Abstract

Penelitian ini mengkaji dinamika sosial ekonomi buruh perkebunan kakao di Kecamatan Cipeundeuy, Kabupaten Bandung Barat, sejak berdirinya PT. Bajabang pada 2002 hingga peralihan pengelolaan ke PT. Pasir Ucing Timur pada 2019. Perubahan manajemen tidak hanya berdampak pada sistem produksi, kesejahteraan, dan pola hidup buruh, tetapi juga mendorong mereka untuk menunjukkan agensi melalui berbagai strategi bertahan hidup. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode historis dengan pendekatan sosialekonomi melalui studi pustaka, arsip perusahaan, serta wawancara mendalam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada masa pengelolaan PT. Bajabang, kondisi sosial ekonomi buruh mengalami fluktuasi, dengan stabilitas pada periode awal namun memburuk pada masa akhir ditandai keterbatasan pendapatan, status kerja yang tidak pasti, dan akses minim terhadap jaminan sosial. Setelah beralih ke PT. Pasir Ucing Timur, kondisi ekonomi relatif membaik melalui kenaikan upah dan kepesertaan BPJS, meskipun tantangan berupa pengurangan tenaga kerja dan keterbatasan lapangan kerja alternatif tetap ada. Dalam situasi ini, buruh tidak pasif, melainkan berupaya mengembangkan strategi adaptif seperti pekerjaan sampingan, pengelolaan pengeluaran rumah tangga, serta perjuangan menyekolahkan anak-anak mereka lebih tinggi dibanding generasi sebelumnya. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa buruh bukan hanya objek dari kebijakan perusahaan, melainkan aktor aktif yang menentukan arah kehidupan sosial ekonominya. This study examines the socio-economic dynamics of cocoa plantation workers in Cipeundeuy District, West Bandung Regency, from the establishment of PT. Bajabang in 2002 to the transfer of management to PT. Pasir Ucing Timur in 2019. The change in management not only affected production systems, welfare, and workers’ lifestyles but also encouraged them to demonstrate agency through various survival strategies. This research employs the historical method with a socio-economic approach, drawing on literature studies, company archives, and in-depth interviews. The findings show that during the management of PT. Bajabang, workers’ socio-economic conditions experienced fluctuations, with relative stability in the early period but a decline toward the end, marked by limited income, insecure employment status, and minimal access to social security. Following the transition to PT. Pasir Ucing Timur, the economic conditions improved through wage increases and BPJS participation, although challenges such as workforce reductions and limited alternative employment opportunities persisted. In this situation, workers were not passive; instead, they developed adaptive strategies such as engaging in side jobs, managing household expenditures, and striving to provide higher education for their children compared to the previous generation. Thus, this study highlights that workers are not merely objects of company policies but active agents in shaping their socioeconomic lives.
