In order to control the inflation rate, on 2 September 2013 the government changed the import restriction policy, from quota based into price reference based as stated in a decree of the Director General of Domestic Trade No.118/PDN/KEP/10/2013.The price reference of shallot was counted at IDR 25,700/kg, and discounted at IDR 11,935/kg at the farmer level. The aim of this research is to determine the price reference of shallot import restriction that suit for protection of farmer profit of shallot farming. The method of analysis used in this research is Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM). The results shows that the implementation of price reference policy with the price at IDR 11,935/kg at farmer level has decreased the farmer protection and profitability for 46% and 233%, respectively.
