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

Recent shifts in Arabica coffee processing before sale stem from declining farmer profitability caused by low harvest-season prices. This study maps farmer group operations onto a business model canvas and measures the added value of coffee processing. Conducted from January to June 2023 in Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, East Java Province, was deliberately chosen for its relevance. A mixed-methods approach was used, integrating qualitative analysis with quantitative description. Data were analyzed using value-added calculations and the Business Model Canvas. The findings reveal a modest value-added ratio of 30.1% for green bean processing in Trawas Subdistrict. By contrast, coffee powder processed using the natural method yields a high value-added ratio of 48.75% (IDR 9,750.00). These findings demonstrate that producing Arabica ground coffee generates more added value than processing green beans, primarily due to longer processing times and premium output prices. Nevertheless, the coffee processing business system remains outdated. Broader participation in extension activities is expected to enhance farmers' knowledge, leading to increased productivity in Arabica coffee enterprises.
