Abstract

Methods of milkfish brackishwater pond cultivation consist of fry pond (for fry to fingerling rearing), milkfish brackishwater pond type 1 (designed for the cultivation of milkfish fingerlings to adult size) and milkfish brackishwater pond type 2 (for the cultivation of fry to adult or marketable size milkfish). Milkfish brackishwater pond cultivation is profitable, especially when the cultivation unit is larger. This account of milkfish brackishwater pond cultivators describes the details of expenses and yields of cultivating milkfish brackishwater pond as practiced by 4 (four) cultivators in “Sumbersari,” a coastal village in north Central Java.

Abstract

The establishment of the plywood factory in “Sumbersari” has changed the pattern of land use. As in many other north coast villages along the Java Sea, agricultural land can be divided into two major categories, namely tambak (brackishwater ponds used for aquaculture) and sawah (irrigated land used for wet-rice cultivation). Landholders may thus own tambak and/or sawah. Tambak can be further divided into tambak bandeng (milkfish brackishwater pond) and tambak udang bago (giant-tiger shrimp brackishwater pond). Both can be farmed alone or they can be combined, which is locally called tambak campuran (mixed brackishwater pond). Tambak bandeng are sometimes further differentiated from tambak ipukan (fry pond), a smaller type of tambak designed for nursing milkfish fry to fingerlings. Still another type of tambak, which is only a portion of an irrigation stream or canal where landless peasants trap fish and shrimp with a bamboo fence, locally called tambak kali (canal pond).

Abstract

Milkfish brackishwater pond (tambak bandeng) in “Sumbersari” can be divided into three types: (a) fry pond; (b) brackishwater pond type 1; and (c) brackishwater pond type 2. Milkfish brackishwater pond cultivation is profitable, especially when the area is large. The idea of cultivating giant tiger shrimp (udang bago) in the brackishwater pond by using a mixed (campuran) method appears to generate considerable additional income for those who practiced it.

Abstract

In “Sumbersari” there are three major types of productive work: rice farming , fish raising and factory work. The industrial estate which has been operating since the late 1970s has altered the pattern of employment, in part because the agricultural land previously used for rice fields and brackish water ponds has been converted to industrial use. Waves of migrants from other places have taken up residence in Sumbersari either on a temporary or a permanent basis. These migrants have contributed to population growth and comprise he bulk of work force in this village.

Abstract

Java is often seen as epitomizing a subsistence farming economy, but since the establishment of sugar factories in the first half of the nineteenth century Javanese villages have been familiar with the notion of factory work and factory workers. As a result of establishment of many large-scale factories in the 1970s, the industrial workforce in java has grown rapidly. These factories from part of the large-scale modern manufacturing and processing sector of the economy which is expected to absorb more manpower as the Indonesian economy is transformed with the enlargement of its industrial base. As a consequence of increasing population in rural Java, structural changes will continue: agriculture will continue to decline, while manufacturing, trade and services will have to play an increasingly important role in absorbing new entrants into the workforce. Limitations on employment in agriculture force people to join the manufacturing workforce : labour will be “pushed” into manufacturing, trade and service, rather than “pulled” out of agriculture (to use White’s description). In Sumberejo, the industrialized village under study, the implications of such a view can be seen in the context of absorption of new entrants into the plywood manufacturing workface. Based on a field research, it goes to the analysis of conditions of industrial worker in the rural village where the plywood factory has been established since the late 1970s. one indication is clear that an ongoing process of diversification of rural-farm occupational opportunities has been taking place; it is also obvious that there is a considerable decrease in rural farm occupational opportunities. Moreover, increasing pressure on land, both fragmentation through inheritance and alteration for industry, has forced a growing number of villages, particularly the younger and more educated but landless, to seek employment off the farm, which is in Sumberejo in the form of plywood manufacturing workforce. The field  survey and observation reveal that a considerable number of plywood factory worker, or their household members, in Sumberejo seek additional income for their households. Those who seek other incomes are not only they who earn a smaller income form the factory; some non-staff members of the factory with comparatively larger industrial income, and/or their wives and other household members, have additional incomes from non-industrial activities, such as farming and trading. Without additional incomes from other activities, many of them can hardly improve their modest lives.
