Shallot is one of the horticultural commodities which has a high economic value and potential in generating income for farmers. However, this commodity still has problems in supply chain including the low productivity, the non-optimal process of production up to marketing, and the occurrence of fluctuations in production and prices. The purpose of this research is to examine the physical structure and decision of shallot supply chain phenomenon in Majalengka Regency, West Java, and observe the model behavior to provide support in the development of shallot agribusiness cluster. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods with System Dynamics analysis. The results reveal that physical structure and decision of shallot supply chain shown in the behavior of model production that continues to increase although positioned under the growth of skilled farmers due to the non-optimal use of productive land, but it is supported by the large demand for shallot. However, shallot farmers in Majalengka still depend their market on wholesalers or collectors/traders due to the insistence of economic needs. Thus, to establish and strengthen the institutional such as cooperative is necessary to facilitate the more profitable interlacing market partnership.
