Abstract

In order to stabilize the supply and price of shallots in Indonesia, a production development program was held outside Java. Pontianak City is one of the areas for the development of shallot production in West Kalimantan. The level of demand for Pontianak City increases every year. This indicates an increase in consumption per capita. The problem of shallots in Pontianak is the high price fluctuations. This does not only occur at the consumer level, but also at the producer level. The method used was descriptive qualitative to analyze the shallot supply chain with framework FSCN, while descriptive quantitative for measuring supply chain performance with an operational efficiency and price efficiency. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling and snowball sampling. The results showed that shallots already have a clear target market and the chain structure consists of 2 marketing channels. Supply chain actors consist of farmers, collectors, distributors, agents and retailers. The contractual agreements that occur are informal and the relationship between the actors is well structured. Supply chain performance shows marketing channels 1 and 2 have not been efficient and prices have not been transmitted properly.
