Value Chain Analysis of Cassava (Manihot Esculeta) in Toba Samosir Regency, North Sumatera, Indonesia

The purpose of this study is to map out the value chain of cassava (Manihot esculeta) and to measure the extent to which the cassava commodity in Toba Samosir Regency, North Sumatera, Indonesia, could affect the economics of the relevant stakeholders. This study employed the value chain mapping analysis method to map out the existing supply chain models. Data and information have been collected using semi-structured interviews to selected sample that represent the stakeholders’ population along the cassava supply chain in Toba Samosir Regency. The stakeholders have been identified using snowball technique. SWOT analysis was employed to deploy policy strategy in improving the cassava benefit for the stakeholders. From the study, we obtain three models of supply chain of cassava, namely: (i) direct sale of cassava root to consumer model, (ii) cassava-based food model, and (iii) tapioca starch model. The margins of each node for each supply chain were estimated. The value chain map reveals that the value engineering of cassava commodities is not optimal, in which the final products produced by all models of supply chain are far below the potential possible value. We finally recommended some value-added improvement strategy; for example, diversifying the product of cassava derivative that is more valuable that is higher-grade tapioca flour and modification of cassava flour.

Reproduction of Batak Manuscript for the Purposes of Revitalizing Local and Commercial Wisdom in Samosir Regency, North Sumatera Province

Pustaha laklak is a handscrift or manuscript from Batak that uses tree bark as its medium. The writing in this pustaha laklak uses Batak script or also called the Batak letter. Batak letter has special technicalities in its writing. And this writing system is also closely related to the culture and local wisdom of Batak people. The relationship between the Batak script and the Batak customs is too close, so that efforts to obtain and possess these old texts continue to be carried out. One of the efforts undertaken by the community in Samosir Regency is to copy back the old manuscripts. This activity is part of the reproduction of the manuscript. However, this copying activity was carried out not solely for the purpose of saving the manuscript. However, commercial interests tend to be motivated because the texts are traded as souvenirs for local and foreign tourists. The right approach taken in this study is the approach of philology and local wisdom. Djamaris (2002: 3) said that philology is a science that makes old texts as the object of writing. Manuscript reproduction is an object of philology while the text or all messages contained in the manuscript is a form of local wisdom of the Toba Batak people. The research method used is the single manuscript edition method. Tomok Village and Tuktuk Siadong Village are suitable locations to be used as research sites because these two villages are closely related to the reproduction of manuscripts for commercial purposes for local and foreign tourists. Based on the studies conducted, it can be seen that copying is always done. Every writing of a manuscript, the writer refers to the manuscript that becomes the reference. The copying process is according to requests from what people need. The mistake that tends to be made is the use of child letter and parent letter, especially for child letter / i / and / u /.
