Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector play a crucial role in supporting regional economic development, particularly in Batu City, which is widely recognized as a tourism hub. The high level of tourism activities encourages the growth of culinary MSMEs while simultaneously increasing business competition and operational risks. One of the main challenges faced by culinary MSMEs is the fluctuation in raw material costs, which can directly affect financial stability and business sustainability. Inadequate risk management related to raw material costs may reduce profit margins, disrupt cash flow, and weaken the financial resilience of MSMEs. This study aims to analyze effective raw material cost risk management strategies in enhancing the financial resilience of culinary MSMEs in Batu City. The research method employed is a qualitative approach using a case study design, involving two culinary MSMEs: Ketan KD and Bakso Mantul Balungan Khas Malang. Data were collected through observation, structured interviews with business owners, documentation, and literature study. Data analysis was conducted using SWOT analysis supported by the IFAS, EFAS, and Internal–External (IE) Matrix. The findings indicate that raw material cost risk management strategies, including supplier diversification, planned inventory management, systematic financial recording, and flexible pricing adjustments, are effective in improving cash flow stability, resilience to raw material price fluctuations, and business sustainability. Therefore, appropriate risk management strategies play a crucial role in strengthening the financial resilience of culinary MSMEs in Batu City

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze and comprehensively describe the financial management of the cooperative at Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School in Batu City. As an Islamic educational institution, pesantren played an important role in improving economic development through the establishment of cooperatives, commonly known as kopontren. This cooperative contributed to enhancing students’ welfare and supporting institutional development. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, and data were collected through observation, documentation, and structured interviews with relevant stakeholders, including pesantren leaders and cooperative administrators. The findings indicated that the Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School Cooperative had undergone significant changes since its establishment in 1995. Initially, the cooperative functioned merely as a formality with simple management under the supervision of its founder. However, since 2020, the cooperative had been reactivated as a productive unit providing savings and loan services for teachers and selling basic necessities. Despite its operations, the cooperative’s financial management still faced challenges, particularly due to limited skilled human resources and ineffective management practices, including the lack of clear separation between pesantren funds, cooperative operational funds, and members’ income. Nevertheless, religious values and Islamic economic principles were implemented in daily operations, such as the “honesty canteen” system and transparent profit margin management. Overall, although improvements in professionalism and legal compliance were still needed, the cooperative had become a crucial pillar in supporting financial stability and educational development at Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School

Abstract

Coffee is one of Timor-Leste’s leading export commodities, playing a crucial role in foreign exchange earnings and rural livelihoods. However, the performance of coffee exports has shown considerable fluctuations over time. This study aims to examine the effects of export coffee prices, domestic coffee production, domestic coffee prices, coffee plantation area, inflation, and per capita coffee consumption on the volume of coffee exports in Timor-Leste during the period 2002–2024.  This research employs time series secondary data obtained from UN Comtrade, the World Bank, the International Coffee Organization, and national statistical sources. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression estimated using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) approach.  The results indicate that all independent variables jointly have a significant effect on coffee export volume. Partially, export coffee prices, domestic coffee production, coffee plantation area, and per capita coffee consumption have a positive and significant effect on coffee export volume. Meanwhile, domestic coffee prices and inflation do not show a significant effect. These findings suggest that Timor-Leste’s coffee export performance is more strongly influenced by international market factors and production capacity than by domestic macroeconomic conditions. Therefore, policies aimed at increasing coffee exports should focus on strengthening production capacity, expanding plantation areas, and enhancing the competitiveness of Timor-Leste coffee in global markets
