Dynamic of behavior of the small and medium scale fisheries traders in Cilincing District, North Jakarta encountered the pandemic of Covid-19
Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic occurred in early 2020, precisely at the end of February. The Covid-19 pandemic is a global problem, prompting the government to implement a large-scale Social Restriction (PSBB) policy. This policy certainly has an impact on business continuity. One of them is a small-scale fishing community group that is feeling the impact of the covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Small-scale fishing businesses are fishermen with fleet users under 10 GT. Although they have a normal marine routine or no change, some problems are found when there is a decrease in sales and build-up of catches. This issue supports the reason why research is done. The research was conducted in July 2020, with the location of Cilincing District, North Jakarta. Data retrieval techniques are conducted in-depth interviews, while data analysis is done qualitatively supported by quantitative data. The analysis shows that the dynamics of small-scale and middle scale fishery marketers’ behavior in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic are a) Lowering the price of fresh fish and b) Selling fresh fishes to fishery business of salted fish processor
