Abstract
Tuna production potential of Palabuhan Ratu, Sukabumi District, is very high but the fishery is not supported by a good supply chain. In this location, there are two existing chains namely fresh and derivative-product chains; both are influenced significantly by seasonal variables. This research is aimed at identifying factors that influence tuna supply and demand situation, analyzing supply chain, and proposing an alternative chain. Data for this research comprises both primary and secondary ones. Primary data were collected through interviews with 20 respondents representing fishers, 10 representing wholesellers, 10 representing retailers, 10 representing consumers, all of wich were drawn from following the snowball sampling technique. Meanwhile, secondary data were time series tuna production statistics made available from the printed report of the Sukabumi District Fishery Office. This research employed the factor analysis and fisheries supply chain management model as the main methodological tools. The result shows that among others, the most influential factors for tuna demand in the study location are price of fish, tuna product diversity, and distribution of tuna catch. On the other hand, in the suppy side the most influential factors are fishing season and tuna species. It as identified from the research that with regard to the existing chains, this research identified that there are varians of both the fresh fish and derivative product chains, each of which have some particular drawbacks related to influentional factors observed in the other part of this research. It is worth noting here that varians of the fresh tuna chain are: (i) fishers, auction place, wholeseller, retailer, consumer, (ii) fishers, auction place, consumer, (iii) fishers, consumer. Varians of the derivative-product chain are: (i) fishers, auction place, wholeseller, processors, processed fish wholesellers, processed fish retailers, consumers, (ii) fishers, auction place, processors, processed fish wholesellers, processed fish retailers, consumers, (iii) fishers, auction place, processors, processed fish retailers, consumers. In general, this research suggest in any chain, improvement should be made through integrative approach to incorporate tools necessary to mitigate negative influential factors and to take advantage the positive ones.
