The Conceptual Framework of Cold Chain for Fishery Products in Indonesia

Purpose: The main aim of this research is to determine the main component of cold chain implementation for fishery products in Indonesia. Methodology: Literature review and a deep discussion with expert were employed in this research. A concept of analytical hierarchy process was employed to assess the main component and sub component of cold chain implementation for fishery product in Indonesia. Results: Based on the comparison of the scores of the main component, it can be seen that the aspects of the fish processing industry have the highest value followed by aspects of support industry and government aspects with a value of 0.419; 0.359; and 0.222, respectively. Meanwhile, the sub component, the fish processing industry it can be seen that the costs for installation and operation occupy the highest score value position that is 0.520. This shows that fish processing industry emphasizes that the amount of costs they must bear in connection with the implementation of the cold chain concept is a very dominant factor. The second sub component is the consolidation and coordination of all members of the supply chain involved by 0.343 and the third sub component is the availability of experts in the application of the cold chain concept in the field of 0.239. Applications/ Originality/ Value: The contribution of this study is prioritization of main component of cold chain framework using AHP as an appropriate formal method. This study is expected has a significant contribution to design a strong collaboration between all stakeholders related to cold chain implementation.
