PENETAPAN KONTRAK HARGA UNTUK PENINGKATAN KERJA SAMA ANTARA PETERNAK DAN PEDAGANG (PENGEPUL) JANGKRIK DI KECAMATAN KEBONAGUNG KABUPATEN DEMAK

Abstract

Cricket animals are animals that have high economic value,
which is used for animal feed (birds and ornamental fish). This makes
some people or community groups cultivate these crickets. The object of
this research is the cricket farmers in Kecamatan Kebonagung Demak
Regency. This breeder is divided into two groups, the farmers who
cooperate with the collectors and who do not cooperate. For farmers who
do not cooperate with financial collectors and information better than
those who work together. The focus of this study is whether the
determination of price contracts can enhance cooperation between
farmers and traders (Collectors) Crickets in Kebonagung District,
Demak District.The population in this research is all breeders and
collectors (traders) crickets in Kebonagung District, Demak District
which is still actively running the farm and business of crickets is as
much as 53 breeders and collectors. The sample is taken by 7 informants,
2 cricket farmers, 2 collectors collectors, 1 feeder, 1 bird and ornamental
fish 1 person and 1 farmer.
The results of this study indicate that the contract price is still
flexible and more in line with the culture in Demak district, so the risk of
breeders and collectors can be minimized, but profit can not be enjoyed
together on both sides (breeders and collectors). The advantage is more
enjoyed by the collecting party as the contract price determinant. Both
parties still have ties to try to foster cooperation to be longer with better
future cooperation commitments. Cooperation ties need to be improved so
as to become stronger and more profitable. Information generally known
to farmers will be anticipated by the collectors. The agency theory still
applies to the business of cricket trade. The collectors still hide very
important information and can threaten the existence of the collectors
themselves.
