Introduction

Risk management is a crucial aspect of any supply chain, and the non-export coffee supply chain is no exception. The coffee industry is a significant contributor to the economy of many countries, including Indonesia, where coffee is one of the country's superior products. However, the non-export coffee supply chain is often plagued by various risks that can affect the quality, productivity, and sustainability of coffee production. This study aims to conduct a risk management analysis in the non-export coffee supply chain to identify the main risks, prioritize them, and recommend effective control measures to mitigate these risks.

Research Methodology

This study employed a descriptive analysis method to collect and analyze data from primary and secondary sources. The data was obtained through a purposive sampling method, where the research area was determined to dig deeper into the risk management practices in the non-export coffee supply chain. The Analytical Network Process (AnP) method was integrated with the Weighted Failure Mode Effect and Analysis (WFMEA) to measure the level of risk that occurs in each member of the supply chain.

Results

The results of the study showed that the main actors in the coffee supply chain in the study area included farmers, collecting traders, and coffee factory. Various risks were identified, including quality, production, price, supply, environment, and transportation. The main concern problems included improving product quality, productivity, guarantee of product continuity, and increasing farmers' income.

The analysis conducted revealed that the biggest risk lies in farmers, with the priority risk being the risk of production. The risk of production has the highest weight, indicating that production problems become crucial to improve. The results also showed that the risk of production is closely related to the income of farmers, which is a critical factor in maintaining the sustainability of coffee production.

Discussion

The results of this study highlight the importance of risk management in the non-export coffee supply chain. The biggest risk lies in farmers, which is a critical factor in maintaining the sustainability of coffee production. The priority risk being the risk of production indicates that production problems become crucial to improve. The risk of production is closely related to the income of farmers, which is a critical factor in maintaining the sustainability of coffee production.

The study recommends that the government and other stakeholders provide support to farmers through the provision of low-interest loans and distribution of fast and accurate market information. The formation of responsible coffee quality supervisors is also an important step to ensure that the products produced meet the expected quality standards. Additionally, the right and periodic counseling program to coffee farmers can help them in maintaining the quality and quantity of production.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of risk management in the non-export coffee supply chain. The biggest risk lies in farmers, which is a critical factor in maintaining the sustainability of coffee production. The priority risk being the risk of production indicates that production problems become crucial to improve. The study recommends that the government and other stakeholders provide support to farmers through the provision of low-interest loans and distribution of fast and accurate market information. The formation of responsible coffee quality supervisors is also an important step to ensure that the products produced meet the expected quality standards.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:

Increase production and quality of coffee: One effective way to control the risks identified in the coffee supply chain is to increase production and quality of coffee. This can be achieved through the right and periodic counseling program to coffee farmers, which can help them in maintaining the quality and quantity of production.
Capital guarantees for farmers: Capital guarantees for farmers to be able to develop the scale of production are also very necessary. This can be achieved through the provision of low-interest loans and distribution of fast and accurate market information.
Formation of responsible coffee quality supervisors: The formation of responsible coffee quality supervisors is also an important step to ensure that the products produced meet the expected quality standards.
Government support: The government can provide support to farmers through the provision of low-interest loans and distribution of fast and accurate market information.

Limitations

This study has several limitations. Firstly, the study was conducted in a specific region, which may not be representative of the entire non-export coffee supply chain. Secondly, the study only focused on the risk management practices in the non-export coffee supply chain and did not consider other factors that may affect the sustainability of coffee production.

Future Research Directions

This study provides several directions for future research. Firstly, the study can be replicated in other regions to determine the generalizability of the findings. Secondly, the study can be extended to consider other factors that may affect the sustainability of coffee production. Finally, the study can be used as a basis for developing a risk management framework for the non-export coffee supply chain.

Risk Management Analysis in Non-Export Coffee Supply Chains: Q&A ===========================================================

Introduction

Risk management is a crucial aspect of any supply chain, and the non-export coffee supply chain is no exception. In our previous article, we discussed the importance of risk management in the non-export coffee supply chain and identified the main risks and control measures. In this article, we will answer some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) related to risk management in the non-export coffee supply chain.

Q: What are the main risks in the non-export coffee supply chain?

A: The main risks in the non-export coffee supply chain include quality, production, price, supply, environment, and transportation. These risks can affect the quality, productivity, and sustainability of coffee production.

Q: Why is risk management important in the non-export coffee supply chain?

A: Risk management is important in the non-export coffee supply chain because it can help to identify and mitigate risks that can affect the quality, productivity, and sustainability of coffee production. By managing risks effectively, coffee producers can reduce the likelihood of losses and improve their competitiveness in the market.

Q: What are some effective control measures to mitigate risks in the non-export coffee supply chain?

A: Some effective control measures to mitigate risks in the non-export coffee supply chain include:

Increasing production and quality of coffee through the right and periodic counseling program to coffee farmers.
Providing capital guarantees for farmers to develop the scale of production.
Forming responsible coffee quality supervisors to ensure that the products produced meet the expected quality standards.
Providing government support through the provision of low-interest loans and distribution of fast and accurate market information.

Q: How can coffee producers identify and prioritize risks in the non-export coffee supply chain?

A: Coffee producers can identify and prioritize risks in the non-export coffee supply chain by using risk assessment tools such as the Analytical Network Process (AnP) and the Weighted Failure Mode Effect and Analysis (WFMEA). These tools can help to identify the main risks and prioritize them based on their likelihood and impact.

Q: What are some challenges faced by coffee producers in managing risks in the non-export coffee supply chain?
