<![CDATA[Cocoa is one of Indonesia’s leading plantation commodities and contributes substantially to the national economy. However, along its supply chain from cultivation to trade, cocoa frequently experiences Food Loss that reduces quality, lowers farmers’ income, and creates logistical inefficiencies. This study identifies the causes of Food Loss risk in the cocoa supply chain in South Sulawesi using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and determines appropriate mitigation strategies using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data were collected from farmers, collectors, and traders through interviews and questionnaires. FMEA was used to evaluate the severity, occurrence, and detection of potential risks to obtain a Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each failure mode, while AHP prioritized mitigation strategies. The results show that the highest risk for farmers is failing to meet bean quality standards (RPN 567), for collectors is high moisture content (RPN 315), and for traders is price fluctuation (RPN 448). The most effective strategies are intensive training and direct mentoring for farmers (weight 0.664), mechanical drying for collectors (0.729), and long-term contracts for traders (0.682). Integrating FMEA and AHP offers a structured approach to prioritizing Food Loss risks and formulating strategic recommendations for stakeholders.]]>
