Abstract

This paper presents the results of a community engagement project conducted in Pagersari village, Ngantang district. The project aimed to address issues related to milk processing, packaging, and marketing in the community. The proposed solution involved the development of flavoured and coloured milk beverages that could be produced at home using simple cooking utensils. The community learned how to transform milk into products with various appealing flavours and colours through training and mentoring. Additionally, packaging and labelling training was provided to enhance the products' visual appeal. Marketing efforts included the provision of attractive stands and carts with character designs for selling milk products. Collaboration with the State University of Malang was established to optimize processing and marketing as the project expanded. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation, broadening offline and online marketing channels, and strengthening collaborations with relevant stakeholders were recommended for further improvement. This project is expected to sustainably impact the Pagersari community and serve as an inspiring model for home-based industry development in other regions

Abstract

Intra-industry trade between Indonesia and some neighbouring countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam can be characterised as an imperfectly competitive market and be driven by increasing returns to achieve economies of scale. This research investigates the dynamics of Indonesia's intra-industrial trade in the manufacturing industry with ASEAN-4 countries, namely the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, from 2005 to 2021. The independent variables used are the difference in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), real exchange rate, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). We also estimate the Grubel-Lloyd Index and decompose the intra-industry trade either dominated by vertical or horizontal intra-industry trade. The data is then analysed by the panel data method. Our findings show that intra-industry trade taking place in the region has a strong level dominated by vertical intra-industry trade, resulting in goods traded of different quality. Next, the variable of difference in GDP has a significant negative effect on intra-industry trade, the variable of the real exchange rate has a significant positive impact, and FDI has a positive and not significant effect.

Abstract

The agricultural sector is an important sector in supporting the increase of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), especially the food crops, livestock, and fisheries sub-sectors in Malang Regency. This study aims to identify the contribution of the food crops, livestock, and fisheries sub-sectors in Malang Regency to GRDP in Malang Regency. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency of Malang Regency. The results of the study show that the independent variables of food crops, livestock, and fisheries simultaneously have a significant effect on the dependent variable GRDP. The partial test results show that the food crops and livestock sub-sector variables have a positive and significant effect on the dependent variable. The fisheries variable has a positive and insignificant effect on the dependent variable. The results of the determination coefficient test of 0.878 indicate that 87.8% of the variation in GRDP can be explained by the food crops, livestock, and fisheries sub-sectors, while the rest is influenced by other factors. From the research that has been done, the researcher suggests that the government should optimise the production of food crops, livestock, and fisheries production, because these three sub-sectors are potential sub-sectors in the agricultural sector in Malang Regency.

Abstract

Housing infrastructure is necessary to improve the quality of life of the community, yet a recent assessment of housing infrastructure development in Indonesia highlights a low level of performance. Therefore, actions are needed to stimulate it through pension funds, which remain minimally utilized for direct investment in the housing sector. This research investigates the potential and challenges of using pension funds for housing investment in Indonesia, employing Input Output (IO) Analysis with data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The findings reveal a significant gap between the potential and realized pension fund investments, indicating the substantial capacity of pension funds to be directed towards investment in the housing sector. Two strategies are recommended to address this. First, maximizing pension fund revenue, mainly among population groups underserved by pension funds, such as micro, small, and medium business owners and informal workers. Second, reorienting policies to enhance investment opportunities in the housing sector while overcoming future challenges.
