The case is about Fishery Supply Chain in Indonesia. Being the largest archipelago in the world, Indonesia has a tremendous opportunity in its marine and fishery sector. With the President Joko Widodo’s direction in stressing the importance of Indonesia’s fishery and the breakthrough policies set by his minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Mrs. Susi Pudjiastuti, Indonesia Fishery industry has entered an interesting era.
Yet, fishery supply chain is not easy. It has its own challenges despite tremendous opportunity to add value for all the stakeholders along the chain. The ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has set some high level policies that should be a good base for improving the fishery industry in strategic level. To materialize the benefits, it must be followed with a good supply chain analysis and initiatives.
The case is about how Nestle Indonesia implemented itsCSV initiatives to the rural areas where its factories located. The case uses Nestle coffee factory in Panjang, Lampung as the background setting, and how Nestle helps the coffee farmers in Lampung to support its raw material needs (domestic and export) while guiding the farmers in making a profitable farming.
Coffee is also the 2nd important commodity in the world, with Indonesia coming 4th as coffee exporters. The supply of coffee comes from small scale farmers with limited resources while demand opportunity is attractive with possibility for different market segments. Indonesia’s coffee industryhas its own drawback with limited resources in term of farmers’ knowledge on good agricultural practice, farmers’ financial strength, and inherited old trees.
