Abstract

The city of Medan has several features that distinguish it from other cities in Indonesia. How fluctuations in food prices impact inflation can be influenced by variables such as the structure of the local food market, the accessibility of food distribution, and people's consumption patterns. The purpose of this research is to gain an understanding of the dynamics that occur in Medan, especially in the post-election context. This study aims to analyze the effect of food price fluctuations on the inflation rate in Medan City after the general election. Significant fluctuations in food prices often affect price stability and inflation, and the impact may become more complex after policy changes following the 2024 general election. This study aims to analyze the influence of food prices on inflation using a linear regression model with five independent variables: Rice Price, Chicken Meat Price, Red Chili Price, Beef Price, and Shallot Price. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test on non-standardized residuals showed a significance value of 0.251, which is greater than 0.05, indicating normal distributed data. The histogram shows a distribution of data that deviates to the right, while the P-Plot test on standardized residual shows the absence of heteroscedasticity. The multicollinearity test with the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) yielded values below 10.0 for all variables, indicating the absence of symptoms of multicollinearity. The results of the linear regression show that the coefficients for Rice Prices (-0.00000075), Red Chili Prices (-0.00000012), and Shallot Prices (-0.00000027) are negative, indicating an inverse relationship between these prices and inflation. Meanwhile, the coefficients for Chicken Meat Price (0.00000103) and Beef Price (0.00000008) were positive, but the effect was very small. A coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.609 indicates that about 60.9% of the variation in inflation can be explained by this model. The partial hypothesis test showed that only the Chicken Meat Price had a significant influence on inflation (significance value of 0.017, less than 0.05). The other variables did not show a significant influence because their significance value was greater than 0.05. The F test showed a significance value below 0.05, indicating that simultaneously, all five food price variables had a significant influence on inflation. The study concluded that, although only one variable was individually significant, overall, changes in food prices affected inflation.

Abstract

In Alur Dua Baru Village, Sei Lepan District, Langkat Regency, there are many Soft Sheel Crab cultivation activities, one of those who cultivate them is Mr. Afrizal. He cultivates Soft Sheel Crab as well as containers. This shelter is named “Paja Shelter” and has been established since 2006. Soft Sheel Crab are taken from other Soft Sheel Crab farmers in the Sei Lepan District area and its surroundings. Super-sized Soft Sheel Crab are marketed to the “Toba Surimi” factory in the Medan Industrial Area (KIM) in fresh condition. Meanwhile, the medium and small sized ones are marketed to restaurants and eateries in the Medan area in frozen form. The choice of Soft Sheel Crab cultivation in “Paja Shelter” is because this business is currently developing and has great prospects. And there are still many who are not familiar with Soft Sheel Crab cultivation. Apart from that, the maritime economy (blue economy) is being promoted by the Indonesian government. The objectives of this research are: (1) To find out the process of cultivating Soft Sheel Crab; (2) To analyze the profits from the Soft Sheel Crab. Keywords: Soft Shell Crab, Cultivation, Profits

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of efficiency in the use of production factors in rice farming, to analyze the income levels obtained by farmers, and to provide input in the form of strategies and recommendations for farmers to improve their productivity and efficiency in the future. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a survey approach. Data were collected directly from farmers through interviews using questionnaires, and supplemented with secondary data from relevant institutions. The respondents were rice farmers in Sijambi Village, selected based on specific criteria. The collected data were then analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function model to measure the extent of efficiency in the use of production factors, as well as income analysis to determine farmers’ profitability. The results show that farmers in Sijambi Village are generally quite efficient in utilizing production factors, particularly in the use of labor and fertilizers. However, inefficiencies were still found in the use of seeds and land management. The income levels obtained by farmers were relatively profitable, although there remains room for improvement to achieve more optimal results. The study recommends the adoption of modern agricultural technologies, the enhancement of farm management skills, and greater institutional support to increase rice production efficiency in the study area.

Abstract

This activity aimed to enhance the economic value of oyster mushroom commodities through the optimization of an educational cafe and the development of creative mushroom-based products at CV Caca Jamur, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency. The main challenges faced by the partner included limited product innovation, conventional marketing practices, and the underutilization of the educational café as a medium for education, branding, and market expansion. The program was implemented using a participatory and collaborative approach by actively involving the partner in all stages of the activities, including problem identification, training and mentoring on product diversification, optimization of the educational café, strengthening of branding and packaging, and digital marketing assistance. The results demonstrated an improvement in the partner’s knowledge and skills in managing mushroom-based enterprises, the creation of diversified value-added mushroom products, and increased attractiveness of the educational café as a learning and promotional platform. Furthermore, the program contributed to broader market reach and increased income potential for the partner enterprise. This activity is expected to serve as a sustainable empowerment model for horticultural-based MSMEs through the integration of education, product innovation, and creative economy development.
