Abstract

The reciprocal tariff policy implemented by the United States toward its trading partners, including Indonesia, has exerted significant pressure on the competitiveness of Indonesia’s exports. Key sectors such as textiles, agriculture, and light manufacturing have been among the most affected. In this context, logistics efficiency, particularly port management as a strategic node in the export supply chain play a pivotal role. This study aims to analyze the impact of such tariff policies on Indonesia’s export performance, identify structural challenges in port management, and formulate strategies for integrating port governance into national policy frameworks to enhance export competitiveness. Employing a qualitative approach, this research utilizes data collection techniques including document analysis and in-depth interviews with stakeholders in the port, logistics, and trade sectors. The findings indicate that tariff barriers undermine export competitiveness, and inefficiencies in the port system driven by poor inter-agency coordination, infrastructural disparities, and fragmented logistics policies emerge as critical constraints. The study underscores the importance of an adaptive, collaborative, and nationally coordinated port management strategy to bolster Indonesia’s response to the growing pressures of global protectionism. It highlights the urgent need for comprehensive reform in port governance to strengthen Indonesia’s position in the international export market.

Abstract

Agribusiness plays a pivotal role in advancing economic growth, food security, and rural welfare, especially in archipelagic nations such as Indonesia where agriculture and maritime activities are geographically intertwined. Yet, fragmented supply chains, limited accessibility, and underdeveloped logistics infrastructure hinder the efficiency and competitiveness of agricultural systems. This study proposes a conceptual business model that integrates agribusiness with maritime logistics under the principles of the Blue Economy. Using a qualitative, desk-based analytical approach, it synthesizes academic literature, policy documents, and development reports to construct a framework aligning agricultural production with ocean-based distribution systems. The model is structured through an adapted Business Model Canvas emphasizing five interlinked components: (1) a value proposition centered on maritime connectivity and sustainability; (2) key integration activities between agricultural processing and sea transport coordination; (3) infrastructure and channel reconfiguration around coastal agrologistics hubs; (4) multi-actor partnerships among farmers, port authorities, and logistics providers; and (5) financial and environmental sustainability mechanisms. The findings highlight that maritime logistics can transform geographic fragmentation into an operational advantage by enabling cost-efficient, low-carbon, and inclusive supply chains. The proposed framework offers a strategic pathway for building resilient agribusiness ecosystems in island nations, supporting food security, regional equity, and sustainable development. While conceptual, the model lays groundwork for future empirical validation and pilot implementation to enhance coordination between agriculture and maritime sectors within Blue Economy-driven growth strategies.
