Abstract: This study aims to determine the factors of the agricultural sector and its impact to food prices to preserve households’ purchasing power through ensuring food security. High food prices are a result of a lack of an efficient agri-food system, legislative barriers, and institutional challenges in governance and policy. And this is intricately linked with food security and poverty alleviation. The most economically vulnerable households allocate approximately 60 percent of their total income to food expenditures; any price hikes in this regard will further strain their already tight budgets. Escalating food prices can result in malnutrition and related socio-economic issues.
