Abstract

Aim: This study aims to analyze the value chain and measure the added value generated by a small-scale goat milk processing enterprise (Kefir Jember) in producing goat milk kefir drinks and kefir facial masks.Method: A descriptive quantitative method was applied, using value chain analysis and the modified Hayami method to evaluate the economic contributions of primary and supporting activities. Data collection involved direct observation, structured interviews with open-ended questionnaires, and analysis of production and financial records.Findings: The findings reveal that Kefir Jember successfully integrates key primary activities, such as sourcing, production, and marketing, along with supporting activities including infrastructure, human resource training, and simple technology use. The added value calculation demonstrated significant profitability, especially for kefir facial masks, which generated substantially higher added value compared to kefir drinks. These results highlight the economic benefits of diversifying goat milk products into innovative health and cosmetic items.Significance: The study provides valuable insights for micro-scale agro-enterprises on how strategic value chain management and product diversification can significantly enhance profitability. Practically, these findings could guide similar small-scale businesses in improving operational efficiency, product competitiveness, and sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

Background: Agroindustrial enterprises play a vital role in strengthening rural economies and creating value-added agricultural products. In Indonesia, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) producing processed fruit snacks, such as jackfruit chips, face persistent challenges related to resource management, production efficiency, and fluctuating market demand. Addressing these issues requires systematic tools for evaluation and decision-making. Aims: This study aims to assess the business feasibility of UD Matrix Jaya, an agroindustrial enterprise producing jackfruit chips, and to propose strategic development recommendations through the integration of a Decision Support System (DSS). Methods: A mixed-method descriptive design was employed, combining financial and non-financial feasibility analyses. Primary data were collected through interviews and structured questionnaires with business owners, while secondary data were obtained from company records. The DSS-UMKM v.2.0 framework was utilized to evaluate six dimensions: legal, marketing, production, management and human resources, environmental, and financial aspects. Results: Findings reveal that legal, production, and environmental aspects achieved a moderate level of feasibility, while marketing scored high. Conversely, management and human resources were rated low. Financial analysis demonstrated viability with positive Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) exceeding the discount rate, and a feasible Payback Period (PP). Overall, the DSS evaluation confirmed that the enterprise is suitable for further development. Conclusion: The integration of DSS provides a structured mechanism for SMEs to overcome multidimensional challenges in agroindustry. For UD Matrix Jaya, strategic priorities include strengthening managerial capacity, enhancing workforce quality, and optimizing production processes alongside marketing innovation. These measures are expected to improve competitiveness, ensure sustainability, and serve as a model for similar enterprises in emerging economies. By bridging technological decision-making tools with agroindustrial development, this research contributes to advancing sustainable agribusiness practices and supports policy directions toward empowering rural-based SMEs in Indonesia.
