Abstract

The cocoa trade plays a strategic role in the global economy and is one of Indonesia's leading commodities, contributing to regional development and farmer welfare. However, international price dynamics, productivity challenges, and value chain sustainability still create a gap between the potential and actual contribution of cocoa to regional economic growth, including in South Papua. This article aims to systematically examine the dynamics of Indonesia's cocoa trade, focusing on competitiveness, the role of the value chain, and its implications for sustainable development at the regional level. This study uses a systematic literature review approach, examining scientific publications, international agency reports, and official secondary data from the last five years. The results of the study show that although Indonesia has an important position in the world cocoa market, its competitiveness is still affected by limitations in cultivation technology, global price volatility, and the weak integration of small farmers in the international value chain. On the other hand, opportunities arise through the strengthening of farmer cooperatives, downstream product diversification, and the improvement of sustainable agricultural practices that can streng then regional economic resilience. The main contribution of this article lies in its conceptual synthesis linking cocoa trade with regional economic growth and sustainable development, while also offering a foundation for action.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve the production capacity, financial management literacy, and digital marketing skills among members of the Family Welfare Empowerment group in Matara Village by developing fish nuggets as a value-added processed product utilizing local fisheries potential. The program was implemented using a participatory approach through educational and training activities, including program socialization, fish nugget production training, simple financial management training, and digital marketing training. The activities were conducted at the Matara Village Hall and involved 20 participants from the local community group. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants understanding of hygienic production techniques, their ability to maintain simple financial records, and their use of social media as a platform for product promotion. The integration of production training, financial management, and digital marketing also encouraged the development of household enterprises utilizing fisheries products and expanded opportunities for marketing processed products. This activity contributed to strengthening the capacity of community-based enterprises and supported the development of economic independence through the utilization of local resource potential in Matara Village.
