<![CDATA[Jabung District is the largest cassava production center in Malang Regency and contributes significantly to the regional economy. However, limited market access and weak horizontal coordination have resulted in low farm-gate prices and a value chain that has not been optimized. This study aims to examine the structure and flow patterns of the cassava value chain in Jabung District, Malang Regency, and the distribution of margins generated by each actor in the chain. The study was conducted in Jabung District because it is the largest cassava production center in the regency. The sample consisted of 82 farmers selected through purposive sampling, while marketing institutions were identified through snowball sampling. Data were analyzed using value chain analysis based on ACIAR (2012), which comprises value chain mapping and economic value analysis. The results show that the value chain consists of four actors: farmers, collectors, wholesalers, and inter-regional traders. The highest profit margin was obtained by farmers at IDR 811.26/kg, followed by inter-regional traders at IDR 745.5/kg, wholesalers at IDR 447/kg, and collectors at IDR 170/kg. The marketing margin analysis shows that value chain channel IV yields a farmer’s share of less than 50%, meaning that most of the marketing margin is captured by marketing institutions. Improvements to the value chain are needed so that farmers can obtain a fairer distribution of value.]]>
