Natural Batik based worm Liar


TEMPO Interactive, Yogyakarta: was, cocoon, or wild silk worm cocoon of many scattered in the rural areas in Yogyakarta often wasted community. At most ulatnya eaten a human, and chicken kupunya made food.

But now not anymore. Cocoon cocoon-maternity look that has become a valuable thread and cloth to millions of rupiah. Overall creativity thanks to 41 people in the company crafter crafts PT Yarsilk Gora Mahottama.

Yarsilk leader, Ratu Gusti Kanjeng Pembayun, explains that the company is in the business of processing spicy cocoon, yarn making, processing and various crafts. "Wild silk cocoon is a special type," said the eldest daughter of Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X to Tempo in Jakarta, Wednesday.

Wild silk cocoon is Pembayun Attacus and is the type of Criculla. Unlike the silk worm cocoon cultivation who live in tree murbei, silk worm in the wild living natural inangnya trees, like mahogany, cashew nuts, sirsak, and avocado.

Benefits of the wild silk worm pupa is also mentioned in the results of research professor of the Faculty of Biology University of Gadjah Mada, J. Situmorang, in 1995. He found more color silk wild natural coloring and does not need anymore.

Criculla original color is yellow gold, brown and Attacus. Colors of this depends on each tree inangnya. Other advantages, if the clothes are made, does not cause itching, no fever, is able to absorb sweat, and more delicate.

The findings that trigger Pembayun way through the business establishment Yarsilk, located at Jalan Ahmad Dahlan, Yogyakarta, in 1998 with initial capital to Rp 500 million.

Yarsilk production activity started on 1 June 1999 with a pilot to make the garden has its own land in 2002 in the Village Karangtengah, Bantul. Located in the southern area of 55 hectares of Yogyakarta, the local people treated with 100 families transmigrants.

Land is managed by the Royal Silk Foundation, which collaborated with Yarsilk. At the Royal Foundation, Pembayun a builder, while the head is Fitriana Kuroda, who is the Director of Marketing Yarsilk.

In a day Yarsilk buy a cocoon from residents of 3 kilograms, or approximately 7500 fruit cocoon. One kilogram sewings Attacus valued Rp 1.5 million. The 1 kg yarn Criculla dibanderol Rp 1.7 million. "Our goal is to export to Japan," said Pembayun.

To achieve that, Yarsilk craftsman-led team of experts from Japan, from research to making yarn. "We assume, if it is received in Japan, certainly in other countries more easily," he said. Now Yarsilk have showroom in Tokyo, Japan.

In a month, about 20-23 kilogram wild silk yarn has been sent to Japan. Until there, the yarn is processed into cloth for kimono made. "According to the Japanese people, the quality of the kimono is a good keawetannya can be up to 50 years," he said.

A cloth woven from wild silk threads can exist with the motif batik cloth directly from the appliance. That's thanks to the benefits of the wild silk cocoon than the color of shiny, has a unique gradation line.

He was steady as the Japanese market mainly. The reason, a new state that can mengapresiasi their products. "Not just to be, the Japanese also mengapresiasi of the art products," said Pembayun.

Consumers in Yogyakarta and Indonesia have not been many. However, Yarsilk thread is still needed to sell consumers in the country to create various crafts and stola from wild silk yarns.

Company Pembayun able to create a thread of 25 kilograms in a month. One kilogram cocoon can produce yarn about 10 meters. The remaining yarn to make use of export products marketed in Indonesia itself, as stola, cloth, and various crafts.

Pembayun explains, there are two reasons that drive business Yarsilk choose silk spinning wildly. First, they want to take advantage of the valuable goods during this terabaikan, as well as open the opportunity for farmers to get additional revenue.

Second, the product is environmentally friendly. That is, none of the animals sacrificed insects. The whole process take place naturally. Namely, after the cocoon is a butterfly, then pelindungnya (sutranya) will fall.

Products produced from raw material cocoon silk worm is quite a lot, as displayed in the exhibition hall Ahmad Dahlan. In the ancient building, which was used as a Dutch colony city hall, there is a variety of handicrafts with a variety of forms.

For example, bags, books, umbrella cover, partition the room, fabric, kimono, OBI or fastening on the waist kimono, and clothes. Price craft around Rp 15 to Rp 300 thousand thousand. Various bags Rp 60-380 ribu. While the cloth could reach Rp 500 thousand per meter.

Yarsilk making products at this time are non-mass production, production capacity is so limited. "Because we want good quality, not the number of products," said Pembayun.

Constraints faced Yarsilk is a high selling price because the production process is very long and complicated. Regard, she also makes the lack of consumer interest in Indonesia.

Other challenges, both types of silk worm cocoon that only during the rainy season. As a result, Yarsilk must always berton-ton stockpile of raw materials in the season to bring the needs of production during the nine months. "Do not worry, silk yarn can hold up to tens of years," he said.

TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Rain has not let up at Tempo menyambangi residence Sarwani, on Wednesday last week. Two were children, women 48 years old is busy moving wet cassava crackers that are dried to the shade. Bale-bale in the back of the house is full. They compete with the fast rain downpours mengguyur inland areas of Aceh Besar that.

Cassava is the main raw material of crackers Sarwani be produced since the 1980s. "If the rain continues, the production will fail, cassava crackers must be wet," said Sarwani.

He is getting raw materials from the residents around. A 50 kilogram sack size dibelinya worth Rp 85 ribu. Cassava crackers produced cassava based raw materials, flour, and salt. Initial production, peeled parsnip. Once washed, and then mashed with the engine rasp. After that, the dough is mixed with flour and salt.

Then the mixture is wrapped with plastic thigh was wrapped up like adults lontong, and steamed until cooked. After cooking, the cushiony material is to be sliced thin plate-shaped. "Then dried up, dry, and that kerupuknya. Before eaten, fried first," explains Sarwani.

Cot Suwe in the Village, Kemukimam Lam Pakuk, Kuta Cot Glie District, Aceh Besar, he is not the only people who produce cassava crackers. But Sarwani recognized as a pioneer of this business. Although born in the village, her parents are immigrants from East Java. They were farmers.

There are no special skills and knowledge obtained by previous Sarwani. Everything started from the try-try. Production at the beginning of the business in the 1980s is also small. "Formerly, one pound of crackers only Rp 500," he said. He continues to produce, despite the conflict in Aceh heat 1998-2004.

Slowly, activity followed his brothers in the village. Production of cassava crackers increasingly crowded. Everything is done manually. Engine rasp of a new premium fuel used in 1997, when the flow of electricity entering the village.

Cassava crackers made Sarwani restless easily can be found in the markets and Seulimum Lambaro, Aceh Besar. From there, ubinya chips to Banda Aceh, which is only 3 kilometers from the Lambaro. Automatic, crackers ubinya only in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar.

Capital is insufficient to make out the bulk of production and marketing is very limited. He did not want to borrow capital from banks. Interest loan to make a big Sarwani not dare take the risk. "Scared can not restore it later," he said.

However, earlier this year approached goddess Fortuna. Loan capital comes from Qatar Charity Indonesia Aceh branch. Institutions that choose Sarwani as one of four beneficiaries of economic empowerment program in 2008 for the project of making crackers. The amount is small. Groups only get Rp 5 million. Divided by 10 people, Sarwani kebagian Rp 500 ribu. Funds must be returned in time a year, without interest.

But lumayanlah. Since an additional capital of Qatar Charity, Sarwani able to increase its daily production volume. Meanwhile, prior to receiving assistance Sarwani only able to process 40 kg of cassava, this time he can spend 60 kg of cassava per day.

With omzet like that, he confessed only meraup net profit of Rp 2-3 million per month. Some ditabung money and other consumables for daily needs. "With cassava crackers, our life. We want this business great," he said.
