To function, a marketing channel must have a certain amount of consensus and coordinated decision making among its members. Marketing channel theory has emphasized the “internal” mechanisms of achieving integrated actions. However, channels consist of exchanging organizations that are affected not only by their collective interests, but also by forces “external” to the relationship. Internal coordination mechanisms are likely to be less effective to the extent channel members are faced with uncertainties emanating from external sources. The authors examine the external or environmental factors affecting decision-making uncertainty in channels. The findings indicate that four dimensions—diversity among consumers, dynamism, concentration, and capacity—should be included in future research on the effects of environments on intrachannel variables.

In order to establish a high coordination between the production and commercialization processes, the farmer uses a productive and business planning supported by detailed records of previous seasons and sales and constant attention to the movements and trends of the markets and of the consumers of his products. Thus, it is verified that the productive activities are oriented by a schedule elaborated according to the expectations of demand for each moment of the productive season. On the marketing side, organic certification proves to be a competitive advantage and a way of adding value to the product, and it enables access to different marketing channels, what allows the farmer to reach different groups of consumers. In this case, the direct marketing, especially in the Farmer's Market, is the most relevant marketing channel for both amount of products and revenue share.

This article describes how fresh fruit bunches grown by oil palm smallholders are incorporated into oil palm marketing models in Indonesia. This emotional network marketing model is a supplementary model of marketing models in Malaysia which is called factory centered and middleman model. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data was collected by conducted in-depth interviews with 28 informants coming from 4 (four) categories of oil palm smallholders: oil palm tauke (middleman) that included big tauke and small tauke, workers in the loading ramps, and workers in the oil palm factories who were involved in oil palm marketing channels. The result of the research showed that the oil palm marketing channel between smallholders and either small tauke and big tauke was based on an emotional network with a strong bond of friendship, brotherhood, dwelling location, cash payment, giving loan with reasonable requirements, and providing transportation for fresh fruit bunches. In contrast, oil palm marketing channel among smallholders, loading ramp buyers, and POF was based on regulations. This writing presented a different perspective of oil palm marketing channels in general by involving the emotional network of the existing actors for getting fresh fruit bunches and the advantages of oil palm marketing. In this marketing model, there is a longer marketing channel and actors with their varied roles.

AbstractHaving a role as the 'backbone' of the Indonesian economy, SMEs growth has decreased from year to year. One of them occurred at Badii Farm which experienced a decrease in sales volume due to the absence of an integrated marketing channel model. This study iaims to determine the integrated marketing channel system and the value network of Badii farm as an SME in increasing sales volume. This study is a qualitative descriptive study involving purposive sampling and using interview, observation and documentation instruments. The result shows that Badii Farm directly sells its products to customers so that there are no other alternative channels to distribute the products. Such a system runs almost in the majority of similar SMEs. Therefore, opening other marketing channels is necessary in order to increase sales volume and alternative markets. Some alternatives that can be used as other marketing channels is a wholesaler. Badii Farm is suggested to start breeding cattle for later distributed to other wholesalers so that the product is not glued to adult cattle and retailers where Badii Farm can have other market bags.Keywords: integrated-marketing channel; sales volume; small-medium enterpriseAbstrakMemiliki peran sebagai ‘tulang punggung’ perekonomian Indonesia, pertumbuhan UMKM mengalami penurunan dari tahun ke tahun. Salah satunya terjadi pada UMKM Badii Farm yang mengalami penurunan volume penjualan karena tidak adanya model saluran pemasaran yang terintegrasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sistem saluran pemasaran terintegrasi dan jaringan nilai UMKM Badii Farm dalam meningkatkan volume penjualan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan melibatkan purposive sampling dan menggunakan instrument wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi.  Dari hasil penelitian mendapatkan Badii Farm langsung menjual produknya kepada pelanggan sehingga tidak ada alternatif saluran lainnya untuk mendistribusikan produk. Sistem seperti ini berjalan hampir di mayoritas UMKM sejenis. Oleh karena itu, pembukaan saluran saluran pemasaran lainnya dirasa perlu dalam rangka meningkatkan volume penjualan dan alternatif pasar. Beberapa alternatif yang bisa digunakan sebagai saluran pemasaran lainnya diantaranya bias berupa wholesaler. Badii Farm disarankan untuk mulai melakukan pembibitan ternak untuk kemudian disalurkan kepada wholesaler lainnya sehingga produk tidak terpaku kepada ternak dewasa saja dan Retailer, sehingga Badii Farm bisa memiliki kantung kantung pasar lainnya.Kata Kunci: Saluran Pemasaran Terintegrasi; Volume Penjualan; UMKM
