(National Logistic Bureau), West Java

The purpose of this study was to analyze the condition of rice supply chain at
Bulog; to identify, to evaluate and to analyze factors influencing Bulogs performance on
rice supply chain; and to formulate strategic alternative for Bulog to improve its
performance on managing rice supply chain. The primary data were collected from five
expert respondents at Regional Division of Bulog for West Java Area and one expert
respondent at Bulog Office Centre, Jakarta. The secondary data were collected from
Bulog, Central Bureau of Statistics, and FAO. Cause Effect Diagram, Time Series
Analysis, and Transportation Model were used to identify, to evaluate and to analyze the
data. The farmers, rural cooperatives, and private milling units were involved in the
paddy/rice procurement of Bulog. The rice was distributed to budgeting group and non
budgeting group. The factors influencing Bulogs performance were value advantages
(paddy quality, rice quality, quality maintenance, and technology of post harvest
handling and rice processing); and productivity advantages (on-farm production, rice
stock, transportation, paddy/rice defect, procurement cost and partnership). It was
predicted that the rice production volume in West Java and Banten Provinces tend to
decrease, each for 3 806.33 Tons per quartile and 1 662.85 Tons per quartile. The
optimal rice transportation network should be conducted through rice distribution from
Cirebon Sub Regional Division to Ciamis Sub Regional Division or from Karawang Sub
Regional Division to Cianjur Sub Regional Division. Rice distribution could be
conducted from Cirebon, Indramayu, Karawang and Subang Sub Regional Divisions to
Jakarta Raya Sub Regional Division. Bulog was suggested to maximize its core
competence on logistic area, which should be strengthened through technology
modernization, rice based product diversification planning, human resources quality
improvement, and networking development with related industries.
