture the linear pattern of chicken egg prices by considering external variables (egg prices, beef, and national holidays), while the LSTM captures non-linear residual patterns that cannot be explained by the ARIMAX model. The results show that the Hybrid model produces a MAPE of 1.19%, which is more accurate than the single ARIMAX (MAPE 1.38%). The predicted January 2025 price ranges from IDR 35,300 - IDR 35,900/kg, showing stability without extreme fluctuations. This research provides a predictive solution that can be used by the government and businesses in price control and market stabilization.]]>
