Abstract

This research was conducted in 2025 with the aim of analyzing economic contributions and the time devotion at Kota Jati Furindo LLC dedicated to supporting their family economy and analyzing their contributions. The study was conducted at Kota Jati Furindo LLC, situated on the Jepara-Bangsri road, approximately 6.5 kilometers from Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. The company operates in the timber industry and employs a significant number of women, particularly in the production department. This study used the census method for data collection, chosen because it allows the inclusion of the entire population that meets the criteria as respondents, resulting in more accurate findings. The study involved 50 respondents, specifically married women employees working in the packing and sanding divisions. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. The study employed descriptive analysis with a quantitative approach for data analysis. This approach was chosen to provide an in-depth understanding of the time dedication and economic contribution of the respondents. The data analysis showed that women employees at Kota Jati Furindo LLC spend an average of 33.33% of their time each week on economic activities or work. Meanwhile, the average time spent on non-economic activities, such as attending to personal needs, social activities, and household chores, was 66.65% per week. The contribution analysis revealed that the economic contribution of women employees to the family income is 43%, which falls into the medium category. Policy implications based on these findings suggest that the company needs to develop policies that support a better work-life balance for its female employees. For example, offering more flexible work arrangements or improved leave policies could help women manage the time between work and family responsibilities, thus enhancing their economic contribution more optimally.

Abstract

Although Arabica coffee prices may be favorable in certain periods, increased production during peak harvest seasons can create excess supply and expose farmers to price declines, particularly when farmers rely mainly on selling coffee cherries or green beans with limited value addition. Therefore, downstream processing is needed to capture higher added value and reduce farmers’ vulnerability to market volatility. This study aims to analyze the added value generated from Arabica coffee processing and map the business model adaptation of farmer groups in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, East Java Province. The study was conducted from January to June 2023 using a mixed-methods approach that combined quantitative value-added analysis with qualitative Business Model Canvas mapping. The Hayami method was used to calculate value added, while interviews, field observations, and focus group discussions identified business model components and development strategies. The results show that processing red coffee cherries into green beans generated an added value of IDR 4,975.00/kg with a value-added ratio of 39.48%, indicating a moderate level of value creation. In contrast, processing green beans into ground coffee generated a much higher added value of IDR 102,250.00/kg with a value-added ratio of 90.88%, indicating a high level of value creation. These findings demonstrate that downstream processing into ground coffee provides substantially greater economic benefits than green bean processing. Practically, farmer groups need to strengthen processing capacity, product quality control, packaging, branding, digital marketing, and institutional partnerships to capture higher value and reduce vulnerability to price fluctuations caused by excess supply during peak harvest periods.
