Abstract

Salt is one of the strategic commodities of Indonesia and East Java is the main producing area. Pasuruan Regency contributes 38.5% of East Java’s salt production. Salt farmers in the Pasuruan Regency face various obstacles such as warehousing capacity. The inadequate storage encourages them to sell their harvests without considering prices. Therefore, an analysis of warehouse capacity is very important for developing a salt business. This study examines salt warehousing capacity in the Pasuruan Regency. The methods used in this study were analysis of the Storage Space Requirement following the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for the Salt Warehouse (SNI 8446: 2017) and the ARIMA method to predict the salt price. This study projects that salt production in Pasuruan Regency will continue to increase with an average annual growth of 13%. The production will reach 18,093 tonnes, equivalent to 482,476 sacks of salt in 2030. Hence, the need for storage space for salt in Pasuruan Regency in 2030 is 18,093 m2. According to the results of this study, improving the capacity and quality of salt warehouses is fundamental to develop a salt business in Pasuruan Regency.
