Always Glorious of My Jepara
Monday, August 31, 2009
Wood carving has become idioms of Raden Ajeng Kartini's birth, and even no other city worth mentioning for the equivalent of Jepara furniture industry dun carving. This commodity is a heritage craft that have a high economic value and has become a superior product, both in Central Java as well as national, At that time, product exclusivity with classic and modern characters with high artistic value is supported by innovation in production techniques and the provision of equipment and raw materials , could be a plus point Jepara furniture carves products.
Not to mention the still limited local players (other areas) in this field increasingly popular cause of Jepara furniture, even in 63 countries across five continents. Backed by the power of about 80,000 craftsmen. furniture industry has become one of the drivers in the real sector of the district known as Kartini this earth.
But, Current conditions have been much different. Furniture industry in Jepara began less sound echo. may even be likened to a dead faint. There are some things that we can examine, if we analyze why this happened, namely:
First, the availability of raw materials. despite having a relatively extensive forest, was the raw material for furniture making are many other imported from Jepara. This of course caused the price of raw materials are relatively expensive. not to mention the time Perhutani raise the offer price auction (HPL) and the basic price (HJD) in the range of wood that does not make sense, like the present. The increase is set in the decree reached 23.2%. There are at least four reasons why an increase in wood prices is perceived as a heavy thing; 1) the increase was made during conditions of market competition is intense and product competitiveness Indonesia decreased; 2) conducted a sudden increase in the number of magnitude increase high enough. 3) increase without Sosialisasi. confirmation and klarifkasi; and (4) increase in the basic price and auction hurga people's purchasing power exceeds furniture industry players. so megakibatkan business behavior that is not healthy.
Second, the limited ability and motivation of the perpetrators of the business (kopetensi employment). There is a tendency for being the business (a hereditary, then the makers less motivated to develop their skills. The ability possessed by the craftsmen are relatively standard, coupled with their ability to learn very, very little. This condition causes one Jepara furniture industry stagnated.
Third. problems in the field of technology. Condition that occurs industrial machinery old old furniture and left with a furniture industry technology developments. As a result, the performance of the furniture industry, particularly small and medium scale is not efficient and effective. This in turn affect the level of industrial competitiveness in the world furniture industry competition. For example, the machine side timber penghalus (planner) and machine timber ptofil (moulder). The machines are still using the old manual technology while new itu.mesin mainly lebh using high technology, including computerized systems.
Fourth, the design problem. Another problem that also makes the furniture industry does not have high competitiveness is the furniture business, especially at the level of craftsmen, not knowing perkermbangam product design and furniture trends developing in the world market. In fact, the future of the furniture industry also ditentukankan by the extent to which the design can be developed. During this. product produced from time to time only that-that's all. The craftsman brackets dare to innovate, especially in these times of folklore issues affecting Jepara furniture industry while others, has led to the craftsmen phobia, so mcreka tend to make the same design from time to time.
Fifth, related to product quality. Limited capacity rnanusia resources. technology and design eventually led to the quality of Jepara furniture down. In fact, if these limitations can be managed well, indusiri furniture abroad. such as China. will be very confused. Given the generally high real in terms of precision, wood coating kekutan connection, and carvings, the famous furniture Indonesia has the advantage if dibandingakn with Chinese furniture. the mcngandalkan indusiri
mass.
Related to the above problems, real opportunities in the Jepara furniture industry to come back "flying" is still open. In this year, the government is targeting exports of furniture and handicraft products nationally by 15%. Jepara regency as one of the old players in the arena permebelan expected to capture this opportunity. One effort that can be done is to increase the campaign to expand market share. Unluk that as many as 35 companies in the field of furniture manufacturing and handicrafts (craft) from Jepara, in this month following the International funiture and Craft Fair Indonesia (IFFINA (7-11 dated March)) in Jakarta and Asian Furniture Show (AFS) and the International Furniture Fair Singapore (IFFS) in Singapore, on 9-12 March. In IFFINA, this is a pertma participation, while the AFS / IFFS is the fifth keikutsrtaan.
Other opportunities that could have been used is the establishment of Jepara Trade and Tourism Center. The hope, in this place buyers can get information about various things about Jepara, including inforrmasi about indusirinya. This is of course in accordance with the functions performed by JTTC. namely as promotion centers, design centers, clinics Intellectual Property and tourism information center.
Finally, in the midst of the emergence challenges players - new players, both at the local level. Blora and Wonogiri as well as international such as China, Vietnam, and Malaysia, cooperation and hard work from all parties for the Jepara furniture mcngembalikan position in national and international arena is very, very necessary. Hopefully this year is in the hands siding craftsman / entrepreneur Jepara furniture
