THE EFFECT OF THE PLASMA CORE SYSTEM AND CULTIVATION DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY ON THE INCOME OF TILAPIA FISH FARMERS IN EKA MARGA VILLAGE, LUBUKLINGGAU CITY

Abstract

The core-plasma system is a type of partnership introduced to improve production yields and competitive advantage for fish farmers. In this system, small-scale fish farmers collaborate with partners/plasma partners who provide technical support, capital, and market access. While this system offers opportunities, dependence on a second party can also pose risks. Lubuklinggau City is one of the cities with significant freshwater fisheries potential. One example is the Eka Marga Village in Lubuklinggau Selatan II District, home to numerous tilapia farmers. Eka Marga Village in Lubuklinggau City is a potential aquaculture area due to its supporting facilities and infrastructure, such as irrigation systems, land for pond construction, and production roads.
