Abstract

This empirical case study aims to examine the implementation of Kaizen Costing in improving cost efficiency and product quality in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in dairy-based beverage production. Through an in-depth single-case study approach, this research documents the implementation process, challenges, and outcomes of Kaizen methodology application in an MSME setting in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. The case study focuses on the MSME’s challenges in production cost control, quality consistency, and limited operational resources. A qualitative research approach was employed using a case study method involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that applying the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle within the Kaizen Costing framework successfully reduced total production costs by 13% per cycle, increased work time efficiency, and reduced defective products. Process innovations such as manual pasteurization tool modifications and the use of quality control tools like the fishbone diagram also contributed significantly to improving flavor stability and product shelf life. This strategy also positively impacted consumer perception, as reflected in an 18% increase in customer satisfaction scores. Therefore, Kaizen Costing proves to function not only as a cost control method but also as a strategic approach to creating added value within the MSME supply chain. The study recommends similar MSMEs to adopt the Kaizen approach systematically to support business sustainability and enhance competitiveness in the functional dairy beverage sector.

Abstract

As Nigeria’s artisanal gold mining (AGM) sector continues to expand, the environmental and socio-economic costs of this practice are becoming increasingly evident. This study examines the impact of AGM activities on aquaculture and livelihoods among fisherfolks with a focus on policy options for a more sustainable future. Multistage sampling was used to select 120 fisherfolks as respondents for data collection. Questionnaire was used for data collection. The findings revealed significant environmental degradation, including land degradation, water pollution and loss of biodiversity which in turn affected the livelihoods of fisherfolks. Thus, the productivity of fishery activities is limited and livelihood is affected, thereby leading to a low standard of life among fishers. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between mining activities and the productivity of the aquaculture industry in Nigeria (r = 0.624, p = 0.001). This study recommends community-led initiatives for environmental conservation and socio-economic development.

Abstract

Agriculture consists of various subsectors, including food crops and plantation crops, which differ in management systems and impacts. In recent years, the conversion of paddy fields into oil palm plantations has increased in several regions of Indonesia, indicating a shift from food-oriented agriculture to plantation-based agriculture that affects environmental conditions and rural livelihoods.This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the conversion of paddy fields into oil palm plantations in Central Barumun District, Padang Lawas Regency, and to compare paddy farmers’ income before and after land conversion. The study employed an interview-based survey of 27 farmers, with primary and secondary data analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. The results indicate that oil palm farm income significantly influences land conversion, while farmers’ age and farming experience do not. The average income increased from IDR 1,215,325 per hectare per month before conversion to IDR 1,690,852 per hectare per month after conversion

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the Rupiah exchange rate against the United States Dollar (USD) and international Crude Palm Oil (CPO) prices on the development of the value of Indonesia’s CPO export during the 2013-2023 period. The study employs secondary annual data obtained from Bank Indonesia, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), FAOSTAT, and World bank. A quantitative descriptive analysis with the Pearson Correlation approach was used to measure the direction and strength of relationship among variables. The result indicate that the Rupiah exchange rate has a positive relationship with the value of Indonesia’s CPO export, with a correlation coefficient of 0.588 (moderate relationship) and a significance value of 0.057, suggesting an economically relevant association though statistically insignificant at the 5% level. Meanwhile, international CPO prices exhibit a strong positive relationship with the value of Indonesia’s CPO export, with correlation coefficient of 0.701 and a significance value of 0.016. these findings confirm that fluctuations in international CPO prices have a more dominant influence on export performance than exchange rate fluctuations, as international prices directly determine the value of export transactions. Overall, the study concludes that the value of Indonesia’s CPO exports is largely influenced by global market dynamics and the stability of domestic macroeconomic conditions
