Basic Analysis of Logistics Cost for Indonesian Fishery Commodities

Abstract

Fisheries commodities are categorized as high perishables products, therefore these products need a specific handling to keep the quality until delivered to processing industries or used by end consumer. For this we need a logistics and supply chain approach to manage the products flow and cost and information as well. We consider integrated logistics activities along the supply chain so that the fisheries commodities reach the destination on the right time, on the right quality and on the right quantity. These logistics activities, however, will be a trigger of cost and will be a contributor of products price. Therefore we need analysis of fisheries logistics cost to measure the proportion of logistics cost so that we could obtain an appropriate solution for minimizing the cost. In this paper we identify a basic fisheries logistics cost in Indonesia by using a systematic review. Based on the result, we conclude that there are two kinds of logistics models, i.e. wild fisheries dan aquaculture. These two models have different supply chain pattern of commodities flow, cost and financial flow and information flow as well. Besides, as a result the proportion of logistics cost for every tier along the chain is different.
