Abstract

This study analyzes the integration of supply chain management (SCM) within a food estate model on lowland swamp agroecosystems to strengthen national food security. A descriptive–analytical survey was conducted for eight months involving 60 farmers from three farmer groups in Muara Belida, South Sumatra. Performance was assessed using the SCOR v13.0 framework, value-added analysis (Hayami method), KPI weighting (ANP), and performance measurement (OMAX with Traffic Light System). Results show an overall SCM performance index of 7.892 (yellow category), with “Deliver” (8.280), “Make” (8.258), and “Return” (8.025) performing relatively well, while “Plan” (7.520) and “Source” (7.758) remain moderate. Policy and managerial implications highlight the need for farmer training, adoption of climate-resilient crop varieties, demand forecasting systems, and formal contractual partnerships to stabilize supply and reduce transaction costs. Findings further reveal that SCM integration enhances value addition at the farmer level and mitigates systemic risks, thereby contributing to food security by reducing logistics costs and building supply chain resilience. This research provides empirical evidence that incorporating SCM into food estate development constitutes a critical strategy for sustainable agro-industrial cluster management in lowland swamps and for achieving national food security.

Abstract

Urban farming has emerged as a strategic response to the challenges of land scarcity and food security in metropolitan areas. This study investigates the financial performance and internal marketing value of shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) agribusiness cultivated hydroponically using Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) and Deep Flow Technique (DFT) systems across two planting cycles. Conducted as a case study at P4S Galih Jaya, the research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, combining direct observation, financial documentation review, and structured stakeholder interviews. Key metrics, production output, net income, Benefit-Cost (B/C) ratio, and Break-Even Point (BEP), were calculated using standard agribusiness financial formulas. Internal marketing indicators, including employee understanding, decision alignment, and motivation, were assessed through pre- and post-cycle surveys and integrated into participatory training sessions. Results indicated that the DFT system in cycle 2 yielded the highest net income (IDR 2,036,725) and B/C ratio (3.6), while the NFT system in cycle 1 incurred a financial loss (IDR -10,155) with a B/C ratio of 0.9. These findings were embedded into internal communication tools and stakeholder training sessions to foster data-driven decision-making. Internal marketing indicators showed marked improvement between periods, demonstrating the strategic value of integrating financial literacy into agribusiness operations. The study concludes that the selection of a hydroponic system not only affects profitability but also internal stakeholder engagement. The comparative study framework offers a replicable model for urban farmers seeking to align technical performance with internal adoption and strategic planning. Further research is recommended across successive planting periods to assess long-term viability and deepen internal marketing impact.

Abstract

Land conversion remains a major threat, often driven by development and investor disregard for customary laws. Subak Anggabaya, however, enforces officially recognized awig-awig, and is being developed by the Denpasar City Government under the Subak Lestari program to protect agricultural land. While the principles of THK continue to hold firm, the subak system is increasingly pressured by modernization, environmental degradation, and the transformation of rice fields into tourism developments. The concept of Tri Hita Karana comes from three words: Tri (Three), Hita (Happiness), and Karana (Cause). The formulation of the problem in this research is how is the implementation of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy in the awig-awig in Subak Anggabaya. The types of data used in this study is qualitative data. The data collection methods used in this study are as follows: 1). Interviews; and 2) Literature study. The research population consisted of the Pekaseh Gede and three Subak administrators. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive analysis, a type of qualitative research. The result of this research is the implementation of three aspects of the concept of Tri Hita Karana in Subak Anggabaya, namely: 1) Parhyangan, in the Subak Anggabaya area, the application of the aspect is ceremonial activities carried out from the beginning of agricultural activities to harvest; 2) Pawongan, Subak is an organization where there is often interaction between fellow subak people; 3) Palemahan is an important aspect, especially in maintaining the continuity of nature.

Abstract

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is one of the agricultural commodities with high economic value, but its cultivation faces various challenges, including climate change and suboptimal environmental management. Conventional microclimate control methods are primarily manual and reactive, often failing to maintain stable conditions during the critical phase of generation. Technological innovations, especially IoT-based microclimate controllers, enable real-time monitoring and automated regulation of temperature, humidity, and light, thereby reducing environmental fluctuations that negatively affect flowering and yield. This research aims to develop and apply an IoT-based microclimate controller that optimizes growth conditions during the generative phase of vanilla, and to evaluate its impact on growth and crop yields. The study was conducted over a 3-month generative period, using 30 vanilla plants per group (n = 60 in total), with three replications. Data were collected weekly and analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests to compare growth and yield performance. The results show that IoT-based microclimate controllers significantly improved optimal temperature and humidity stability, increasing plant growth and crop yields. The average stem length and number of flowers per plant increased by 30% and 25%, respectively, compared to the control group, while vanillin content rose from 1.8% to 2.5%. These findings offer new insights into sustainable vanilla cultivation management, which can be adopted by farmers to enhance productivity and quality. Recommendations for further research include developing more advanced systems, conducting cost-benefit analyses, and applying these technologies in different climatic conditions.

Abstract

Market demand for baby romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia) continues to rise alongside the public’s growing preference for healthy lifestyles, yet its productivity still needs improvement. This study aims to evaluate the effect of seedling density per planting hole on the growth and yield of baby romaine lettuce using the Deep Flow Technique (DFT) hydroponic system and to determine the optimal number of seedlings. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in Pelaga Village, Bali, using a completely randomized design (CRD) with a single factor comprising five seedling densities (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 seedlings per hole) and six replications, totaling 120 plants.  Growth and yield parameters were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD at a 5% significance level, with regression applied to fresh shoot and crop weight. Results showed that increasing the number of seedlings significantly affected plant height, stem diameter, chlorophyll content, fresh and dry shoot weight, and total fresh biomass. Shoot fresh weight increased linearly (Y = 97.86 + 11.71X; R² = 0.975), while crop fresh weight followed a quadratic trend (Y = 70.64 + 8.10X – 1.00X²; R² = 0.863), with the optimal yield obtained at three seedlings per hole. It is concluded that planting three seedlings per hole offers the best outcome in terms of both quality and quantity in a DFT hydroponic system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the market position and competitiveness of Indonesian areca nut exports in the global market using the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model. Indonesia has remained the dominant exporter of areca nut globally, holding over 50% of the market share from 2012 to 2024. However, recent fluctuations in export value and competition from other major exporters such as Myanmar, Thailand, and India highlight the need for a deeper understanding of market dynamics. The analysis utilizes secondary data under HS Code 080280, spanning the 2012–2024 period, and employs the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) approach to estimate own-price, cross-price, and expenditure elasticities. Results indicate that Indonesia’s areca nut exports are price inelastic, suggesting limited responsiveness to price changes. Cross-price elasticity values reveal complementary relationships with India and Myanmar, as well as a substitutive relationship with Thailand. Expenditure elasticity further classifies Indonesian areca nut as a normal good, in contrast to Thailand and Myanmar’s luxury classification, and India’s categorization as an inferior good. These findings provide critical insights for developing strategies to enhance the competitiveness and export performance of Indonesian areca nut in international markets.

Abstract

Income inequality remains a significant issue in developing nations, including East Java, which was ranked fifth among regions in Indonesia for having the highest level of inequality in 2023. This inequality is often associated with structural changes, especially the decrease of agricultural land to accommodate industrial development. This study aims to determine the most suitable spatial model, analyze the relationship between agricultural land reduction and income inequality in East Java, and explore the effects of other factors such as Agricultural Sector GDP, HDI, labor force, and real per capita expenditure on income inequality. The research uses secondary data, including panel data from 38 regencies/cities in East Java from 2009 to 2018. The results indicate spatial dependency among the independent variables, making the Spatial Autoregressive Model (SAR) the most appropriate method for analysis. These findings suggest that a significant decrease in agricultural land area tends to exacerbate income inequality even further. Therefore, this study has important policy implications, including the need for the government to uphold laws related to the protection of sustainable agricultural land and to provide skills training that is relevant to the needs of modern sectors. The results also show that an increase in the agricultural sector's GDP and labor force can boost productivity, output, and income, thereby potentially reducing income inequality. Whereas a rise in HDI and per capita expenditure tends to increase income inequality due to unequal access to development benefits and the consumption patterns of high-income groups, which further widen the gap.

Abstract

While the company is anonymized as “X Company” in the title, the empirical context of this study focuses on Starbucks Indonesia, where the rise of social media has amplified the impact of boycott movements through electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). This study examines the influence of anti-genocide digital campaign on consumer satisfaction in Malang City by analyzing: (1) the directly effect of e-WOM, religiosity, boycott, and brand image on boycott, brand image, and customer satisfaction (2) the influence of e-WOM and religiosity on customer satisfaction through brand image, and (3) the influence of e-WOM and religiosity on customer satisfaction through boycotts and brand image. The research employed a quantitative method using a Likert-based questionnaire, involving 64 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results indicate that brand image has a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction, while e-WOM and religiosity have a significant positive effect on boycotts. However, e-WOM and boycotts have a significant negative impact on consumer satisfaction, while e-WOM has a positive effect on brand image. In contrast, religiosity does not significantly impact consumer satisfaction, nor does religiosity have a significant influence on boycotts or brand image. Additionally, negative e-WOM encourages boycotts, which harm brand image and reduce consumer satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance for companies, particularly Starbucks Indonesia, to closely monitor negative e-WOM, with a focus on upholding moral and religious values. As well as strengthening the brand image. Future research should consider consumer loyalty as a dependent variable, future explore religiosity dimensions, and expand the study to other industries. This study provides valuable insight for academics and businesses regarding the interplay between e-WOM, religiosity, and boycotts.
