TATA NIAGA TEMBAKAU DI MADURA

Tobacco is a primary traded crop in the eastern part of the island of Madura, especially in Pamekasan and Sumenep. Each year, the plantings of tobacco in Madura tend to increase. In order to make trade transactions more fluid, and in accordance with Madurese cultural values, the role of brokers, called juragan or bandol, has become important. However, since the 1980's, the government has put a limit on the area of tobacco plantings, and instituted quality standards and prices which are set without paying attention to socio-cultural conditions there.
