The problems associated with rice production in Indonesia appear very complicated, due to poor management of the sufficient national rice stock and various unfavorable public policies. Recently, government’s directives on rice importation instigated polemics from several interests, as a result of inappropriate decisions on general rice production, with possible yearly increment. Therefore, there is need to embrace strategy development to balance demand and supply. The purpose of this study was to analyze the rice supply chain in Demak and Sukoharjo, Central Java Province, in an effort to provide effective and collaborative distribution policies at individual levels. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted for 98 respondents in a bid to acquire relevant and current information for the conceptual framework development. Furthermore, sampling methodologies, termed purposive and snowballing, were applied, followed by the preparation of interview guidelines. The results showed the...

SUPPLY CHAIN MODEL FOR RICE IN MALAYSIA: BASICS AND CHALLENGES
Rice is a staple food and also a food culture for Malaysian. Availability of reasonable priced-quality rice at the right time is ultimate important to the livelihood of the people. Supply Chain Management (SCM) was coined in the early 1980s and since then SCM has increased its attractiveness both in industrial goods as well as in agriculture. In rice supply chain, products change in their appearance and quality from primary production to the final consumer. Supply chain formation within agri-food system is driven by the desire to improve competitiveness. The growing importance of food security requires dramatic changes in agri-food systems. Agri-food systems link from producers through consumers with an increasingly dominant role being played by retailers. The key to be successful in agri-food distribution will be driven by the capacity to establish seamless partnership that serves consumers. The basic background and recent development in the SCM of agri-food products in Malaysia will constitute the first part of the study. The study then describes the mismatch between supply and demand, and the sourcing and responsiveness problems faced by the Malaysian rice supply chain. The researcher considers size of domestic production and imports in the presence of various types of constraints. The study describes the need for improvement of an efficient and robust supply chain for the Malaysian rice sector. In the study, the researcher addresses a number of options to mitigate these problems. The study proposes a framework of public policy choices and strategies for the development of an innovative rice supply chain involving farmers, collectors, rice millers, importers, wholesalers and retailers. The study concluded that an integral approach is essential to develop robust solutions for competitive SCM for rice.
