<![CDATA[Purpose: to analyze cayenne pepper price volatility, market integration and price transmission, and marketing efficiency, and to examine their implications for farmer income risk in Gorontalo Province's cayenne pepper agribusiness. Method: this study used a narrative literature review of scientific publications and analyzed them thematically around price volatility, market integration, marketing efficiency, farmer income risk, and agribusiness development. Findings: cayenne pepper prices in Gorontalo are highly volatile, while marketing efficiency varies across supply-chain actors. Although markets are relatively integrated, price transmission is not always complete or symmetrical. These conditions increase farmers' exposure to price, production, and marketing risks, potentially resulting in unstable farm income. Implications: Gorontalo's cayenne pepper agribusiness requires integrated policies focusing on price stabilization, transparent market information, stronger farmer institutions, efficient marketing channels, and improved post-harvest management to reduce farmer income risk and strengthen agribusiness resilience. Originality: lies in integrating price volatility, market integration, marketing efficiency, and farmer income risk into a single analytical framework for the cayenne pepper agribusiness in Gorontalo Province.]]>
