ADOPTION OF GOOD MANAGEMENT PRACTICE (GMP) IN SMALL AND MEDIUM SCALE VANNAMEI SHRIMP FARMS ON THE NORTHERN SHORE OF EAST JAVA
ABSTRACT: The objectives of
this research were to describe the value chain of Vannamei shrimp industry on
the northern shore of East Java, to identify the current management practice
that is being implemented by small to
medium scale shrimp
farmers, to analyze
the level of
adoption of Good
Management Practice by small to medium scale shrimp farmers and to
identify the challenges that prevent small to medium scale farmers from
adopting Good Management Practice. This research utilized descriptive qualitative
method using multiple-case study. Data collection was conducted through
interviews with experts and various
actors in shrimp
industry and interviews
and observations in
shrimp farms. From this research
it can be concluded that the farming activity gives the largest contribution in
final product value, that the current management practice in observed intensive
Vannamei shrimp farms is in line with recommendations of various institutions
with the exception of waste management, that the observed intensive Vannamei
shrimp farms have high adoption level of Good Management Practice (GMP) for
various stages of shrimp farming activity with the exception of waste
management, and that there is a tendency that farmers follow the good practices
that have direct impact to the success of the production, and that the main
challenges of GMP adoption are the lack of a comprehensive GMP manual, the lack
of structured technology dissemination, and the lack of incentive for the
farmers to adopt waste management practices.
