ABSTRACT
Rice commodity is a staple food product that is generally needed by the community, especially in times of natural disasters like a Covid-19 pandemic. The high public demand for rice commodity can cause the issue of the possibility of food scarcity related to the stock or quantity of rice along the rice supply chain. Some of the problems due to the pandemic include obstacles to the chain distribution channels and limited human resources which have hampered the flow of rice products, especially in the Jabodetabek area. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology and information system that are integrated between all chain actors to maintain and mitigate the problems. The aim of this study is to model a traceability system in rice supply chain to mitigate the risk of food scarcity during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method through in-depth interviews and literature studies to make a rice supply chain traceability system model with Unified Modeling Language. In addition, the traceability system model is also divided into four main activities: unhulled rice production and distribution activity by farmers or farmers group (gapoktan) and middleman, processing activities by the processing industry, rice distribution and logistics activities by distributors, retailers and Bulog, and the last is traceability system activities by the chain consumers.
Keywords: rice supply chain network, traceability system, unified modeling language.
