Abstract

The cattle trade system in rural livestock markets represents a complex socio-economic network shaped by interpersonal relationships, financial capital flows, and institutional arrangements. This study examines the socio-economic network of cattle trading in the Lili–Camplong Livestock Market, Kupang Regency, by integrating network-based economic perspectives and social entrepreneurship frameworks. The research adopts a qualitative interpretive approach grounded in methodological principles of mixed and qualitative research design (Cresswell, 2009). Data synthesis is derived exclusively from secondary literature focusing on socio-economic networks, social capital, and collaborative entrepreneurship systems.

Findings indicate that cattle trade in the Lili–Camplong market is sustained by multi-layered relational networks involving breeders, traders, intermediaries, and local institutions. These networks function not only as economic exchange systems but also as trust-based governance mechanisms that reduce transaction risks and market uncertainty. Social capital elements such as reciprocity, cooperation, and informal agreements significantly influence pricing mechanisms and market efficiency. However, structural inequalities, limited financial access, and asymmetrical bargaining power remain persistent challenges.

The study contributes to understanding rural livestock markets as hybrid socio-economic ecosystems where formal and informal institutions intersect. It further highlights the importance of collaborative entrepreneurship and community-based economic models in strengthening rural market resilience.
