Abstract: The objectives of the research were to identify the rice supply chain system and the actors involved from the producer to the consumer, to identify value-added activities carried out by each actor, and to calculate the added value obtained by each actor. The research was conducted using a survey method with questionnaires to gather the necessary data and information. The study respondents included farmers, farmer groups, traders, collectors, rice millers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. A value chain analysis was performed to obtain an overview of the rice supply chain system. The method used to analyze added value in the rice supply chain system was a participatory analysis approach. The analysis model employed was Economic Value Added analysis, which determines the economic value added of a product. The results of the research indicated that there are four supply chain channels within the rice supply system. Several actors are directly involved, including farmers, collectors, inter-regional grain traders, rice millers, local rice traders, inter-regional rice traders, retailers, and consumers. The value-added activities performed by each actor include threshing, drying, transportation, milling, bleaching, sieving, weighing, packaging, and storage. The highest added value received by actors was in supply channel 3, which accounted for 80.3%. In this channel, the distribution of added value among actors was as follows: farmers (24.2%), collectors (1.5%), rice millers (35.4%), inter-regional rice traders (13.1%), and retailers (6.2%). The largest recipients of added value are rice millers, while collectors receive the smallest share.
