Abstract

This research looks at how cooperatives and small businesses in Jambi City have helped improve the well-being of the community between the years 2020 and 2025. This study looks at how poverty and economic inequality continue to exist even though the country's economy has been growing in a positive way. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach, which focuses on understanding a phenomenon thoroughly by closely examining the actual situation. Studies show that cooperatives and small and medium-sized businesses help improve the well-being of communities by providing jobs, boosting income, and supporting the local economy. However, this contribution hasn't reached its fullest potential because of some challenges, like not having enough money to invest, not having skilled enough workers, not having good access to markets, and not using digital tools properly. This means that even though there are some improvements in community well-being, these benefits are not shared equally, and there are still big differences in wealth and income between different areas. So, to make cooperatives and small businesses play a bigger role in helping the community in a lasting way, it's important to strengthen institutions, train the workforce, and speed up the digital transformation process.

Abstract

Rising production costs have become a serious challenge for culinary Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Jambi City, particularly due to limited capital and competitive pressures that prevent business operators from raising selling prices directly. This study aims to analyze the impact of rising production costs on business operations and profitability, as well as to identify the adaptation strategies employed by culinary MSME operators in response to these conditions. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through semi- structured interviews with six culinary MSME operators in Jambi City, including sellers of Sate Padang, Gado-gado, Siomay, Batagor, Es Tebu, Es Pisang Ijo, and Es Doger. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, and data validity was verified through triangulation. The findings reveal that all business operators experienced a direct impact from rising production costs, particularly in plastic packaging, primary raw materials, and supporting materials, which ultimately led to a decline in daily net income. The adaptation strategies implemented include reducing product portions without raising prices, switching to more economical packaging, sourcing alternative suppliers, and utilizing social media as a promotional tool.
