| Abstract | This research aims to study the supply chain management system of KhaiBananas (Musa AA group) for the purpose of determining its present status as well assolutions in order to enhance the production capacity by achieving higher quality andbeing able to increase the export level. The data collection method applied includes semistructurein-depth interviews based on SCOR-Model and comparison between cost, profit,and production quantity and quality. This research was conducted in two provincesnamely Chanthaburi and Phetchaburi, where Khai Bananas are largely and commerciallygrown. According to the research, Chanthaburi province has a different approach in termsof supply chain management when compared to that of Phetchaburi province. InChanthaburi province, the product is mainly exported to China thus making quality of theproduct is the most important goal of postharvest management. Here, mixed intercroppingis practiced together with several other crops such as durian, rambutan, mangosteen, andlongkong. In Phetchaburi province, on the other hand, domestic market is its main target.Competition in terms of pricing and low-cost production is therefore emphasized. Row intercropping is then practiced along with one or two other crops namely lime and papaya. According to the analysis, it can be found that the costs of production and logistics, including total costs of Chanthaburi province are 18.35, 7.78 and 26.13 baht per kilogram, respectively. In terms of quality, there are difference in quality product between Chanthaburi andPhetchaburi provinces. The average of selling price and profit of Chanthaburi province are 29.86 baht/kg and 5.27 baht/kg, respectively. This is higher whencompared to the average selling priceand profit of Phetchaburi province which are 11.76 baht/kg and 2.60 baht/kg,respectively. It is also found that the costs of production and logistics as well as the total costs of Phetchaburi province are only3.65, 4.50 and 8.15 baht/kg, respectively. In terms of averageproduction capacity per rai (1 rai=0.16hectare), Phetchaburi province has anaverage production capacity of 2,071.37kg/rai which is higher than Chanthaburiprovince that has an average productioncapacity of only 419.54 kg/rai. Furthermore,there is a difference in the cost, profit,production quantity, and selling price ofthe product between Chanthaburiprovince and Phetchaburi province with a statistical significance level of 0.05.Regarding production limitations, it can befound that the majority of farmers did notmake any plans prior to the actualproduction process nor did they followthe GAP quality management system. A large amount of chemical fertilizers andpesticides were widely used. As for thesolutions and enhancement of production capacity, it is suggested that production planning prior to the actual process should be implemented among farmers such as conducting soil analysis anddetermining the planting and croppingperiod in accordance with GAP qualitymanagement system. Also, farmers should be encouraged to use organic fertilizers,manure, and bio-substances in replacement of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Lastly, farmers should be encouraged to form a support group as away of strengthening their negotiating powers regarding the price of their products and production factors. Contract farming should be promoted among farmers by the government in order to lessen the fluctuation of product price and simultaneously encourage farmers to practice professional production management. |
