This study was initiated to identify market chain actors and their function in the market, investigate the structure conduct and performance of goat marketing in south omo zones of SNNPR, Ethiopia during the year 2018. Primary data were collected from sampled pastoralists and agro pastoralists, traders and brokers. Before the household survey, key informant interview and focus group discussions were conducted with producers, traders and brokers. Descriptive Statistics and qualitative data analysis techniques were employed to analyze the goat market structure, conduct and performance. The results show that producers, brokers, traders and consumers were the major goat market actors. Regarding the market structure, cattle market is known to be dominated by few traders. Although the degree of competition varies, goat market structure in the study area has an oligopolistic nature. This shows that only few traders have the majority of market share and earn abnormal profit. Besides, goat market is characterized by entry barriers, distant market point, high trucking cost, seasonality of marketing, information asymmetries and unfriendly relation between actors. As the pastoralists and agro pastoralists mainly depend on goat for their livelihoods and other cultural values, traders take advantage of the asymmetric market information towards them. The larger share of the market gains remains with end traders thereby limiting the pastoralists and agro pastoralists chance to realize the economic gains in goat production. Thus, linking producers to market and its benefits, establishing cooperatives and development of infrastructure could play a significant role for optimization of the sector. Int. J. Agril. Res.

Tuna merupakan komoditas ekspor perikanan utama di Indonesia. Berdasarkan data Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) ekspor tuna Indonesia mengalami tren pertumbuhan nilai ekspor yang melambatdari tahun 2012 hingga 2018. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan analisis mengenai struktur perilaku dan kinerja pemasaran industri tuna di Indonesia yang diharapkan dapat mendukung kinerja ekspor tunaIndonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dari Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan dan BPS serta data primer bersumber dari pelaku usaha tuna. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis struktur pasar dengan perhitungan konsentrasi pasar dan hambatan masuk pasar, serta perilaku pasar yang dianalisis secara deskriptif selain itu kinerja pasar dianalisis menggunakan perhitungan variabel price cost margin (PCM) dan efisiensi internal (Xeff). Hasil analisis struktur pasar menunjukkan bahwa komoditas tuna memiliki struktur pasar oligopoli, meskipun untuk komoditas tuna olahan dapat dikategorikan oligopoli ketat cenderung monopoli. Analisis perilaku pasar menunjukkan bahwa penentuan harga tuna ekspor dilakukan oleh buyer dan promosi dilakukan melalui ajang pameran perdagangan serta pengiriman sampel kepada calon buyer. Perhitungan indikator kinerja pasar menunjukkan bahwa kinerja pemasaran tuna beku lebih baik dibandingkan tuna olahan. Rekomendasi kebijakan yang disarankan adalah dengan kebijakan mempermudah investasi sehingga meningkatkan jumlah pelaku usaha dan menurunkan tingkat persaingan. Selain itu perlu pengawasan oleh komite persaingan usaha terutama pada komoditas tuna olahan untuk menghindari kecenderungan monopoli bahan baku. Peningkatandaya saing dari tuna Indonesia perlu juga dilakukan agar lebih berperan dalam menentukan harga di pasar ekspor. Kinerja pasar dapat ditingkatkan melalui penghematan biaya input atau peningkatanvolume output untuk meningkatkan nilai efisiensi internal.Title: Structure, Conduct and Performance Analysis of Tuna Industries in Indonesia Tuna is a major fishery export commodity in Indonesia, although based on data from the Central Bureau Statistics Indonesian tuna exports experience a slowing trend in the value of exports from 2012 to 2018. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the structure, conduct and performance from of the tuna industry .

In addition, market performance is analyzed using the calculation of price cost margin (PCM) and internal efficiency (Xeff). The results of the market structure analysis show that tuna has an oligopoly market structure. Analysis of market conduct shows that the determination of the price of export tuna is carried out by the buyer and promotion is carried out through a trade exhibition and sending samples to prospective buyers. The calculation of market performance indicators shows that the marketing performance of frozen tuna is better than processed tuna. The recommended policy are to facilitate investment to reducing the level of competition. In addition itneeds supervision by the business competition committee, especially on processed tuna commodities. Increasing the competitiveness of Indonesian tuna also needs to be done to be more instrumental indetermining prices in the export market.

This research aimed at assessing the market chain of banana, avocado and mango fruits in Bench Maji zone. Both primary and secondary data were collected from 2 purposively selected fruits producing districts namely North Bench and South Bench districts. Primary data were collected through semi-structured questionnaire and focus group discussion. A total of 150 households were selected by using systematic random sampling technique. In addition, 40 traders were selected by using simple random sampling technique. Market structure – conduct – performance analysis model was used to assess the performance of the fruits market. The result revealed that the participants in the fruits market were identified as primary actors and secondary actors. Primary actors in the fruits market chain were producers, brokers/ agents, farmer traders, collectors, and wholesalers. Whereas, local tax authority, local police, transporters, and district Trade and Industry office were identified as secondary actors. Fruits market in the area was characterized by non-competitive nature with concentration ratio ranging from 42 to 91.10% indicating the existence of oligopoly market structure. Entrance and exit in the fruits market was blocked by licensing and access to channel. A channel that links producers to local wholesalers through brokers was more efficient in terms of large volumes of sales. However, performance of the fruits market was affected by seasonality, the existence of few big traders, limited access to information, absence of organized market center and brokers’ interference. Therefore, attention has to be given to alleviate the problems so as to improve the performance of the fruits market.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk : 1) Mengetahui gambaran pemasaran sawi manis di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan, 2) Menghitung efisiensi pemasaran sawi manis dilihat dari analisis market structure, market conduct, dan market performance (SCP). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan pendekatan structure, conduct, and performance of market (SCP). Berdasarkan penelitian, pemasaran sawi manis di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan terdiri dari lima pola saluran pemasaran, yaitu : 1) petani-konsumen ; 2) petani-pedagang pengumpul besar (PPB)-agen/pedagang pengecer-konsumen ; 3) petani-pedagang pengecer-konsumen; 4) petani-pedagang pengumpul kecil (PPK)-pedagang pengecer-konsumen; 5) petani-pasar modern-konsumen. Fungsi pemasaran yang dilakukan oleh lembaga-lembaga pemasaran, yaitu fungsi pertukaran, fungsi fisik, dan fungsi fasilitas. Dengan pendekatan market structure, pasar sawi manis di Jambi Selatan cenderung mengarah kepada persaingan oligopoli murni. Dilihat dari perilaku pasar, sistem pembayaran kemudian masih terjadi antara pedagang pengumpul dengan petani dan antara pedagang pengumpul dengan pedagang eceran. Sedangkan kinerja pasar menunjukkan bahwa penyebaran marjin, farmer’s share, dan rasio keuntungan tidak merata pada masing-masing lembaga pemasaran. Dari indikator SCP yang telah dijelaskan  di atas dapat diketahui bahwa pemasaran sawi manis di Jambi Selatan belum efisien. Berdasarkan kondisi saat ini dan hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan, saluran pemasaran IV (petani-pedagang pengumpul kecil (PPK)-pedagang pengecer-konsumen) merupakan alternatif saluran pemasaran yang efisien yang dapat dipilih oleh petani.   Kata Kunci : efisiensi, pemasaran, sawi manis, SCP (structure, conduct, and performance of market)

Open innovation is proved to be determinant in the rationalization of sustainable innovation ecosystems. Firms, universities, governments, user communities and the overall environment are called to contribute to this dynamic process. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the impact of open innovation on firms’ performance and to empirically assess whether university-industry collaborations are complementary or substitutes for this activity. Primary data were collected from a survey encompassing 908 firms, and then combined with performance indicators from SABI (Spanish and Portuguese business information). Econometric estimations were run to evaluate the role of open innovation and university-industry collaboration in the firm innovative propensity and performance. Results highlight the importance of diversity in collaborations with the academia and inbound open innovation strategy as enhancers of firm performance. The two activities reinforce each other. By testing the impact of open innovation practices on company performance, the need for heterogeneity in terms of contact type and university is also demonstrated. Findings cast light on the need to reformulate existing policy packages, reinforcing the ties with academia as well as the promotion of open innovation strategies. The connection to the innovation ecosystem needs to be further encouraged as well as the promotion of persistent connections with the knowledge sources in an open and multilateral framework.
