Abstract

Agricultural commodity prices are subject to significant volatility, driven by a complex interplay of economic, environmental, and geopolitical factors. This study employs a bibliometric approach to systematically analyze global research trends related to agricultural price fluctuations and policy responses. Drawing on 20 years of data from the Scopus database, we examine the evolution of key themes, influential authors, institutional collaborations, and geographical contributions within the academic literature. Using VOSviewer, keyword co-occurrence, temporal mapping, and authorship networks were visualized to reveal the intellectual structure of the field. The analysis identifies three dominant thematic clusters: sustainability and land-use dynamics, market and crop-specific price behavior, and policy interventions in agricultural trade. Results show a growing shift in recent years toward interdisciplinary research encompassing biofuels, supply chain resilience, energy linkages, and technological innovations. The United States, United Kingdom, China, and Brazil emerge as major contributors to the literature, with strong collaborative ties across regions. Despite the field’s diversity and maturity, the study highlights gaps in evaluating long-term policy effectiveness and the underrepresentation of low-income, agriculture-dependent nations. This review offers valuable insights to inform future research directions and guide more inclusive, data-driven policy frameworks for managing agricultural commodity price volatility.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of agribusiness partnership models and microcreation schemes on market access and their implications for the welfare of coffee farmers in East Java. Using a quantitative research approach with a sample of 200 coffee farmers, data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS 3.0. The results reveal that both agribusiness partnerships and microcreation schemes have a positive and significant effect on market access. Furthermore, market access was found to significantly improve farmer welfare, acting as a mediating variable between the independent variables and welfare outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of integrated rural development strategies that combine institutional collaboration, access to finance, and market facilitation. The study contributes to the understanding of sustainable agricultural development by highlighting how structured partnerships and financial inclusion can enhance market participation and economic resilience among smallholder farmers.

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

Chocolate is a processed product derived from cocoa beans that has undergone fermentation, drying, roasting, and grinding to produce high-quality cocoa powder. The processing of chocolate in a company involves many lengthy stages. Implementing a marketing mix is used as a technique to increase sales. The company needs to identify the superior products favored by consumers to develop priority marketing strategies. This study aims to analyze the application of the marketing mix in the chocolate industry and generate prioritized marketing strategies for the superior chocolate products produced by a company in Bali. The research method used is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results indicate that the marketing mix includes chocolate products such as chocolate cream, chocolate bars, and liquid chocolate. Product pricing depends on the form, with the most apparent pricing being for chocolate bars, calculated based on weight in grams. The production site is located at the main factory, which processes cocoa into chocolate cream, chocolate bars, and liquid chocolate, allowing consumers to experience the chocolate processing firsthand and try packaging chocolate at the factory. Chocolate promotion is continuously carried out through offline and online media, such as the company's website, which provides background information on chocolate production to the industry in Bali. The priority in chocolate marketing, based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process, is chocolate cream, followed by chocolate bars and liquid chocolate.

Abstract

Sibetan Village agrotourism has been open since 2003, but the hope is that tourists coming to Sibetan Village can increase the selling power of salak. In fact, tourists who visit agrotourism are not yet optimal consumers of the salak produced in Sibetan Village, so the salak produced during the main harvest cannot yet be fully marketed. . This condition requires assistance to groups in supporting agrotourism, especially strengthening human resources in Sibetan Village. The service was carried out in Sibetan Village, Banyakdem District, Karangasem Regency. Service is carried out using several methods, namely: Socialization, Training, Mentoring, Evaluation, Follow-up. The service involves 5 groups engaged in the production and marketing of salak fruit in Sibetan Village, these groups include: Dukuh Lestari Group, Kerta Semaya Group, Werdi Guna, Mekar Sari. The total number of group members is 118 people. The service activities showed that there was a change in the knowledge of group members in the field of marketing salak fruit, packaging and hygiene of products marketed in agro-tourism areas. Assistance provided to farmer groups in Sibetan Village shows that there has been a change in the group's skills in marketing products using online media, packaging salak and product hygiene reaching 80%. This is due to several obstacles faced by group members, such as their weak mastery of technology in using Android. There are not many properties for packaging snake fruit in Sibetan Village, and product hygiene is not commonly carried out during the snake fruit harvesting process. So further assistance is needed to overcome the obstacles faced by the group.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate development strategies for Subak Buluh as an agro-tourism destination in Baturiti Village, Kerambitan District, Tabanan Regency. Subak, as a traditional Balinese irrigation institution with strong socio-cultural values, plays a vital role in water management and agricultural sustainability. In response to contemporary challenges, subak must be developed not only as an agricultural institution but also as an alternative tourism attraction. Data were collected using purposive sampling from 78 respondents, consisting of 39 internal respondents (farmers and subak members) and 39 external respondents (tourists and local residents). Respondents exhibited diverse characteristics in terms of education level and occupation. SWOT analysis was employed to identify internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external opportunities and threats in the development of Subak Buluh agro-tourism. The results indicate that Subak Buluh’s main strengths include its natural landscape, cultural traditions and ceremonies, and fertile agricultural land. However, limitations such as insufficient internal funding and limited promotional activities remain key challenges. Promising development opportunities arise from village tourism programs and the growing global trend toward alternative tourism, while threats include tourist congestion and infrastructure degradation. This study provides strategic recommendations to support the sustainable development of Subak Buluh as an agro-tourism destination, contributing to local community welfare while preserving environmental and cultural sustainability

Abstract

The development of subak as a tourist attraction will be in line with the development of Balinese cultural tourism, considering that both are developed based on Balinese culture. This is an effort to maintain the sustainability of subak while controlling the conversion of paddy fields and supporting environmental sustainability. Today's tourists prefer to see beautiful scenery. Agrotourism is one type of tourism that utilizes agricultural business as a tourist attraction. One of the efforts made to continue to develop tourism but still maintain the existence of subak itself is to combine these two things into a new tourist attraction. The attraction that can be developed by combining tourism with agriculture is through the concept of agrotourism. Agrotourism is a tourism development that offers farmer activities in the fields as a tourist attraction. Not only the activities, but the use of agricultural products can also be used as agro-tourism-based tourism products. This research was conducted with the following objectives (1) How is the participation of farmers in the development of agro-tourism and (2) the factors that influence the participation of farmers on the development of agro-tourism. This research was conducted in Subak Jatiluwih, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency. The location of this research was determined purposively on the basis of the consideration that Jatiluwih Subak is one of the subaks targeted for agro-tourism development. The number of samples in Subak Jatiluwih is 199 people. The highest farmer participation is in the 80.2% agro-tourism development planning.
