The distribution process can be explained in more detail by using one of the “Accounting Information System” business processes called "Supply Chain". In the "Supply Chain" will be explained a clear sequence of spices began to be planted-harvested-merchant-consumers. An Accounting Information System framework which is consists of "input-process-outputs".

The Output (harvested Spices) are entering the Chain of “Supply Chain”; they are going to be marketed or distributed to consumers directly, or sent to middle traders, and or sent to the market. The Supply Chain is expected to be able to better known in detail the journey of "The Spice" to reach the consumer to be used as the main spice in cooking, along with the price that occurs and the relationship that occurs between producers, middle parties and consumers. This research was conducted using qualitative methods. The data processing technique by interviewing several important informants Spices are a priceless wealth of Indonesia.
