Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of interest rates and inflation on the demand for consumer loans at commercial banks in North Sumatra and provide a comprehensive understanding of how these economic variables affect consumer borrowing behavior. The data for this research is limited to the years 2015-2022, with observations taken quarterly (Quarter 1, Quarter 2, Quarter 3, and Quarter 4). The unit of analysis is the region of North Sumatera, resulting in a total of 32 samples.The regression model developed in this study reveals that interest rates have a negative impact on the demand for consumer credit in North Sumatera. Specifically, as interest rates increase, the cost of borrowing rises, leading to a decrease in consumer credit demand. Furthermore, the study finds that inflation also negatively influences the demand for consumer credit. An increase in inflation erodes the purchasing power of consumers, which in turn reduces their ability to take on additional debt.By understanding these relationships, the research provides valuable insights for policymakers and financial institutions. It highlights the importance of monitoring and managing interest rates and inflation to maintain a stable demand for consumer credit, which is crucial for the overall economic health of North Sumatera.

Abstract

Cross-regional survey studies found that determinants of factors consistently influence youth decisions to enter/stay in agriculture: land access, capital/financial access, education & technical training, and family/community support. By analyzing the literatures, regression analysis and mixed-methods studies generally show that without improved land access and financing, training programs alone are difficult to drive long-term retention. A number of Indonesian case studies (and reviews on agricultural digitalization) show that digitalization (marketing platforms, agronomic information, management systems) can increase the attractiveness of agriculture for younger generations and help them become agripreneurs—but the evidence on the medium-term economic impact (income, business stability) is still limited and most studies are descriptive or qualitative. There are reports that emphasize the great potential but also the obstacles to implementation (digital literacy, infrastructure investment).

Abstract

This study analyzes rural–urban migration and non-permanent mobility in Indonesia using secondary data from the Statistics Indonesia 2015 Intercensal Population Survey (SUPAS 2015). Grounded in the Harris–Todaro framework and contemporary migration theories, the research examines the socioeconomic determinants of migration decisions and the growing relevance of commuter and seasonal mobility patterns. Rural–urban migration is conceptualized as a rational decision based on expected income differentials, employment opportunities, and access to urban facilities, while recognizing structural imbalances in the labor market that may generate urban unemployment and informal sector expansion. This study employs a quantitative and qualitative research design supported by a systematic literature review. The literature review was conducted to identify theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and methodological approaches related to rural–urban migration. Previous scholarly articles were carefully examined to construct the conceptual framework and to determine relevant variables for empirical analysis. Urbanization in Indonesia demonstrates both positive and negative implications. On the one hand, agglomeration economies enhance productivity, income, and access to education and health services. On the other hand, rapid urban growth contributes to congestion costs, informal employment, environmental degradation, and urban poverty. The study concludes that migration and non-permanent mobility are integral components of Indonesia’s demographic and economic transformation, requiring balanced regional development policies and improved urban governance to maximize benefits while minimizing social and economic costs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the health conditions of farmers and their implications on the productivity and economic welfare of agricultural households through a literature review approach. This study examines various empirical studies from several countries, namely Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, Germany, China, the Netherlands, Japan, and Brazil, which discusses the impact of pesticide exposure, work injuries, health shocks, health literacy, and socio-economic factors on the economic performance of the agricultural sector. The results of the review show that health problems, both in the form of diseases due to chemical exposure and work accidents, consistently negatively impact the number of effective working days, labor productivity, and farmers' household incomes. In addition, health literacy, education level, access to health services, and the use of personal protective equipment have proven to be important determinants in reducing health risks and economic losses. Cross-country studies show that even in countries with advanced health systems, such as the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, and Australia, health shocks still affect agricultural productivity. Meanwhile, in developing countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Brazil, limited access to health services and low occupational safety education magnify the economic impact of health problems. This research confirms that health is an integral part of human capital in the function of agricultural production and needs to be considered in sustainable agricultural development policies.

Abstract

Horticultural farming, particularly high-value vegetable production such as chili, tomatoes, and leafy vegetables, plays a strategic role in increasing farm income and supporting rural economic development in both developed and developing countries. This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility and risk factors associated with horticultural farming through a comprehensive literature review approach. Secondary data were systematically collected from peer-reviewed journals, institutional reports, and international publications focusing on financial indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit–Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period (PP), as well as sensitivity and risk analyses. The findings reveal that horticultural farming is generally financially feasible across different country contexts. In developed countries, modern systems such as greenhouse and hydroponic production demonstrate strong profitability despite high initial capital requirements, supported by technological efficiency and stable market integration. In developing countries, smallholder horticulture generates significantly higher returns compared to staple crops; however, financial viability is more vulnerable to price volatility, input cost fluctuations, limited infrastructure, and market access constraints. Risk management strategies—including contract farming, cooperative marketing, technological adoption, institutional support—are critical in maintaining long-term financial sustainability. In Indonesia, particularly in chili farming, the evidence suggests that horticultural investment can be highly profitable but requires comprehensive financial planning and risk mitigation measures to withstand market and production uncertainties. This review highlights the importance of integrating financial feasibility analysis with risk assessment to enhance farm resilience, improve profitability, and support sustainable horticultural development.
