| dc.description.abstract | The harvested area of ginger plants in Simalungun 
Regency, North Sumatra Province has increased significantly from 2019 to 2020. 
Of course this will affect the demand for and fluctuations in the price of ginger. The 
purpose of this study is to analyze how to forecast ginger production in 2022-2023
and to analyze the causality between ginger production and ginger prices. This 
research was conducted in Simalungun Regency which is a ginger production center 
in North Sumatra Province. The population in this study is production data and 
monthly ginger prices from 2019-2021, namely 36 months. The analytical method 
used is a scaled series analysis method or ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated 
Moving Average) using Eviews 12. The results of the study show that the best 
ARIMA model used for forecasting ginger production in Simalungun Regency, 
North Sumatra is model (1,1,0). Ginger production in Simalungun Regency has a 
positive trend, namely increasing with the highest forecasting results occurring in 
December 2023. The results of the Granger Causality Test show that the price
