<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the role of BUMDes Sejahtera Punjung in supporting the development of elephant ginger exports in Devisa Village, Pacitan, and to explain the institutional mechanisms that link local economic potential to export markets. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews with the Director of BUMDes Sejahtera Punjung, the owner of PT Enha Sentosa Indonesia, and representatives from the Foreign Trade Development Division of the East Java Provincial Industry and Trade Office, and were supplemented by relevant secondary data. Analysis was conducted through data organization, coding, theme identification, and interpretation of findings, using the concept of “role” as an analytical framework supported by perspectives on economic institutions and supply chain management. The research results indicate that BUMDes functions as a facilitator, market intermediary, and driver of the local economy through production coordination, capacity building, supply chain organization, and connecting elephant ginger with companies that have access to export markets. The study also found that the sustainable development of this commodity still faces production risks, particularly regarding seed quality and crop failure. These findings indicate that BUMDes serve as local coordinating institutions that help connect village agricultural resources with broader market networks]]>
