The research focuses on livestock products that currently excites the community, intended for role models of agricultural food products as perishable food and susceptible to an unbalanced market. So that, the decline in purchasing power of the consumers is imbalanced with availability and vice versa. The selected products are mozzarella cheese and honey. The research used an interview survey method with producers and consumers. Data analysis used game theory to design a model that conforms to the condition of the business. Results of the research showed that hybrid model of MSMEs for mozzarella and honey (livestock products which are hype during a pandemic) has the optimization of strategy to bring more adaptive business into reality by improvising strategy of popularity for mozzarella product of brand X and improvisation from an advocacy perspective for a honey product of MSMEs brand X.
