Mr. Usro

"What's a subscriber, Mir?" Ask Mr. Usro while settling towards his grandson.

"Yes that's the cake....! hard to explain. photos first dong kang Fathan, later let me show off with friends at school." Mirna answered while glancing at Fathan.

"Can...!" said Fathan while smiling, because it was the first time there were people who asked for such a photo, like an artist who is being loved by his fans.

Mirna was seen removing the phone, then they took photos together. After taking pictures with the farmer, Mirna also asked for permission to re-enter the house.

"That means Kang Fathan is already very famous yes, until my grandson can recognize Akang...!" Praise Mr. Usro to break the silence of the atmosphere.

"Who..! Not really sir, maybe it just so happens that my granddaughter often watches my YouTube channel, so she knows me."

"Oh so..! We go back to the point of our problem. Akang's purpose and purpose to meet me what is it? you know, I'm worried, afraid there's something really important!"

"Look sir, I am with the members of the vegetable basket now working with the supermarket in Sukabumi City, to supply vegetables. because some of my members, break away. So that the vegetable needs needed by the supermarket are reduced, because of the limited space Tani.I mean and purpose come here, I want to invite the cooperation of the residents of Ciparay Village, to become a supplier of vegetables to the supermarket. And why did I meet the Father, because when I stopped by the stall. According to Si Bibi, I should go to the father, to talk about this problem, because all villagers always sell vegetables to the father," explained Fathan at length so that it can be understood by Usro.

"So..! but if to become a supermarket supplier, Is Kampung vegetables here can go there, because you know the supermarket applies high quality to us, so that our vegetables enter their place of business."

"It's like that sir, but even so all the quality of vegetables must be the same, which distinguishes only packaging or selection of goods."

"So what does Kang Fathan mean to come to you, what for? Sorry if I don't understand, because my understanding is already Sepuh, so not too responsive." Ask Mr. Usro while smiling.

"About, you would not cooperate with me, to be a supermarket supplier."

"If I want to Kang! that would be a pride for the farmers in Ciparay Village, since their farms could get into the supermarket."

"If you want, may I see a sample of agricultural products of Ciparay Village residents, so that I can determine what qualifications, when later we cooperate."

"Oh very much! if Akang wants, I happen to have bought some agriculture to sell to the market.later please Akang check what kind of agriculture can go into the supermarket, after knowing only then we talk about cooperation."

"When can we check the farm, sir?"

"Now too," replied Mr. Usro.

"Well, let's go!" Take Fathan who looks excited.

"Let's Kang Fathan drink first! eat the banquet first! but I apologize if there is anything lacking! we live in the village."

"Ah..., same as sir! I am also a village person," said Fathan, taking a drink and then he took a sip, then took a delicious steamed banana, while continuing to accompany small talk about cooperation with the supermarket.

After eating the banquet served by Mr. Usro, Fatan and Asep were invited by the host to check the farm, but when they were about to leave Mirna who had been watching from the inside, he also wanted to join, according to his confession he wanted to capture a moment of togetherness with his idol, until finally they walked towards the garden.

Arriving in the garden, Fathan began to look at the vegetables that were widely spread there, he began to explain the specifications that must be met by farmers, when their vegetables want to enter the supermarket.

Although the results were not satisfactory, but Fathan was relieved because in the village there were many farms that could be chosen and entered the specifications of vegetables that could be sold in supermarkets, although Fatan could not accommodate all the vegetables produced by the people of Ciparay Village after they controlled the vegetables, Fathan and Pak Usro returned home.

"How's it?" asked Mr. Usro after they sat in the terrace room.

"As I said earlier, that not all can enter the qualification of vegetables that must be taken to the supermarket, maybe you also better understand which vegetables are worthy to enter, which vegetables are not worth it."

"If you agree to enter into a cooperation agreement to jointly supply vegetables to the supermarket, I will offer a profit that will not make you refuse, I only ask for 25% of the profits from the sale of vegetables father."

"But what are the advantages, if my vegetables are put into the supermarket?" Ask Mr. Usro while staring at the farmer.

"When Vegetables go into the supermarket, the price tends to be stable will not go down, and if it goes down it will not be like in a market where the price is very plummeting.So as soon as the price drops in the supermarket, the price drops, it will not be the same when it drops in the market. The farmer has nothing to lose even maybe it can for."

"So the farmers will never lose, if the agricultural products are put into the supermarket?" ask Mr. Usro to make sure.

"Yes...! But we must keep the quality, so they can continue to sell fresh vegetables, good vegetables and healthy. because as we already know the price will not lie the quality of the goods," fathan answered explaining.

"If the price of tomatoes is paid how much, when the tomatoes were purchased by the market only Rp5,000. if sold to the supermarket how much?"

"If in the supermarket the price can be Rp20,000-Rp25,000, the price can be many times the market price but there is a shortage when the market price rises, we will not enjoy the increase, we will not enjoy the increase, because we are already bound by a predetermined price contract, which has been agreed."

"Lumayan also yes, if the comparison is up to 400%" responded Mr. Usro who looks interested.

"Yes sir, but when the market experienced a high surge but we remain the same ie Rp20,000. it is the most expensive price ever in the market, he said, so we have nothing to lose but we just don't profit" Fathan explained.

"When can you send vegetables to the supermarket, what?" asked Usro as if impatient.

"Father just send the agricultural products of the citizens to me, but I will sort it first, separate which ones enter, which ones do not. the rest you can just bring to the market, he said, let's keep it profitable and we don't get glued to the supermarket. And don't throw away the farm."

"Oh yes about profit sharing, if I make a profit of 10,000, then Kang Fathan takes 2500 so?"

"True sir, That's also if you agree. because as you know I still need travel accommodation, from sukadarma village to Sukabumi city. So that I need a division of the proceeds of what you can."

"True, Means before I bring to the market.I first bring my agricultural products to the village sukadarma.later the rest just brought to the market?" ask Mr. Usro to make sure.

"Yes, so sir! later I do a careful check, so that the vegetables you send, not scuffed and not mushy.I will be as careful as possible, so that you can, in order to keep the condition of your vegetables when brought to the market is still fresh.

"Well if it is like that, but the division of income is not so, we divide, I 70 for 30% Fathan kang. let Mr. Fatan also make a profit, Do not just work, because with 70% I've benefited many times."

"Thank you so much sir for his help and willingness to join my farm, hopefully this cooperation can be well established!"

"When should I send my farm to sukadarma village?" Ask Mr. Usro who has not received an answer.

"Just from tomorrow, you usually send to Sukabumi City at what time?"

"I usually send to the city after dawn, if there are farmers who harvest the afternoon."

"Well, that's better...! so as much as possible early in the morning you have arrived there. later I will Explain again How the details, so that you understand more."

"Good kang Fatan! Thank you for the offer," said Mr. Usro while issuing a hand as a form of their cooperation agreement.

Next, the three of them chatted aloud, ngidul. But the discussion is not far with the cooperation they want to build, to together become a supermarket supplier.

At about 05.00 pm Fathan and Asep said goodbye, bringing a relieved and happy heart, because every problem they faced was always a way out.
