Papua is Claimed to Have High Production of Gaharu (Aquilaria spp.) that is Mainly Extracted from SwampAreas. However, it is still a polemic whether this claim is true and what is the real production level. Therefore, a field survey was conducted in Jayapura and Merauke (Papua) and Probolinggo (East Java) to unveil the actual condition of the gaharu production and its condition. Interviews were made with local forestry officers (BBKSDA) and local traders in Jayapura and Merauke, shipping companies, warehouse administrators and port administrators in Probolinggo, East Java as the final destination sea port. The results showed that the gaharu taken from swamp areas in the region of Merauke was proven by BBKSDA officials. In one year, the legal production of gaharu in the form of kamedangan reached 100 tons, while similar amount was thought to be slipped away in the illegal trades. Field survey in 2007 conducted by local BBKSDA officers in Asmat and Mappi districts showed a high production of gaharu in the form of wet kamedangan. Gaharu sea freighters at least carried 175 sacks/trip, with special freighters could carry up to 2.100 sacks/trip. The mean weight of each sack was between 58-90 kg with the mean water content ranged from 54-87.39%. Special quota criteria is required to be established on the basis of its quality for Merauke region to avoid problems on undervalue or misconception of the products and production level. Verification on the gaharu tree species originated from Papua region is also still needed.Keywords: Gaharu, Aquilaria spp., water contents Merauke, Papua. ABSTRAKPapua merupakan salah satu wilayah yang memiliki area produksi gaharu (Aquilaria spp.) yang sangat luas. Disinyalir produksi utama panenan gaharu dalam bentuk kamedangan di Merauke berasal dari daerah rawa. Namun informasi tersebut masih diragukan. Untuk itu dilakukan survei lapang ke Jayapura dan Merauke (Papua) dan Probolinggo (Jawa Timur) guna memahami kondisi sebenarnya tentang potensi gaharu. Responden yang diwawancari mencakup petugas BBKSDA dan pengumpul besar di Jayapura dan Merauke, perusahaan ekspedisi, petugas gudang pengumpulan dan administrator pelabuhan di Probolinggo. Hasil survei menunjukkan bahwa produksi utama panenan gaharu di Merauke yang berasal dari dalam rawa merupakan sisa produk tebangan masa lampau. Dalam satu tahun pengeluaran resmi gaharu dari wilayah BBKSDA Papua mencapai 100 ton. Sedangkan jumlah pengeluaran secara ilegal diperkirakan mencapai angka yang hampir sama. Hasil survei lapang ke Kabupaten Asmat dan Mappi yang dilakukan BKSDA seksi wilayah I Merauke pada tahun 2007 menunjukkan produksi kamedangan di kedua wilayah tersebut cukup tinggi. Satu kapal barang sedikitnya membawa 175 karung gaharu, sedangkan pada kapal khusus pengangkut gaharu dapat mencapai 2.100 karung. Produksi gaharu dari dua kabupaten tersebut seluruhnya diangkut lewat laut ke Probolinggo. Bobot per karung kamedangan maupun abuk gaharu mencapai 58-90 kg, dengan kandungan air 54-87,4%.

Aquilaria spp. are a group of aromatic plants of high commercial value with the products being called gubal gaharu and kamedangan. The high level of exploitation on this species has raised concerns on the population status and its conservation strategic. Cultivation is a mean of strategic step for the sustainable use of any wild harvest. A survey was conducted to evaluate the cultivation of agarwood trees and its condition in Bengkulu Province. A rapid assessment survey technique was conducted in April 2008 by visiting the agarwood (Aquilaria spp.) cultivation areas in Bengkulu. In depth interviews were made with the local farmers who had the agarwood trees cultivation. Diameter at breast height (dbh), height of agarwood trees, water content of freshly cut agarwood tree and agarwood chips formed by artificial inoculation process were measured. The results showed that cultivation of agarwood trees was initiated and coordinated by a local enterprise called CV. 88 since 2003. Until July 2008 the members had reached 29 farmers with total area covering 38 ha. No less than 5,000 agarwood trees were planted, whilst inoculation on natural agarwood trees had reached 53 ha. The perception on the meaning of cultivation was not accordance with the legislation concept; therefore, socialization on the legal concept was needed. The majority species being cultivated and those grow wildly in the plantation areas were Aquilaria microcarpa Baill. and A. malaccensis Lam. The average weight of inoculated agarwood chips was 18.79 grams/piece (Std.= 8.85) with the water contents of 11.2-12.97%, whilst water contents of freshly cut agarwood tree was 46.3%. Single agarwood tree at the height of 35 m and dbh of 118 cm could produce at least 637.65 kg of commercially dry chips (kamedangan).
Peoples of Traditional Cikondang Village, located in the village of Lamajang, Pangalengan, Bandung City West Java have a very close relation to the environment along with its natural resources. This relation is expressed in the form of procedures and rules on the management and utilization of landscape units as well as the diversity of plants as a form of adaptation to the natural environment. This research was conducted through ethnographic method for photographing people’s lives and ethnobotany to know the biological resources that are important to Cikondang’s people’s daily lives. Descriptive and analytical methods are used through interviews with 87 respondents and 4 key informants. Results of research on landscape units that were identified by the community, indicates that in terms of the character, function, and its management there are 9 units of landscape that is both natural landscape and which has been modified by Cikondang community activities. Each unit of the landscape is characterized by vegetation cover according to the type of value in order for daily life. Meanwhile, cultural factors, economic, and political could be a trigger to the landscape transformation of one type of landscape into other landscapes.
Today, every food industry must putting food safety as a bottom line to keep their product on a high quality. Fisheries product must be keeping the role of food safety to keep consumers safe to consumed a fisheries product. Traceability is a system to keep the food safety of a product to be safe on consumer table. Indonesian government have been released some decree which regulating the food safety role as a consumers protection program. Regulation of Indonesian government should be examined on the effectiveness perspectives. This research is aiming on the effectiveness perspectives of Indonesian government decree implementation of food safety. Research method was using descriptive analysis. Research was found that implementation of regulation Indonesian government about food safety was lack of effectiveness to keep food safety on the fisheries product, especially from the food additives perspective. Law enforcement is an urgent issue on the food safety regulation.Keywords: food safety, fisheries, implementation, decree, food additives ABSTRAK Keamanan pangan merupakan sebuah kewajiban yang harus dilakukan sebuah industry makanan khususnya bidang perikanan untuk memastikan produk yang dipasarkan aman untuk dikonsumsi oleh konsumen. Cakupan industry yang dimaksudkan mempunyai gambaran mulai dari sumber hingga di meja makan yang biasa disebut dengan traceability. Hal tersebut telah diatur oleh peraturan perundang-undangan yang dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah Indonesia. Efektivitas implementasi undang-undang sangat diperlukan, sehingga diperlukan kajian mengenai implementasi tersebut. Kajian mengenai efektivitas implementasi undang-undang dilaksanakan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil literature review mengenai implementasi undangundang khususnya pada sudut pandang bahan tambahan pangan pada produk perikanan menunjukkan bahwa belum efektifnya implementasi undang-undang yang telah dilaksanakan pada beberapa produk hasil perikanan. Hasil analisis menyimpulkan bahwa diperlukan penegakan dan kepastian hukum dari pemerintah Indonesia terkait dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku mengenai keamanan pangan.Kata kunci: keamanan pangan, perikanan, implementasi, undang-undang, bahan tambahan pangan PENDAHULUANProduk hasil perikanan harus memenuhi kriteria standar kualitas dan keamanan pangan yang telah ditentukan. Standar keamanan pangan ditentukan oleh lembaga dunia, yakni FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) dan CAC (Codex Alimentarius Commission). Kedua lembaga tersebut bertugas untuk merancang standar keamanan pangan yang bertujuan untuk perlindungan
