KINERJA PEMASARAN DAN DAYA SAING EKSPOR KAKAO INDONESIA (Studi Kasus di Propinsi Sulawesi Tenggara)

Ade Supriatna, Bambang Dradjat

Abstract

Penelitian dilaksanakan tahun 2005 di K

abupaten Kolaka, daerah sentra produksi kakao Sulawesi
Tenggara. Tujuan penelitian, yaitu: (1) menganalisis pemasaran kakao di tingkat petani dan (2) menganalisis
kinerja ekspor kakao terutama daya saing kakao Indonesia di pasar internasional. Penelitian menggunakan
metoda survai. Hasil penelitian menunjukan, bahwa petani menjual kakao melalui tiga saluran pemasaran, yaitu:
pertama, petani menjual kakao ke pengumpul, dari pengumpul ke pedagang besar lalu pedagang besar
menjualnya ke eksportir; kedua petani menjual kakao ke pengumpul lalu pengumpul menjualnya ke eksportir;
ketiga, petani menjual kakao ke pedagang besar lalu pedagang besar menjualnya ke eksportir. Saluran pertama
paling sering digunakan oleh petani dibandingkan saluran lainnya. Pada setiap saluran, eksportir selalu
memperoleh keuntungan paling besar (antara Rp.1.000 sampai Rp.1.050/kg) dibandingkan pelaku pasar lainnya.
Hal ini sudah wajar karena mereka mengeluarkan biaya besar untuk mendapatkan mutu barang sesuai
permintaan importir, menanggung resiko akibat perubahan harga di pasar dunia serta perubahan nilai tukar
rupiah terhadap mata uang asing. Ekspor kakao Indonesia belum berorientasi pasar, melainkan masih
berorientasi produksi dimana perkembangan volume ekspor tidak sejalan dengan perkembangan nilai ekspor.
Hasil analisis RCA selama sembilan tahun (1995-2004) menunjukkan bahwa daya saing kakao Indonesia
cenderung menurun (0,11%/tahun) dan juga Ghana (3,98%) dan Pantai Gading (2,59%) per tahun. Sementara,
negara eksportir lainnya mengalami kenaikan seperti Belgia (35,09%), Belanda (8,15%), Nigeria (4,82%) dan
Kamerun (1,52%) per tahun. Pemerintah perlu memberikan dukungan kebijakan yang kondusif untuk
meningkatkan daya saing kakao Indonesia. Perbaikan diperlukan mulai dari tingkat usahatani melalui penerapan
teknologi unggulan, perbaikan pasca panen dan pemasaran.

ABSTRACT

This study was conducted in 2005 and taken place in Kolaka District, a centre of cacao production of
Sulawesi Tenggara. The objectives of study were : (1) to analyze the marketing of cacao in farmer level and (2)
to analyze the performance of cacao export especially its competitiveness in international market. This study
used the method of survey. Result showed, that the farmer sold cacao through three marketing channels, that is:
the first channel, the farmer sold cacao to collector, from collector to wholesaler then the wholesaler sold it to
exporter; the second channel, the farmer sold cacao to collector then the collector sold it to exporter; the third
channel, the farmer sold cacao to wholesaler then wholesaler sold it to exporter. The first channel was the most
often used by farmer compared to other channels. In each marketing channel, exporter always obtained the
highest benefit (from IDR.1,000 to IDR.1,050/Kg) compared to other market actors. The exporter spend a lot of
cost to get quality of cacao according to importer request, took some risks caused by the price change in the
world market and also change of the exchange rate of rupiah to foreign money. The export of Indonesia cacao
was not yet oriented to the market, but still oriented to production. Where the growth of export volume did not in
line with the growth of export value. The result of RCA analysis during nine years (1995-2004) indicated that
Indonesia cacao competitiveness showed decreasing (0.11%/year) and also Ghana (3.98%) and Ivory Coast
(2.59%). While the others countries showed increasing like Belgium (35.09%), Netherlands (8.15%), Nigeria
(4.82%) and Cameroon (1.52%) per year. Government required doing some conductively policy to support
increasing the competitiveness of Indonesia cacao. Some improvements were needed from on-farm level through
adopting recommended technology, post-harvest handling and marketing.
