Abstract

Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives and SMEs (DITCS) of Riau has an important role in supporting 631,347 groups of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in various fields such as handicrafts, batik, songket, and food and beverages. Many MSME merchants still market their products traditionally through the neighborhood and word of mouth, while online marketing faces a big challenge because they have to compete with well-known brands, making them difficult to develop and grow their business. To overcome these problems, an Android-based application “LaKu” was developed that aims to help MSME merchants in expanding their marketing reach and increasing their competitiveness in Riau. The development of this application uses the Extreme Programming (XP) method which consists of four main steps: Planning, Design, Code, and Testing. The development results show that the “LaKu” application can be an effective digital marketing platform, helping MSMEs in promoting products more widely without having to compete directly with big brands. With this application, MSMEs are able to increase competitiveness and contribute to local economic growth in Riau Province.

Abstract

The increasing demand for functional and health-oriented dairy products has positioned goat milk agro-enterprises as a promising business sector, particularly in emerging economies. Despite this potential, many goat milk businesses face persistent challenges related to production inefficiency, high operational costs, and limited scalability. This study aims to examine the impact of smart processing machines on business efficiency in goat milk agro-enterprises. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from small and medium-sized goat milk processing enterprises and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that smart processing machine adoption has a positive and significant effect on business efficiency, including cost efficiency, productivity, and operational effectiveness. The findings indicate that smart processing machines function not merely as technological tools but as strategic business resources that enhance operational performance and competitiveness. This study contributes to the business and agribusiness literature by providing empirical evidence at the production-machine level and highlighting the strategic value of smart manufacturing technologies in small-scale agro-enterprises. The findings offer practical insights for business owners, policymakers, and technology developers in promoting sustainable and efficient goat milk processing businesses.

Abstract

The mushroom industry plays an increasingly important role in the agri-food sector due to rising demand for nutritious, functional, and sustainable food products. However, the mushroom supply chain faces significant challenges related to perishability, short shelf life, and demand uncertainty, which often result in inventory losses and inefficiencies. This study examines the role of big data analytics capability in enhancing demand forecasting accuracy and its impact on supply chain performance within the mushroom industry. Using a quantitative explanatory research design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey of mushroom supply chain actors, including producers, processors, distributors, and retailers. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that big data analytics capability has a significant positive effect on demand forecasting accuracy and supply chain performance. Furthermore, demand forecasting accuracy partially mediates the relationship between big data analytics capability and supply chain performance. These findings highlight the strategic importance of data-driven forecasting in managing demand uncertainty and improving operational efficiency in perishable agribusiness supply chains. This study contributes to the literature by extending big data analytics and demand forecasting research to the mushroom industry, providing both theoretical insights and practical implications for enhancing supply chain sustainability and competitiveness.
