Usaha Tradisional Gula Merah(Saka) Berbahan Baku Tebu Di Nagari Matua Hilia Kecamatan Matur Kabupaten Agam
Brown sugar in Indonesia is generally made from palm water, but as the supply of palm water decreases, processors have switched to granulated sugar as a raw material. In Agam Regency, people use sugar cane water as a raw material and call it "saka". The various types of brown sugar available are due to low processing technology and the consistency of the traditional process. In Agam Regency, although the brown sugar sector remains a promising livelihood, challenges arise because many elderly workers and the younger generation prefer to work outside the city. "Saka" production is carried out traditionally by utilizing animal power, which takes 6-8 hours per production. In addition, pest attacks such as monkeys and wild boars and bad weather can interfere with the growth of sugar cane, using the Structural Functional theory of Emile Durkheim and Talcott Parson. The technique for determining informants is the Purposive sampling technique. The subjects in this study were 4 people and had been running this business for more than 10 years. The results of the study indicate that social changes have occurred over time, where the traditional Saka making business has become a hereditary job in Nagari Matua Hilia experiencing decline due to factors such as lack of labor and raw materials that are difficult to obtain, so that a new strategy is needed that must be carried out by these Saka business actors.
Keywords: Business, Brown Sugar, Functional Structure, Society, Traditional.
