Abstract

Rice consumers in Indonesia exhibit wide preference variability and consumption patterns, largely because of the archipelagic nature of the country. Nowadays, the consumers become more discriminating on the rice quality due to the higher incomes and better life. Consumers are willing to pay higher price for specific quality. The objective of the study was to analyze relationship between price and grades of rice and consumer preference. The study was based on survey conducted from April 2004 to March 2005 at three-rice market centers representing a village market(Pasar Inpres) in Subang, district capital market (Pasar Johar) in Karawang, and rice center market (Pasar Induk Cipinang) in Jakarta, respectively. Parameters evaluated were changes in the quality and price of rice over time. The quality of the rice at each market was sampled monthly from two traders consisting three samples each. The rice quality was graded using existing local standar, i.e. grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3, and the price of each grade was recorded. The physical qualities of the rice samples such as moisture content, grain dimensions, percentage of whole kernels, grain color, and impurities/dockage (foreign matters, unhulled grains, and milled rice) were determined by ISO 950:1979 (for cereals-sampling as grain). Whereas the chemical qualities such as amylose and gelatinization were analyzed using Rapid Visco Analisis. The study showed that rice quality varied, most of them were long and slender kernels, chalkiness ranged between 10-20% (scale 5), and head ricearound 69-84%. The amylose content was intermediate (20-21%), the gelatinization temperature was high-intermediate (70-74oC), and the gel consistency was soft (65-70). The quality incentive, defined as the  additional return assuming the quality level can be raised from grade 3 to grade 1, was up to Rp700 kg-1 (~25%). The price difference among markets could reach Rp630 kg-1 (~22%). The study indicated that rice color was the important parameter determining consumers’ preference,and consequently ditermining price difference. The correlation between the rice price and its grade was significant (R= 0.95).

Abstract

Permintaan distribusi beras yang tidak beraturan dan tidak dapat diprediksi menjadi unsur ketidakpastian pada rantai pasokan beras untuk Program Raskin. Hal ini menyebabkan beberapa wilayah kerja BULOG tidak dapat menentukan kebutuhan pasokan secara pasti di setiap bulannya, salah satunya adalah Subdivre Cianjur. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membuat perkiraan kebutuhan pasokan pada kondisi ketidakpastian permintaan distribusi menggunakan pendekatan metode simulasi Monte Carlo. Hasil simulasi membuktikanbahwa semakin terlambat waktu dalam penerbitan SPA Raskin Kabupaten/Kota dan semakin besar jumlah tunggakan dalam pembayaran HP-Raskin cenderung akan meningkatkan ketidakpastian penyediaan dan semakin besar jumlah pasokan. Kondisi ketidakpastian permintaan distribusi terendah membutuhkan pasokan minimal sebesar 194.308 ton per tahun, sedangkan kondisi ketidakpastian permintaan distribusi tertinggi membutuhkan pasokan sebesar 319.025 ton per tahun atau sebesar 1,6 kali dari rencana Pagu Raskin Kabupaten/Kota tahun 2012.Demand distribution ofrice for Raskin Program is irregularand unpredictable and it causes uncertainty to rice supply chain for Raskin Program. This obstacle make some BULOG regional areas cannot determine the adequate amount of rice to meet the distribution need every month. One of this area is Subdivre Cianjur. This research is aimed to estimate rice supply need under the uncertainty demand condition using Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation results prove that the late time of the issuance of SPA Raskin and the greater the amount ofpayment arrears of the HP-Raskin tend to increase the amount of rice supply needs. Estimated minimum supply is 194.308 tons per year, while the amount of stock required is 319.025 tons per year, or 1,6 times the plan of Pagu Raskin in 2012 that is needed to anticipate uncertainty at rice supply chain for Raskin Program.

Abstract

Dalam upaya penanggulangan masalah gangguan akibat kekurangan Iodium (GAKI), peningkatan mutu gizi beras merupakan salah satu terobosan yang dapat ditempuh terutama untuk memperbaiki mutu gizi masyarakat di daerah endemik Iodium. Penerapan teknologi fortifikasi Iodium pada beras sangat prospektif untuk dikembangkan, karena beras merupakan bahan pangan pokok yang dikonsumsi lebih dari 90% penduduk Indonesia. Teknologi fortifikasi Iodium pada beras dilakukan dengan prinsip memanfaatkan sifat Iodium yang mudah terikat dengan amilosa sebagai unsur utama beras. Iodium sebagai fortifikan dalam bentuk larutan dengan penambahan bahan pengikat dikabutkan dengan alat pengkabut yang digandengkan pada alat penyosoh beras. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa fortifikasi Iodium pada beras dengan menggunakan bahan pengikat dextrose dan sodium bikarbonat tidak berpengaruh terhadap kualitas beras. Hasil uji organoleptik menunjukan bahwa fortifikasi iodium sebesar 1 ppm pada beras menunjukkan bahwa rasa nasi dari beras dengan fortifikan iodit maupun iodat tanpa pengikat tidak berbeda nyata dengan kontrol dan disukai •60% konsumen (responden). Sedangkan dari segi aroma tidak berbeda nyata dengan kontrol dan menunjukkan penampilan permukaan terlihat bersih dan cemerlang. Dari mutu fisik beras, pada umumnya beras beriodium dapat diklasifikasikan pada standar mutu II karena beras kepala diatas 80% dan beras patah paling tinggi 19,41%.In an effort to overcome problems Iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), increased nutrient quality of rice is one of the breakthroughs that can be achieved primarily to improve the nutritive quality of the community in areas of endemic iodine. Iodine fortification technology implementation on highly prospective for development of rice, because rice is the staple food consumed by more than 90% of Indonesian population. Iodine fortification of rice technology by utilizing the principle of the easy nature of iodine bound with amylose as the main element in rice. Iodine as fortifikan in the form of a solution with the addition of a binder in mist sprayer which coupled with the tool on the tool penyosoh rice. The results showed that iodine fortification in rice by using a binder dextrose and sodium bicarbonate did not affect the quality of rice. The organoleptic test showed that iodine fortification of 1 ppm in rice showed that the rice with iodate fortificant iodid or without a binder is not significantly different from the control and preferred •'3d 60% of consumers (respondents). In terms of flavor not significantly different from the control and shows the surface appearance looks clean and bright. From the physical quality of rice, generally can be classified on the quality standard II for over 80% head rice yield and broken rice the highest 19.41%.

Abstract

Penggilingan padi merupakan titik sentral dari agroindustri padi. Penggilingan padi yang berkembang saat ini tidak dirancang dengan pendekatan sistem agribisnis yang terpadu tetapi dengan teknologi penggilingan padi yang masih sederhana. Lebih dari itu, peralatan penggilingan sudah berumur tua (lebih dari 15 tahun) menyebabkan mutu dan rendemen beras yang diperoleh juga rendah. Untuk meningkatkan mutu dan rendemen beras diperlukan upaya perbaikan kinerja penggilingan padi dengan meningkatkan penggunaan kapasitas terpasang, mengurangi biaya, meningkatkan nilai tambah produk yang memberi dampak positif pada usaha jasa penggilingan padi dan petani padi serta memantapkan kelembagaannya. Untuk mencapai ini perlu strategi usaha penggilingan padi secara terpadu atau terintegrasi yaitu beras menjadi bentuk keuntungan dan pendapatan dari hasil samping serta limbah yang terolah minimal dapat menutup biaya operasional proses produksi. Penerapan sistem manajemen mutu pada penggilingan padi berguna untuk menjaga konsistensi produksi, kualitas dan efisiensi proses penggilingan beras. Untuk membangun sistem penggilingan padi terpadu diperlukan fasilitas yang memadai untuk memproduksi beras berkualitas dan mengolah hasil samping menjadi produk bernilai komersial. Kelengkapan fasilitas untuk penggilingan padi terpadu dapat dikelompokkan sesuai skala usaha untuk memproduksi beras premiun, hasil samping berupa tepung beras, produk bihun, pakan ternak, dan briket arang sekam.kata kunci : padi, model penggilingan padi terpadu, nilai tambahRice milling is the central point of the rice agro-industry. At present, rice milling has been operated by simple and old-age equipment, so that the yield is relatively low. To improve the yield and quality, concerted efforts are needed by improving the utilization of existing capacity, reducing costs, increasing value-added products that makes a positive impact on the benefit of the business and rice farmers, as well as strengthening the business institution. To achieve this necessary business strategy, an integrated rice milling should produce milled rice as the form of profits, while the revenue from the by product is capable of covering the costs of processing. Implementation of quality and management system in rice mills is needed to maintain production consistency especially in quality as well as cost and process efficiency. To establish an integrated rice milling system, it is necessary to improve facilities to produce high quality rice and process by product into valuable commercial products. Complete facilities for integrated rice milling may be grouped according to the scale of business to produce premium quality rice, rice flour, vermicelli, charcoal products, feed, charcoal briquettes.keywords : paddy, milled rice, integrated rice milling, value added

Abstract

Komoditas sumber karbohidrat non-serealia, seperti aneka umbi dan buah khususnya sukun, dalam bentuk segar umumnya mudah rusak karena tingginya kadar air (60-80 persen). Upaya penggalian sumberdaya pangan lokal untuk meningkatkan ketersediaan dan ketahanan pangan dan mengubah citra inferior menjadi superior dapat dilakukan dengan proses pengolahan produk setengah jadi, diantaranya menjadi tepung. Balai Besar Litbang Pascapanen Pertanian telah berhasil mengembangkan teknologi proses produksi tepung sukun dengan palatabilitas tinggi. Inovasi teknologi tepung sukun tersebut telah diimplementasikan dalam suatu model kelembagaan melalui kerjasama dengan Dinas Pertanian dan Peternakan Kabupaten Cilacap dan telah menunjukkan peningkatan nilai tambah khususnya dari segi ekonomi. Berdasarkan perhitungan B/C rasio, disimpulkan bahwa pada usaha skala 100 kg sukun segar dengan harga Rp 650/kg, maka harga jual tepung sukun Rp 12.000/kg. Sedangkan untuk skala usaha 1.000 kg sukun segar, dengan harga Rp 1.000/kg dan harga jual tepungnya Rp 10.000/kg. Harga tersebut dapat memberikan keuntungan pada petani. Nilai tambah ekonomi yang diperoleh dari usaha dengan model kelembagaan yang diintroduksikan lebih tinggi (Rp 1.811/kg), dibandingkan dengan model usaha skala petani yang ada yaitu sebesar Rp 1.233/kg.In general, non-cereals-based carbohydrates such as tubers and fruits, especially breadfruit as local food bio-resources, are perishable at high moisture content (60 - 80 percent). The effort in exploring and processing the commodities to produce flouras intermediate products will support the food availability and food security, and also improve the commodities image from inferior to the superior ones. The Indonesian Center forAgricultural Postharvest Research and Development (ICAPRD) has developed the production technology of highpalatability breadfruit's flour. This innovation has been implemented in a household level business model at farmerlevel through a collaborative work program on product development with the agricultural and animal husbandry extension service of Cilacap District, Central Java, and this resulted in lifting up the economic added value. Based on B/C ratio analyses, it is concluded that the feasible business at 100 kg of rawbreadfruit with Rp 650/kg, the flour's price is Rp 12,000/kg. While at 1,000 kg, the flour's prices is Rp 10,000/kg. The added valueof breadfruit's flour business at an introduced institutional model is higher (Rp 1,8117kg) than the existing farmer's business scale (Rp 1,233/kg).

Abstract

Penerapan Model Agroindustri Padi berbasis klaster bertujuan untuk menghasilkan beras berkualitas dalam skala besar secara kontinyu. Selama ini kualitas beras yang ada di pasaran sangat beragam, dan secara kuantitatif jumlah beras yang berkualitas masih terbatas, terutama di luar Jawa. Hal ini disebabkan beras yang ada di pasaran disuplai oleh penggilingan skala kecil, menengah dan besar yang beragam kualitasnya, serta adanya manipulasi mutu beras di tingkat penggilingan padi dan pedagang beras. Model agroindustri berbasis klaster dimaksudkan adanya kerjasama antara penggilingan padi skala kecil dan menengah (sebagai klaster) dengan penggilingan padi skala besar (sebagai inti). Pada tahap awal kerjasama difokuskan pada aspek prosesing karena teknologi penggilingan padi skala kecil menengah masih terbatas. Pola kerjasama ini akan menghasilkan beras berkualitas sedang, kemudian diproses lagi oleh penggilingan padi skala besar agar menghasilkan beras berkualitas. Pada tahap selanjutnya, bila penggilingan padi skala kecil-menengah telah mampu menghasilkan beras berkualitas, kerjasama dengan penggilingan padi skala besar dilanjutkan pada aspek pemasaran beras. Kajian penerapan model agroindustri padi berbasis klaster dilakukan di Sulawesi Selatan dan non Klaster di Sulawesi Tenggara. Hasil penerapan model penggilingan padi berbasis klaster pada tahap awal perbaikan teknologi penggilingan padi dapat menghasilkan beras berkualitas premium dalam skala besar.The application of Rice Agroindustry Models-based clusters to produce the quality rice in a large-scale continuously. Rice quality on the market are very diverse, and the quantitative amount of quality rice is still limited, especially outside Java. This is due to the existing of rice in the market is supplied by small-scale, medium and large that produced various quality of rice, as well as the manipulation of the quality rice in rice milling and rice traders. Rice Agroindustry Models-based clusters meant the cooperation between small-scale rice mills and medium (as a cluster) with a large-scale rice milling (the core). In the early stages of cooperation, it is focused on technological aspects of rice processing for small and medium scale rice milling to produce resulting the medium quality rice, then re-processed by the large-scale rice milling that produce the high quality rice. At a later stage, when small-scale rice milling have been able to produce high quality rice, the cooperation with large-scale rice milling is expanded in the rice marketing aspects. Study of the Rice Agroindustry Models-based clusters performed in South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi for non cluster. The results of the application the Rice Agroindustry Models-based clusters in the early stages show that improvement of rice milling technology can produce premium quality rice on a large scale.
