Abstract
Curly red chili is one of the contributors to inflation because the price of curly red chili fluctuates and is influenced by the season. Fluctuations in chili prices will result in economic instability and increased inflation which will lead to a decrease in people's ability to meet their daily needs, thereby increasing poverty. This research was conducted in Bengkulu City because red chili production continues to decline due to the conversion of agricultural land into housing. The data used is time series data on the price of curly red chili at the retailer level per day in March 2021 – May 2025 which was converted into monthly data by averaging. This data was obtained from the National Food Agency. Judging from the pattern of chili price developments in August - November 2025, there was an increase in prices, while in August - November 2024 there was a decrease. At the end of 2024, prices are expected to fall due to good weather conditions so that the harvest of curly red chili can be maximized. Meanwhile, at the end of 2025, prices will increase due to weather conditions that will enter the rainy season.
