Abstract

In overcoming the complexity of the global world of work, non-economics students need to increase their interest and involvement in entrepreneurial activities to reduce the unemployment rate in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the interest and participation of Non-Economics Students in entrepreneurship. This literature review uses secondary data, especially referring to articles related to the research focus. The research focuses on entrepreneurship among non-economic study program students. The research results show that non-economic students' interest in entrepreneurship is still low. Negative views, lack of knowledge, and minimal environmental support hamper their involvement in entrepreneurial activities. Factors influencing interest and involvement involve family environment, entrepreneurial education, self-confidence, and institutional support. Efforts are needed to increase non-economic students' interest in entrepreneurship. Improvements in curriculum approaches and educational environments are required to increase their involvement in entrepreneurial activities. Focusing on key factors can be the basis for improving educational policies and programs to encourage the participation of non-economic students in the world of entrepreneurship. This study highlights the critical gap in entrepreneurial interest and participation among non-economics students in Indonesia. Furthermore, the study offers valuable insights into the specific factors that influence non-economics students' involvement in entrepreneurship.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks among the world’s largest cocoa bean producers; however, its export value is largely confined to semi-processed products. Major importers like Malaysia and China possess advanced cocoa processing industries, importing Indonesian cocoa beans to produce higher-value products. While demand for processed cocoa in China has rapidly increased, Indonesia’s cocoa powder exports (HS Code 180610) to Malaysia and China from 2020 to 2024 have shown significant fluctuations, with competitiveness notably declining in the Chinese market. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis using Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Export Product Dynamics (EPD), with qualitative insights from interviews with MSME stakeholders and the FTA Center. Findings reveal that Indonesia retains comparative advantage in Malaysia (RCA > 1), yet experiences stagnation or decline in competitiveness, identified as Lost Opportunity and Falling Star segments in the EPD matrix. Conversely, competitiveness in China deteriorates sharply due to decreasing market share. MSMEs face challenges such as stringent regulatory and certification demands, high logistics costs, and competition from industrial producers. Policy recommendations include enhancing downstream processing, innovating high-value products meeting international standards, diversifying export markets, and strengthening government support to boost Indonesia’s cocoa powder export competitiveness.
