Abstract
Apart from a number of aspects that still need refining, the warehouse receipt system practiced by seaweed players in South Sulawesi has brought positive impacts to the seaweed commodity trade in the region. Through the issuance of transferable certified proofs of ownership called warehouse receipts, this system provides a number of promising features necessary to promote the development of seaweed industry. These features are the guarantees of seaweed availability, quality and price. Contrary to conditions in South Sulawesi where the quality of seaweed is good and the price is relatively high, seaweed from Java is of poor quality and the price is low. This justified research carried out in 2019, aiming at assessing the opportunity of adopting the same system in Java. Following a multi-dimensional methodological approach, the research assessed the readiness index of the three main potential receipt warehouse locations in the region: Brebes, Serang and Sumenep. The index included six dimensions, each of which consisted of 7 to 13 attributes. The dimensions were: (i) raw materials, (ii) technology, (iii) economy, (iv) infrastructure, (v) socio-cultural, (vi) institutional. The assessment results showed that all three seaweed production centres had an average readiness index classified as ‘sufficient’, with Sumenep having the highest mean index value. To improve Sumenep's readiness index, the dimensions requiring the most attention were Infrastructure and Institutional; the top leverage attributes were: infrastructure for international delivery, cultivation area, institutional handling of environmental impacts, and cross-sectoral cooperation.
