Abstract

Until now, financing is still a problem for most farmers in developing country including    Indonesia, especially for high value commodity such as pepper. Pepper cultivation requires high investment cost due to the necessity of pepper to grow in a greenhouse equipped with drip irrigation installation. Most farmers today utilizes greenhouses with appropriate         technology. Even though favourable, the crop cannot reach optimal productivity. Meanwhile, Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute (Balitsa), cooperating with Wageningen University, has conducted a research to study a greenhouse design, optimal for Indonesian climate. However, the resulted greenhouse requires so high investment cost that most farmers cannot afford. Direct loan from banks is difficult to get because it requires guarantee and financing system, inappropriate with characteristics of farming. Due to that reason, it is necessary to have financing system that can help but does not burden farmers in its payment mechanism. This paper aims to analyze the financing system in supply chain management, capable to solve problems about financing access for small-scale business actor in order to apply a technology capable to increase productivity. This paper is written from the result of action research in Pasirlangu Village, Cisarua Subdistrict, West Bandung Regency. The result shows that the availability of partnerships between farmer groups/cooperation and exporters opens an opportunity for farmers to get loan from bank through guarantee from the exporters, with financing system regulated by exporters to fit the characteristic of pepper farming. The system also involves university as the facilitator.

Abstract

Small vegetables farmers are required to meet the demand of export markets in the aspect of quality, quantity, sustainability, food safety and competitive prices. Small vegetables farmers should increase the integrated capacity of technological, managerial and institutional in order to fulfill export marketdemand. Universitas Padjadjaran had action research program to helping small vegetables farmers to increase their capacities. The action research program included science and technology application for vegetables export which emphasized on protected agriculture and sprinkle irrigation system. The application of these technologies parallel with the assistance of exportmarket access used contract mechanisme, as well as acces to finance. The program had implemented for three years at Pangalengan, the Distric of Bandung, West Java. In the first year, the program focused on farmers collective system development, protected agriculture development using greenhouse and export market acces. The vegetables production planning improvement, further development of protected agriculture and acces to finance were implemented in the second year program. In the last year, the program applied protected agriculture using rain shelter, sprinkle irrigation system development, and acces to finance. This article discusses about how to understand causal relationship and complexity in the program of science and technology aplication in order to fulfill export market demand. Systemthinking with policy structure diagram (stock and flow diagram) had used to understand a structure of causal relationship among variables in the program to helping small vegetables farmers increase their agribusiness capacities.
