Abstract

Coconut is one of Indonesia's strategic agricultural commodities. However, in the past five years, many issues on the sustainability of the coconut supply chain in Indonesia have been revealed in the mass media. This study aims to explore the issue by exploring discussions that emerge in online news articles. It employs content analysis and binary factor analysis to investigate and construct the information in identifying and narrating the issue of sustainability of the coconut supply chain in Indonesia. The result shows that the sustainability of the coconut supply chain in Indonesia experiences disruptions and requires an immediate long-term strategy for restoration. This will provide insight into the real condition of the coconut supply chain in Indonesia so that could become the basis for further research. Future work should include a simulation study to find the best policy in maintaining the sustainability of the coconut supply chain in Indonesia. © 2021 IEEE.
