Abstract

The notion of rural industrialization and how it can enhance the economic growth of small industries is still an issue that needs attention especially by policy makers. This study seeks to build understanding, knowledge and awareness on how leveraging technological innovations will help build strong rural industrialization and bring positive changes especially to the economic performance of small industries in rural areas. In this study, questionnaires were distributed to 127 participants consisting of small agro-industry entrepreneurs in Tasikmalaya district, a pilot project area for small agro-industry development in West Java. SPSS version (24.0) was used for data analysis. The findings of this study show that 58% of small agro-industry entrepreneurs have successfully adopted better technology than the generation before them, which has had positive implications for increasing their business profitability over the past three years. Policies designed can focus on improving the quality of corporate capital (economic capital, social capital and human capital) which is expected to be able to bridge the problems faced by small agro-industries in rural areas.

Abstract

While the number of female-gendered small industry entrepreneurs is growing, research in this area has not kept pace. This article critically reviews the current situation of women entrepreneurs in rural areas. We analyze the social, cultural, organizational and individual barriers that women entrepreneurs may face. This study interviewed 23 women entrepreneurs who own small agro-industries in Tasikmalaya district, a pilot project area for small agro-industry development in West Java. Our findings show that self efficacy is a common individual problem among rural women entrepreneurs, in addition to their suboptimal organizational capacity. Meanwhile, social and cultural barriers are currently minimal in rural areas. To improve self-efficacy, a personal approach is needed in the form of training, mentoring, and social support. Meanwhile, to improve organizational capacity, it is necessary to strengthen structural aspects such as management, technology, networking, and financing. We argue for the need to adopt more critical approaches, such as feminist discourse analysis and critical socio-technological perspectives to inform future research, and explain various phenomena related to women's entrepreneurship that have not been adequately studied.

Abstract

Diversifikasi konsumsi pangan merupakan salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan ketahanan pangan dan mengurangi ketergantungan pada jenis pangan tertentu, khususnya di wilayah perkotaan. Namun, kurangnya keterampilan mengolah pangan alternatif menjadi kendala dalam penerapannya. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan kesadaran masyarakat perkotaan dalam memanfaatkan pangan alternatif, termasuk bahan pangan yang selama ini dianggap sebagai limbah. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Kelurahan Antapani Tengah Kecamatan Antapani Kota Bandung, dengan melibatkan 25 orang anggota PKK. Kegiatan pelatihan dilaksanakan dengan metode ceramah dan praktek. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan ini cukup efektif untuk mendorong diversifikasi konsumsi masyarakat perkotaan, dan juga mendorong  peluang usaha berbasis pangan berkelanjutan. Keberhasilan kegiatan ini tidak lepas dari partisipasi masyarakat sejak dari perencanaan kegiatan hingga ke tahap evaluasi.

Abstract

Agro-small industry entrepreneurs as a social group are integrated into a social structure. In sociological studies, the presence of this group of entrepreneurs also shows their social structure. To better understand the social reality of entrepreneurs in carrying out their production processes, the concept of Production Mode is known. This research aims to explore the production modes that occur in the next generation of small agro industries in East Priangan. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected by interviewing four owners of the next generation of small agro industries who have survived across generations. Thematic analysis with N-vivo version 12 software was used to analyze the data obtained. This research reveals that there is more than one mode of production that coexists in agro-small industries in East Priangan, so the concept of social formation is more appropriate to use. The social formations most commonly found in the third generation are "modern commercial hybrid" and "commercial".

Abstract

This study aims to explain the definition of agricultural entrepreneurship and the skills that farmers must have for their agricultural development. Furthermore, this study tries to look at the obstacles faced by farmers and their implications for agricultural policy in general. This study used a literature study approach related to fruition, focusing interest on entrepreneurship and agricultural skills. In this study, researchers have provided an overview of the main topics in the agricultural entrepreneurship literature and suggested that some limited trends appear in the literature, such as the diversification of farming and agricultural entrepreneurship. The author found that there are some critical, reflective, and reflexive materials, and we see that there are some technical things that we take from the non-agricultural business sector for use in the agricultural sector, especially those related to developing the entrepreneurial capacity of farmers. The author concludes that the main challenge for the agricultural sector is to provide opportunities for farmers to be able to develop their entrepreneurial skills. This will certainly require support from various stakeholders, namely their role in providing coaching and mentoring for farmers, as well as opening economic access for farmers so that they can optimize their potential for farm development. It is hoped that this will be a contribution to this research for the agricultural sector in Indonesia.

Abstract

Palm sugar is a processed product from palm trees (nira) which is cultivated by many craftsmen, especially UMKM craftsmen. Activity of UMKM is an effort to increase income for palm sugar craftsmen. However, there are still obstacles in its development, namely the difficulty of obtaining raw materials in the form of nira because it is related to tradition and the low selling price of palm sugar. This low price results in the craftsmen's income being low. Generally, craftsmen never take into account production costs in detail, so that the income they earn cannot be calculated with certainty. The aim of this research is to calculate the costs and income of palm sugar craftsmen, as well as the factors that influence craftsmen to run a palm sugar business. The research method used is a case study in Ciranggem Village, Jatigede District, Sumedang Regency by taking 10 palm sugar craftsmen with census. The research results show that for one palm sugar production process, the average cost incurred is Rp. 164,000 and produces 10 kg of palm sugar. The selling price for palm sugar is Rp. 20,000/kg, so the income earned is Rp. 36,000/one production process. The R/C for palm sugar is 1.22, meaning that the palm sugar business is worth pursuing. The factors that most influence craftsmen to cultivate palm sugar are to increase family income.

Abstract

This study explores how the economic performance of agricultural small industries has survived for three generations in rural East Priangan. This study is important because of the high failure rate of small industries in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data was obtained through semi-structured interviews, FGDs, and secondary data from companies. Qualitative data was analyzed using the principles of Thematic Analysis assisted by N-Vivo 12 software. The results of the research show that the economic performance of agricultural small industries that have survived for three generations in rural areas is still in a poor status. The practical implications of these findings are that: Profitability, level of innovation, level of competition, are the most sensitive factors and need to be considered in improving economic performance. This paper highlights that long-lived agricultural small industries do not necessarily have good economic performance. Many of these small industries survive based on commitment, maintaining their family's good name and conventional orientation.

Abstract

This paper aims to find out the actors that play the most role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of young farmers in West Java. The analysis tool used is centrality analysis based on network theory, using the Gephi 9.2 application. Informants and respondents in this study consisted of actors involved in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of young farmers, including young farmers, government, financial institutions, universities, markets and social communities. The determination of informants is determined purposively, namely by looking at their role and involvement in the business process of young horticultural farmers, spread across Garut Regency, Cianjur Regency and Bandung Regency, West Java. Indicators of the degree of centrality, centrality of proximity, centrality of intermediaries and Eigencentrality, show that social societies are actors that consistently interact and connect a lot with young farmers. The social community acts as a liaison actor between young farmers and other agricultural stakeholders, always providing positive motivation and encouragement for farmers in agricultural activities. Social community actors must remain involved in horticultural agribusiness in West Java, especially champion farmers, community leaders and agricultural communities. Social community actors not only provide support in the aspects of labor and social capital, but become important actors in creating a conducive and productive farming climate, thus becoming an attraction for the younger generation of agriculture.

Abstract

With increasing global demands to contribute to a sustainable world, small industries are starting to express awareness of the importance of environmental safety and health in their businesses. This research aims to explore the environmental performance of agri-small industries in East Priangan using a qualitative approach. Interviews were conducted with 10 small agro industry owners who adopted environmental practices in their business. Thematic analysis with N-vivo version 12 software was used to analyze the data obtained. This research reveals that business owners' knowledge of the importance of environmental safety is the basic motive behind the environmental performance of small agro industries. The types of environmental performance that are carried out by many agri-small industries in East Priangan include: simple waste processing, use of safe raw materials and certification and standardization for food products. The cost component is something that needs to be considered, because it often becomes an obstacle in implementing environmental performance in agri-small industries.

Abstract

Mobilitas internasional yang dilakukan oleh perempuan merupakan salah satu strategi penghidupan yang banyak dijalankan rumah tangga di pedesaan. Keputusan perempuan untuk bekerja ke luar negeri turut dipengaruhi oleh jaringan sosial yang dimiliki. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis jaringan sosial yang terbentuk di pedesaan, terkait dengan mobilitas internasional yang dilakukan oleh perempuan. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Kroya Kabupaten Indramayu, dan Kecamatan Cikalong Kabupaten Tasikmalaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan teknik studi kasus. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah perempuan purna migran sebanyak 100 orang. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dengan bantuan software Nvivo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kerabat merupakan sumber informasi yang banyak diakses untuk mengetahui kehidupan dan juga suasana kerja di luar negeri. Pada tahap pra pendaftaran, peran sponsor lebih menonjol dibandingkan dengan tahap pencarian informasi. Peran sponsor ini cukup besar dalam mempengaruhi keputusan  calon pekerja migran dan keluarganya. Jaringan migrasi lokal dan internasional berperan dalam layanan informasi, meskipun tidak menjamin validitas informasi migrasi yang aman. Untuk itu diperlukan literasi bagi masyarakat, terutama di daerah kantung migran, mengenai sumber dan media yang aman untuk menyaring derasnya arus informasi mobilitas internasional.
