Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the production of curly red chili farmers in Silaumarawan Village, Dolok Silau District, Simalungun Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with a sample of 96 farmers selected using the Slovin formula. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, while data analysis used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), multiple linear regression, and classical assumption tests. The results of the CFA analysis indicate that there are three main factors representing the research variables: climate change, distribution, and capital. The results of the multiple linear regression indicate that partially climate change has a positive and significant effect on farmer production, while distribution and capital have no significant effect. Simultaneously, all three variables have a significant effect on farmer production. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.642 indicates that 64.2% of the variation in farmer production can be explained by climate change, distribution, and capital, while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the research model. The results of this study are expected to be a consideration for farmers and the government in formulating strategies to increase the productivity of curly red chili farming in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors that influence farmers’ income from sweet orange farming in Partibi Lama Village, Merek District. The research utilizes primary data obtained through direct interviews with sweet orange farmers by distributing questionnaires. This is a quantitative study applying Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), followed by Path Analysis using SPSS version 25. The CFA results indicate that two variables—Production and Land Area—are significantly associated with farmers' income in the study area. Furthermore, the path analysis shows that: (1) Land and Pesticides have a direct, positive, and significant effect on sweet orange production; (2) Land, Pesticides, and Production directly and significantly influence farmers' income; and (3) Land and Pesticides indirectly affect income through the mediating role of Production.

Abstract

This study examines how the integration of green economy practices and social entrepreneurship shapes sustainable regional development through community empowerment programs in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Employing a mixed methods sequential explanatory design, the study combines quantitative survey analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with qualitative in-depth interviews to explain how ecological efficiency and socially driven innovation jointly strengthen household economic capacity and regional resilience. The conceptual model positions community empowerment as the pathway through which green economy and social entrepreneurship translate into economic, social, and environmental outcomes at the regional level. Findings are expected to show that green economy practices and social entrepreneurship orientation each contribute positively to sustainable regional development, with community empowerment programs playing a strengthening role in this relationship. The study contributes theoretically by extending stakeholder theory, the triple bottom line, and the sustainable livelihood framework into an integrated regional development model, and practically by informing local government and social enterprise actors on designing empowerment programs that are simultaneously ecologically sound and economically inclusive.

Abstract

This study examines how wood waste is valorised as a thermal energy source by traditional dodol micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Padang Lawas Regency and what the practice implies for production-cost efficiency. Energy spending of dodol producers rose by 60.5% in 2021–2025, while some producers had informally switched to sawmill residues. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 14 dodol entrepreneurs and five triangulation informants, participant observation, documentation and a focus group discussion, and were analysed with the Miles, Huberman and Saldaña interactive model. Valorisation operates through informal social networks that connect producers with sawmills: 42.9% of informants were full adopters, 14.3% partial adopters and 42.9% non-adopters, and 87.5% of adopters obtained residues without payment. Full adopters cut energy costs by 52–58% (roughly IDR 3.4–4.1 million per month) and channelled the savings into working capital, household needs and children's education. Access to residues and human-resource capacity drove adoption, whereas the absence of local government programmes held it back. The study recommends formal MSME–sawmill partnerships, kiln-management training, simple equipment support, integration into a district circular-economy action plan and energy-cost monitoring.
