II. METHODOLOGY
Gereffis concept
First, producers commodity chain exist where the
site of production is relatively immobile and so
production agglomerates in favoured locations.
Second, buyers from commodity chain exist where
is greater mobility.
In the case, the value added by industrial
production tends to be low, at least compared to
buyers commodity chains.

IV. CONCLUSION
1. The numbers of the poor have increased
both absolutely and proportionally, the distance
below the poverty line has also intensified. The
main factor causes the rural poor is
commodities market fluctuating prices. The
market fluctuations have adversely affected the
rural poor.

2. Farmers must prepare one solution to surpass

the fluctuating price which the solution exists in
farmers side. the solution uses a method of
commodity pawning. If the market situation
happes the bad price, the farmers can pawn the
commodity. If a moment the good price will
happen, the farmers receive the rest of the money
that depends on the last price. In research the
mechanism of pawning in horticulture
commodities is defined as the logistics receipts

3. For logistics receipts, the farmers need a

legal business organization/cooperative. The
legal business organization is needed because a
prerequirement of banking system to be
collaborating in the payment /collateral system.
The farmers can organize from the farmers
group to the cooperative.
