Abstract

Traditional pottery enterprises continue to face structural challenges that limit their ability to generate economic value, particularly in micro-scale, community-based settings where production relies heavily on manual techniques and tacit knowledge. These constraints often manifest in inefficient process design, uneven time allocation, and inconsistent quality control, all of which restrict value creation and weaken the economic resilience of artisans. Responding to these challenges, this study aims to examine how value is created within a traditional pottery production system and to assess whether targeted, context appropriate interventions can enhance value added without compromising artisanal identity. Using a production-oriented value chain approach, the research employs detailed observation, cost analysis, and semi structured interviews to map production activities and quantify value added across stages. This methodological combination enables a granular assessment of how specific production practices shape economic outcomes. The findings show that baseline value creation is weakly embedded in production activities and heavily dependent on extended labor input. Structural inefficiencies limit reinvestment capacity, particularly in drying and firing. However, targeted process improvements, including enhanced forming tools and controlled firing, significantly increased quality consistency and reduced defect rates. These interventions nearly doubled value added per production cycle while preserving traditional product characteristics. The study contributes to value chain scholarships by demonstrating the importance of production level granularity in informal manufacturing contexts. Practically, the results highlight the potential of modest, culturally aligned process improvements to strengthen productivity, income stability, and long-term sustainability in traditional craft industries.

Abstract

The global demand for patchouli oil as a raw material in the perfume industry is considerably high. However, the supply from exporting countries, particularly Indonesia, remains suboptimal. Aceh Province, one of Indonesia's key producers of patchouli oil, has been expanding its patchouli farming areas as a strategy to enhance productivity. Nevertheless, not all agricultural lands are suitable for patchouli cultivation. Therefore, it is essential to identify agricultural land resources that are ideal and sustainable for patchouli farming. The utilization of new potential lands could positively impact patchouli oil productivity. Land identification and mapping were carried out through observations and by utilizing candidate land indicator instruments. These indicators include land quality, land type, accessibility, land security systems, drainage systems, water sources, groundwater quality, and vulnerability to natural disasters. This article outlines the stages of community engagement activities conducted to identify the potential for patchouli farming in Teuladan Village, Lembah Seulawah Subdistrict, Aceh Besar Regency. The process involved program socialization, focus group discussions (FGDs), and interviews with farmers using candidate land surveys. The findings indicate that the agricultural land in Teuladan Village is suitable for sustainable patchouli cultivation. With the availability of ideal land and sufficient knowledge of proper patchouli cultivation practices, it is anticipated that high-quality patchouli oil can be produced. This will directly contribute to improving the welfare of the local community, particularly the farmers in Teuladan Village.
