Ethics in the Labor Market
Regarding the ethics that are performed in the labor market, we are going to look at
tit with Eden Farm’s perspective. Eden Farm is a B2b Food Supply Chain Company, they
distributes food ingredients from 5000+ Local Farmers to 50,000+ Culinary Businesses across
Indonesia. These Culinary Businesses ranges from High-class Restaurants to the smallest of
Warung that are spread across Indonesia in all its islands.
In the past, Indonesia has a very fragmented and high wastage food supply chin
which caused 9 major pain point to all stakeholders, resulting in a massive loss that could be
turned into profit from the wastes that are left. Indonesia uses a 3 step program for its food
supply chain. Starting from the supply, where it is considered a Fragmented Supply, which is
unorganized plantation & limited market access, only 30% of the product is edible and the
fragmentation in on the supply side. Next, The supply chain part has a Multi layered
Middleman, which has a low commitment, they are mostly in consignment mode and finally
their payment is not enough to even last them a month of food. The final step in the supply
chain is the Demand step, in Indonesia the way how these products that the farmer has
made is sold through the help of traditional markets which uses traditional Distribution.
Traditional Distribution has a volatile market price and low fullfilment, supply inconsistency
from various suppliers and significant ingredient wastage up to 30%.
Indonesia’s Employment status of their labor workers can be divided into 6 types,
those are; Self Employed, Employer assisted by temporary workers/unpaid worker, Employer
assisted by permanent workers/paid worker, Regular employee, Casual worker and Family
worker/unpaid worker. Self employed, works at her/his own risk without assisted by paid per
mount worker or unpaid worker include technical job or skill job. Employer assisted by
temporary workers/unpaid worker, works at her/his own risk and assisted by temporary
worker/unpaid worker. Employer assisted by permanent workers/paid worker does, his/her
business at her/his own risk at least one assisted by paid permanent worker. Regular
employee, works permanently for other people or institution/office/company and gains
some money/cash or goods as wage/salary. Casual worker, have no permanent employer is
not categorized as laborer/worker/employee. Family worker/unpaid worker, works for other
people without pay in cash or goods.
In any work environment, there can be no work that could happen without any work
agreement between the employer and the employee. If any kind of work activity happens
without any work agreement, there will be a probability that your employer will not pay
your hard work, due to no work agreement made in any kind of way. Another important
feature in a business, there should be partnership between two or more individual. In this
case, EdenFarm will need to have partnership with the farmers who create these products
that they have been farming in a specific period of time. However, not all of their product
can be sold, due to the farmers not using the most effective way to farm.
