Supply Chain Performance Analysis of Catfish Farmers in Kediri Case Study on Fish Hatchery

Abstract

English

This study aims to analyze the supply chain system in catfish farming in Kediri, focusing on three main aspects: the flow of goods, financial flow, and information flow. It also aims to identify the actors involved in the supply chain and determine the appropriate supply chain model. This research was conducted from March to July 2025 among four catfish farmers in Kediri city and regency. The method used is a case study approach with interviews with four business actors consisting of catfish breeders and growers. The data analysis used exploratory descriptive analysis, explaining the actors involved in the supply chain, the flow of goods, the flow of money, and the flow of information in the form of graphs, tables, and figures. The results show that the flow of goods is dominated by an informal distribution network through middlemen, with distribution patterns varying between business actors depending on the type of business. With minimal intervention from the credit system and a high degree of trust between actors, financial flow occurs easily through cash and transfer channels. Without written contracts, information is communicated directly between people, making it less formal yet more flexible. The resulting supply chain model is a trust-based supply chain in which players cooperation is primarily driven by their social relationships. In order to increase the effectiveness, sustainability, and transparency of the supply chain for catfish farming in Kediri, this study suggests that institutional assistance and technology integration are necessary.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sistem rantai pasok pada usaha budidaya ikan lele di Kediri dengan fokus pada tiga aspek utama, yaitu aliran barang, aliran finansial, dan aliran informasi. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pelaku yang terlibat dalam rantai pasok serta mengetahui model rantai pasok yang sesuai. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan studi kasus dengan teknik wawancara pada empat pelaku usaha yang terdiri dari pembenih dan pembesar lele. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aliran barang didominasi oleh jaringan distribusi informal melalui tengkulak, dengan pola distribusi yang bervariasi antar pelaku usaha bergantung pada jenis usaha. Aliran finansial berjalan lancar melalui sistem tunai dan transfer, dengan tingkat kepercayaan yang tinggi antar pelaku dan minim keterlibatan sistem utang piutang. Aliran informasi berlangsung secara langsung melalui komunikasi pribadi tanpa kontrak tertulis, yang menjadikan fleksibel namun kurang formal. Model rantai pasok yang terbentuk merupakan rantai pasok berbasis kepercayaan trust based supply chain, di mana hubungan sosial menjadi penggerak utama koordinasi antar pelaku. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya dukungan kelembagaan dan integrasi teknologi untuk meningkatkan efisiensi, transparansi, dan keberlanjutan rantai pasok budidaya ikan lele di Kediri.
