Abstract

This study aims to create a strategy to increase local salt prices in the East Java Region. The analytical method used in this study is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to create a strategy to increase local salt prices in East Java. The analysis reveals that the problems in the field can be classified into three groups of problems, namely salt quality problems, marketing problems, and problems in financing. Based on these problems, the main policy alternatives we make are product standardization, market regulation, and financial regulation.

Summary

Introduction

Salt is one of the main ingredients of human needs for various purposes, both for consumption and industry. The need for high-quality salt continues to increase during the growth of the industry. Indonesia is one of the countries with the longest coastline in the world. These advantages cannot fulfill the national salt needs, so Indonesia needs to import salt. Several other problems are national salt processing technology: 1) still fairly traditional, 2) the transfer of land functions from salt ponds to settlements, 3) salt production volume still depends on solar heat, and 4) national salt quality is still low (Rochwulaningsih, 2017; Santosa, 2015; Sudaryana & Pramesti, 2018)
