Abstract
This research article presents the results of the development of the peanut traceability system according to TAS 4702-2014, the standard of National Bureau of Agricultural Commodity and Food Standards. This study using research and development method and the key informants were 10 of farmers, entrepreneurs, academic and agricultural extension officers. The key informants were selected from the purposive sampling method, data were analyzed by using a semi-structured interview and a qualitative method to analyze and interpret the results. The finding pointed out that the peanut supply chain is divided into 3 chains: 1) peanut farm management 2) peanut collection and quality inspection 3) peanut processing and distribution. Meanwhile, the data to support peanut industry supply chain is classified into 7 groups: 1) source of peanut seeds 2) farmers 3) peanut gathering 4) peanut bark factory 5) processing factory 6) laboratory and 7) retailers. The system analysis and design are presented by context diagram and data flow diagram. The system was evaluated by 37 stakeholders so the outcome evaluation provides average at a high level. The results of the system development, which assessed 37 stakeholders, found that the average level of satisfaction with the system was at a high level. The traceability system can be traced and tracked information of peanut production according to TAS 4702-2014.
