Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are vital to Indonesia's economy, significantly aiding job creation and economic growth while enhancing community welfare. In Kuningan Regency, known for its agricultural strengths and superior food crops like sweet potatoes and cassava, there is substantial potential for MSME development in local food processing. However, the post-pandemic landscape has seen a decline in MSMEs, facing challenges such as limited capital, competitiveness, and human resources. This study investigates the empowerment levels of MSME food processors in Kuningan Regency and their impact on productivity. Data were collected through interviews with 114 respondents from Kramatmulya, Cigugur, and Kuningan Districts. Utilizing the Likert Scale and SPSS for statistical testing, the research reveals that MSMEs in the food processing sector are categorized as empowered and moderately empowered. Regression analysis indicates that all independent variables—input, output, and marketing—positively and significantly influence productivity, with significance values below 0.05. The findings suggest that untapped resources and market potential could enhance productivity. This study aims to inform more effective empowerment policies to bolster MSMEs in Kuningan Regency, improving their competitiveness in a challenging market.

Abstract

Indonesia’s agriculture sector significantly contributes to national economic development, accounting for 13.28% of GDP in 2021. Rising demand for chemical free food has accelerated the growth of organic farming, particularly in organic rice cultivation; however, adoption remains limited. This study used a mixed methods approach on the Al-Barokah Farmers Association in Semarang, complemented by quantitative data from 100 respondents selected via purposive and snowball sampling, to examine challenges in market access, capital availability, and resource limitations. The Food Supply Chain Network (FSCN) model was used to analyze six key elements: supply chain targets, structure, management, resources, business processes, and performance. Results indicate that organic rice is distributed through five marketing channels, with the farmer’s share exceeding 50% across all channels, reaching up to 100% in some cases. The cooperative effectively maintains an efficient and interconnected supply chain, stabilizing prices and supporting export activities. The study recommends improving communication, optimizing marketing channel participation, and accurately calculating production costs to sustain the cooperative’s organic rice supply chain.
