Abstract

This study analyzes the economic feasibility of organic farming as part of sustainable agriculture in Indonesia. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 75 respondents consisting of organic farmers and stakeholders. A structured questionnaire with a Likert scale (1–5) was employed, and data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability testing, and multiple regression analysis. The results show that organic farming is economically feasible, with production costs, profitability, market access, and sustainability all exerting positive and significant influences on economic feasibility. The regression model explained 61.2% of the variance, with sustainability emerging as the strongest predictor, followed by profitability, production costs, and market access. These findings suggest that organic farming not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also provides tangible financial returns for Indonesian farmers. Policy implications highlight the need for government support in training, certification, market development, and financial incentives to strengthen the organic sector. The study concludes that organic farming can serve as a viable strategy for sustainable rural development in Indonesia, although challenges related to market access and certification remain.

Abstract

This study explores strategies for increasing the added value of agricultural products through the development of local agribusiness. A qualitative approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews with five key informants, including farmers, an agribusiness practitioner, a cooperative representative, and a local government official. The findings reveal that enhancing product value requires an integrated strategy encompassing product processing and diversification, branding and marketing innovation, technology adoption, farmer empowerment, and policy and institutional support. Farmers’ capacity building, supported by cooperatives and government programs, plays a crucial role in sustaining value-added initiatives. The study concludes that the development of local agribusiness not only increases the competitiveness and marketability of agricultural products but also contributes to rural economic growth and improved community welfare.

Abstract

The era of digital transformation has created significant opportunities and challenges for agribusiness micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in strengthening their competitive advantage through innovation and collaboration. This study aims to analyze the impact of supply chain innovation and market collaboration on the competitive advantage of agribusiness MSMEs using a quantitative approach. Primary data were collected from 155 respondents through a structured questionnaire measured using a five-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, including validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that supply chain innovation has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage, while market collaboration also shows a significant positive influence. Simultaneously, both variables contribute significantly to competitive advantage with an R² value of 0.610, indicating that 61.0% of the variance in competitive advantage is explained by the model. These findings highlight the importance of integrating innovative supply chain practices and strengthening collaborative networks to enhance business performance in the digital era. The study provides practical implications for policymakers and agribusiness practitioners in designing strategies that promote digital adoption, partnership development, and sustainable competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to map global research trends on digital transformation in agribusiness based on international publications indexed in Scopus during the period 2012–2025. Using a bibliometric approach and visual analysis through VOSviewer, this research examines publication growth, author and country collaboration networks, institutional linkages, and thematic evolution within the field. The results indicate a significant increase in scholarly output, reflecting growing academic and practical interest in the digitalization of agribusiness systems. Co-authorship and country collaboration analyses reveal strong regional hubs in Europe, Asia, and North America, with emerging participation from developing economies. Keyword co-occurrence and density visualizations identify digital transformation and agribusiness as the central intellectual pillars, closely linked with themes such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, precision agriculture, sustainability, food security, and digital economy. Overlay analysis demonstrates a temporal shift from foundational digital infrastructure and economic restructuring toward intelligent, AI-driven applications and smart agriculture systems. The study highlights the interdisciplinary consolidation of digital transformation research in agribusiness while identifying future research opportunities related to governance, digital capability development, inclusivity, and socio-economic impacts.
