The theory used to analyze this research is the sosial capital theory of Pierre Bourdieu.This study used qualitative research methods. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results of the research conducted, it is known that the Pemalang honey pineapple distribution network is divided into two types, namely the distribution network of 3 aktors (pineapple farmers, collectors, and retailers) and the distribution network of 4 aktors (pineapple farmers, collectors, skipper, and retailer).
