Abstract

This research proposal examines the business development strategy of Haratea, an innovative herbal tea product derived from banana leaves (Musa paradisiaca) a part of the banana plant traditionally regarded as non-commercial waste. Applying a zero waste economy framework, this study aims to analyze the economic value-added potential of transforming banana leaves into high-value herbal products for domestic and international markets. A qualitative descriptive approach with a single case study design is employed, focusing on the Haratea enterprise located in Kairagi, Mapanget District, Manado City, North Sulawesi. Data are collected through participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and financial document analysis. Preliminary findings indicate that banana leaves contain significant bioactive compounds including flavonoids, tannins, and polyphenols with notable scientifically documented health benefits. Through controlled-temperature drying using a food dehydrator and hygienic teabag packaging, Haratea successfully created strong market differentiation with positive consumer responses at its pilot sale in Mantos 3 Bazaar, Manado. Financial projections indicate a first-year net profit of IDR 19,958,730 with 5% annual growth, reaching IDR 29,249,621 in the fifth year (2030). This research is expected to demonstrate that a zero waste approach leveraging local natural resources constitutes an economically viable, socially impactful, and environmentally responsible business strategy for micro and small enterprises in Indonesia.
