Abstract

This study aims to analyze and develop a business strategy of the lumindai palm sugar industry in Sawahlunto City, Indonesia by combining BMC and SWOT approaches. To identify the industry, a BMC mapping is initially performed. The results from the BMC serve as inputs for categorizing business development elements. These elements are then divided into four SWOT categories: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. Each factor within these categories is evaluated and assigned a value, followed by an analysis using IFE and EFE. The IFE analysis yields a score of 3.045, indicating strong internal capital for industry development. Conversely, the EFE score of 2.636 suggests that the industry's external conditions are moderate. The IFE and EFE results then serve as a basis for formulating relevant strategies using the IE matrix. According to the IE matrix, the industry falls into cell IV, placing it in the Grow and Build position. This position is used to develop detailed strategic specifications in the SWOT matrix, which provides actionable insights for industry growth.

Abstract

Empty oil palm fruit bunches (OPEFB) are an agro-industrial waste with a high cellulose content, but lignin is a constraint in their utilization. This study aims to examine the optimal alkali peroxide concentration and temperature in the OPEFB bleaching process. This study uses Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD). The research factor include the concentration of NaOH, H₂O₂, and bleaching temperature, with responses of yield, water content, ash content, whiteness degree, and Kappa number. The results showed that the research factors influenced the observed response. RSM provided an optimum combination solution at a concentration of 9.35% NaOH, 31.50% H₂O₂, and a temperature of 84.35°C, with a desirability of 0.789.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the quality of palm sugar produced by UD Sobar. The samples were taken from the two factories owned by UD Sobar located in Bulumario Village and Simaninggir Village. The parameter that is used to determine the quality of the palm sugar produced by UD Sobar is SNI (SII 0265-85). The parameters in SNI (SII 0268-65) are total sugar (reducing sugar and sucrose), reducing sugar, sucrose, water, ash, insoluble parts, pigment, starch, dangerous metal form and content. Additional testing that has been done is a pH test and color scale test. The result of the test on palm sugar sample produced in Bulumario Village, the ash content is not up to SNI standard (SII 0268-85) which is 2.73% (maximum SNI requirement of 2%). Whilst in the sample from Simaninggir Village, the parameters that are not suitable are total sugar 79,

Abstract

Determining the level of caffeine in coffee grounds is very important so that people can consume coffee in a safe amount. Based on SNI 01-7152-2006 the permitted dose of caffeine is 50-150 mg/day. This study aims to describe the level of caffeine in local coffee powder originating from coffee powder SMEs in Pasaman Regency. Coffee powder samples were taken from the two largest coffee powder SMEs in Pasaman Regency, namely Matahari coffee powder SMEs and Gunpas coffee powder SMEs. The caffeine content obtained in this study will be compared with the standard caffeine content according to SNI 013542-2004 which is 0.45-2.00% and SNI 01-7152-2006 which is the maximum limit for caffeine consumption per day of 50-150 mg/day. The method used in this research is UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The results of the analysis of caffeine levels in four samples per 1 gram of coffee powder are sample A 6.878 mg; sample B 6.855mg; sample C 6,674mg; sample D 7,688mg. In one cup of coffee, 4 grams of coffee powder is used, so that the caffeine content of coffee powder circulating in Pasaman Regency is still safe for consumption per day. In percentage units of caffeine content, based on the four samples analyzed, sample A is 0.687%; sample B 0.685%; sample C 0.667%; sample D 0.768%. The coffee caffeine content produced is following with the requirements of SNI 01-3542-2004.

Abstract

This research aimed to a) identify the flow of the jackfruit supply chain; b) obtain the added value of the jackfruit chips agroindustry; c) analyze the level of efficiency of the jackfruit chips agroindustry; d) formulate strategies and determine strategic priorities for increasing the supply chain and added value of jackfruit. The methods used in this research are both qualitative and quantitative. The research stage starts by analyzing the jackfruit supply chain using a framework of the food supply chain network (FSCN), calculating the added value of chips in the jackfruit chips agroindustry using the Hayami method and analyzing the level of efficiency of the jackfruit chips agroindustry. The researchers then formulate a strategy using SWOT and select priority strategies using the method of analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The research results showed that the supply chain structure consists of two structures, namely structure 1 (supplier-jackfruit chips agroindustry-consumer) and structure 2 (supplier-jackfruit chips agroindustry-retail-consumer). The flow of goods occurs from suppliers to consumers, the flow of money from consumers to suppliers, and the flow of information from suppliers to consumers and vice versa. The calculation of added value obtained from micro, small, and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Sinar Hidayah was IDR 8,198.71/kg, Usaha Baru Ibu was IDR 13,960.58/kg, and Restu was IDR 4,718.75/kg. The R/C ratio in SME Sinar Hidayah is 1.72, Usaha Baru Ibu is 2.42, and Restu is 1.26. Based on the results of the strategy formulation, the priority strategy was obtained, namely expanding the raw material and marketing network for jackfruit chips with a weight of 0.331, and the selected criteria was logistics with a weight of 0.322.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the Gambir processing technique in Pesisir Selatan Regency and the market potential associated with Uncaria Gambir. This study uses a qualitative research methodology that focuses on the socio-economic impact of the Gambir processing system in Pesisir Selatan, which shows the importance of Gambir as a primary livelihood for local communities. This area is characterized by unique Gambir processing techniques that contribute to ecological sustainability and financial viability for farmers. The study results show that Gambir processing is still carried out in traditional ways: harvesting, boiling, pressing, filtering, drying, molding, and drying. Furthermore, for marketing Gambir, it is done by farmers selling to collectors and then selling it to local exporters in Padang City. This study provides information on the important role of Gambir in the economic landscape of Pesisir Selatan. It provides a comprehensive view of processing techniques, market dynamics, and cultivation systems that are important for the sustainable development of this valuable natural resource.
