<![CDATA[This study examines the individual and simultaneous correlations between business capital and supply chain management (SCM) with the productivity of Pinogu Coffee MSMEs in Gorontalo Province. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design was employed. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire distributed via Google Forms to a purposive sample of 30 active MSMEs in Pinogu District, Bone Bolango Regency. Data analysis comprised validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests (normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity), and partial and multiple correlation analyses using SPSS. The partial correlation results show that business capital has a significant, moderate, positive relationship with productivity when controlling for SCM (r = 0.469; p = 0.010), while SCM shows a significant, strong, positive relationship when controlling for business capital (r = 0.621; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, multiple correlation analysis revealed a very strong and significant relationship (R = 0.980; p < 0.001). Given the small sample and the use of single-source perceptual data, this exceptionally high coefficient should be interpreted with caution, as it may be influenced by common method bias. Overall, SCM is more strongly associated with productivity than business capital. These findings suggest that MSME development strategies should be integrative, combining financial strengthening with supply chain optimization to support sustainable growth in the regional coffee industry.]]>
