Abstract

Madura is one of the islands that produce salt and contributes quite a lot to Indonesia. Therefore, Madura is known as the salt island. One of the salt-producing villages on the island of Madura is Karanganyar Village in Sumenep Regency. Limited capital is salt production’s main problem for salt farmers, thus making farmers involved in the debt bondage system in buying and selling salt. This study aims to describe, explain, and answer in more detail the problems of capital production in Karanganyar Village, Kalianget District, Sumenep Regency. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The study results show that capital loans from intermediaries with the debt bondage system greatly assist farmers in overcoming limited capital for the salt production process, even though the impact of the debt bondage system is detrimental to farmers.
