Until now, this commodity continues to be developed because it has become the main income for the people in this area. This study pupose to map the porang supply chain as well as to analyze its value chain which includes socio-economic and contributions between the business actors involved in the porang supply chain in Klangon Village, Saradan Subdistrict, Madiun District.The research activity was carried out in Klangon Village, Saradan Subdistrict, Madiun District in March – April 2021. The method used was the Hayami method. The results showed that the current profit level of porang business for each kilogram from the largest to the smallest are farmers 80.26%, wholesalers 67.57% and collectors 22.80%. The wholesalers sell porang chips, therefore their added value is greater than the farmers and collectors. The amount of added value successively from farmers, collectors and wholesalers are IDR. 8433/kg, IDR. 3000/kg, and IDR. 62000/kg. Based on this analysis, it proves that post-harvest handling in converting fresh porang into chips can increase added value, and currently the added value is still owned by wholesalers. Efforts to increase added value and profits at the farm level can be done through increasing post-harvest handling capacity into more valuable forms such as chips and flour.
