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.

Abstract

The growing awareness of health and environmental concerns has led to an increase in the consumption of organic vegetables, especially among young consumers. This study aims to identify key factors influencing their purchasing behavior and provide insights for improving business service strategies. Data were collected from 162 purposively selected students at Brawijaya University and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS. The results indicate that product actuality has the strongest influence on purchasing behavior (effect size = 0.229, p < 0.05), followed by delivery service (0.153, p < 0.05). Delivery service is significantly affected by product actuality, quality, health issues, appearance, freshness, and taste, as well as curiosity and prestige (all p < 0.05). Mediating effects are also significant for product actuality and appearance (p < 0.1). These findings highlight the importance of ensuring authentic products and optimizing delivery services to enhance business performance in the organic market segment.

Abstract

Corn farmers on the RI–RDTL border frequently face limited resources in developing their agricultural potential, despite continuous government efforts to provide support and facilitation. Addressing this issue requires an understanding of both internal and external factors related to farmers, innovative characteristics, the role of information media, and the involvement of extension workers. This study aims to examine the determinants influencing maize farmers’ practices in West Miomaffo District, North Central Timor Regency. Data were collected through a survey of 161 corn growers and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The analysis revealed that communication efficacy and farmer-related external factors significantly influence behavioral changes, with critical ratio values exceeding the threshold (CR > 1.96). Conversely, internal farmer factors, innovation characteristics, and the role of extension workers did not have a significant effect on practice changes. These findings highlight that strengthening external support systems and improving communication strategies are more decisive for behavioral transformation among maize farmers in the border area than internal or innovation-driven factors.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze land use change and its impact on soil quality in the Catchment Area of the Manten Sub-watershed, Malang Regency. Land use changes were assessed using satellite imagery data from 1998, 2008, 2018, and 2024, while soil physical and chemical properties were measured to develop the Soil Quality Index (SQI). The SQI was computed using the Minimum Data Set (MDS) approach based on principal component analysis, and each indicator was scored and integrated using a weighted additive formula. The results show a significant increase in built-up areas by 12% and a decrease in plantation land due to land conversion. These changes were driven by population growth and urbanization. The highest SQI value was recorded in plantation areas (0.70), while the lowest was found in dryland agriculture (0.58). The decline in soil quality was mainly caused by low organic matter content and unsustainable land management practices. This study highlights the importance of land use planning based on soil potential to support environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Sustainable Food Home Area (KRPL) is a household-based food security initiative program. The use of yard land through KRPL activities has been carried out since 2010, encouraging the community to meet its food consumption needs independently and support household-scale food security. In some locations, KRPL activities have not reached their full potential, limiting the achievement of the program's objectives. This study was conducted to analyze the influence of internal and external factors on the success of KRPL activities among KRPL participants. Respondents were selected using a saturated sample, namely 22 women farmers who participated in KRPL activities in Getas Village, Tanjunganom District. Data analysis was conducted using ordinal logistic regression with the aid of SPSS 30 software. The study's results indicated that age in the range of ≤40 years, a time expenditure of 1.5-3 hours/day, and POMOSDA support fall into the medium category, which affects the success of KRPL activities in Getas Village. Spending 1.5–3 hours/day is the factor with the strongest influence, with an opportunity ratio value of (-12,316) = 4,485. This research is beneficial for women farmers who participate in KRPL activities because women farmers can determine the success of KRPL activities, and further guidance needs to be provided to determine the sustainability and implementation of yard land management systems obtained from extension workers (the government) and POMOSDA (the private sector) to face food security challenges, especially at the household scale.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers of essential oils; however, its export competitiveness in the Chinese market has fluctuated over time. This study aims to analyze the level and dynamics of Indonesia’s essential oil export competitiveness compared to other major exporting countries in the Chinese market. The research uses secondary time-series data from 2011 to 2023 obtained from Trade Map. Competitiveness is assessed using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Dynamic Revealed Comparative Advantage (DRCA) methods. The findings reveal that Indonesia generally demonstrates strong competitiveness, except in 2011 when it was weak and in 2022 when it was moderate. Based on DRCA, Indonesia was classified as a “rising star” in 2011–2013 and 2017–2019, a “falling star” in 2013–2015, a “lost opportunity” in 2019–2021, and experienced a decline to the “lagging retreat” position in 2015–2017 and 2021–2023. These fluctuations are influenced by unstable production, limited product innovation, and quality standards that do not fully align with market requirements. To strengthen its competitiveness, Indonesia must enhance product quality, adopt technological innovations, and foster collaboration among stakeholders.

Abstract

By leveraging its potential as a new member of BRICS, Indonesia can enhance its international trade through increased economic and trade cooperation within the group. BRICS integration can help improve Indonesia's trade balance and reduce its dependence on traditional markets, as it provides Indonesia with access to new markets and opportunities to diversify its export partners. This is the first study to analyze Indonesian rubber competitiveness and key determinants specifically across BRICS-Plus countries following official 2025 accession, providing one of the first empirical assessments in the context of Indonesia’s prospective 2025 BRICS accession. Using Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and multiple linear regression methods with annual data from 2001 to 2023, the study evaluates both comparative advantage and the factors influencing export performance. The independent variables include the GDP of BRICS countries, Indonesia’s GDP, world rubber prices, exchange rate, inflation rate, population, and export restriction policy. The RCA results show that Indonesia holds a comparative advantage in most BRICS markets; however, competitiveness remains relatively weak in India and China, the two largest importers of Indonesian rubber. Regression analysis indicates that three variables significantly and positively affect Indonesia’s rubber export value, namely the GDP of BRICS nations, international rubber prices, and the rupiah exchange rate. These findings imply that macroeconomic coordination, diversification of export destinations, and stabilization of the exchange rate are crucial to enhancing Indonesia’s trade performance within BRICS. Strengthening competitiveness in key markets will be essential for Indonesia to optimize its economic gains and reinforce its position in the global rubber trade following full integration into the BRICS framework.

Abstract

The establishment of a tourist village with grapes as a tourist attraction in a suboptimal area is strongly influenced by the level of efficiency, both technically and economically. Suboptimal land in Pangandaran Regency is characterized by dryness, so inefficiency in input use can lead to low production and productivity levels in grape cultivation. Furthermore, the presence of a tourist village has an impact on the social life of the local community. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence grape cultivation as an agritourism activity. In addition, to measure the technical and economic efficiency of grape cultivation at the household scale. The method used in this study was parametric statistics with the Stochastic Frontier Analysis approach. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, comprising 60 respondents who cultivate plants. The research respondents were selected with the criteria of farmers who have grown grapes for more than 2 years. The results showed that the level of efficiency of grape cultivation in the yard has a technical efficiency value of 0.856. Factors that influence the level of technical efficiency are the number of trees, the amount of manure, the amount of growth fertilizer, and labor. Meanwhile, the socioeconomic factor that influences the level of technical inefficiency is the age of the farmer. The age of the farmer has a significant impact on the level of inefficiency in grape cultivation activities. The recommendation from this research is that input subsidy programs, such as compost fertilizer, should continue to be provided to grape farmers. Comparative studies with other tourist villages should be conducted to obtain market information. Additionally, training programs for the young generation in grape cultivation should be implemented to maintain agrotourism.
