Centralized cold chain system for fish price stability in Lamongan Jawa Timur

摘要

The high potential of marine fisheries in Indonesia, especially in Lamongan, East Java, is not followed by the stability of fish prices. The price of marine fish tends to fluctuate because of the uncertainty of fish catches from fishermen. This study designed a cold chain system model that aims to maintain the stability of fish supply to the market so that the stability of fish prices gets better. This study uses a dynamic system approach to design 2 fish distribution models, namely models for existing conditions and models for centralized cold storage. Various conditions for increasing supply, increasing demand, cold storage capacity are parameters to be simulated. The results of this study indicate that the cold chain system built in this model can significantly reduce the variance in average fish prices.
