Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality dimensions on tourist satisfaction at Kampung Coklat agrotourism in Blitar Regency, East Java, Indonesia. As a popular agrotourism destination offering education on cocoa cultivation and chocolate processing, Kampung Coklat has significant potential to contribute to the local economy. However, gaps remain in the implementation of integrated and sustainable marketing strategies that align with tourist expectations. Using the ServQual model, this research applies multiple linear regression to measure the partial and simultaneous effects of five service quality dimensions—tangibles, responsiveness, empathy, reliability, and assurance—on tourist satisfaction. Data analysis shows that the service quality variables collectively explain 69.9% of the variation in tourist satisfaction, while the remaining 30.1% is attributed to external socio-economic factors such as income, education level, and household size. The t-test results indicate that empathy, reliability, and assurance significantly affect satisfaction, whereas tangibles and responsiveness do not have a significant impact when considered individually. The findings suggest that high-quality service, particularly in terms of emotional connection, trustworthiness, and staff competence, is essential to enhancing tourist experiences. Although limited by the scope of variables considered, this study offers valuable insights for agrotourism managers in designing strategies to improve service satisfaction and promote return visits.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the level of financial literacy and examine the influencing factors among independent oil palm smallholders operating in the tidal land areas of Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Despite the region's significant agricultural potential, particularly in oil palm cultivation, local farmers often face financial vulnerability due to limited financial knowledge. Using a sample of 100 respondents selected through simple random sampling across Wanaraya, Tamban, and Barambai Districts, the study evaluates financial literacy based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) framework and applies binary logistic regression to identify key determinants. The Wald test analysis confirms that income, formal education, proximity to financial institutions, and individual risk preferences significantly influence financial literacy among the respondents. Specifically, higher income and more years of formal education are associated with increased likelihood of being financially literate. A shorter distance to financial institutions also positively affects literacy, suggesting that physical access to financial services supports better financial understanding. Additionally, individuals with higher risk preferences tend to have greater financial literacy, potentially due to increased engagement with financial decision-making. Conversely, age was found to have no significant effect, which confirms that financial literacy is not inherently tied to a person’s age or life stage. Instead, it is determined by exposure to financial knowledge, access to resources, and engagement with financial practices, factors that vary regardless of age. While the study is limited by its regional scope and sample size, it offers critical insights for policymakers and stakeholders in promoting targeted financial education programs for rural agricultural communities. The findings emphasize the need for accessible, context-specific financial literacy initiatives to enhance the economic resilience of smallholder farmers in underdeveloped regions.

Abstract

Consumer satisfaction is an emotional response that arises when expectations toward a product or service are fulfilled; conversely, disappointment emerges when those expectations are not met. Amid the rapid growth of the café or coffee shop industry in Malang City, consumer satisfaction has become an increasingly important aspect to consider. However, many business operators have not yet systematically conducted surveys or evaluations of customer satisfaction regarding the services they provide. As a result, the potential for improving service quality remains underutilized. This study was conducted at Jazz Café, located in Jetak Ngasri, Mulyoagung, Dau District, Malang Regency, East Java. The objective of this research is to measure the level of customer satisfaction and to identify service elements that require improvement to enhance service quality. The study employs the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method. Data collection was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires containing 19 attributes to 50 respondents. The data processing stages included an analysis of respondent characteristics and IPA analysis, encompassing the measurement of conformity between performance and customer satisfaction, as well as the mapping of service attributes within a Cartesian diagram. The findings indicate that the overall customer satisfaction level is 89.30%, suggesting that the services have met customer expectations. The attribute with the highest satisfaction level is the ease of the payment process, 102.34%, while the lowest is the availability of supporting facilities, 54.78%. The quadrant analysis reveals that most attributes fall into Quadrants II, III, and IV, indicating that customers are generally satisfied with these attributes. However, there are five attributes located in Quadrant I that require greater attention: employee politeness in treating customers, the availability of supporting facilities, comfort and quantity of seating, product and service quality in relation to price, and the café’s interior design. These attributes are considered important by customers, yet their execution remains suboptimal.

Abstract

Rote Island holds significant potential for seaweed development; however, the existing marketing system has yet to provide adequate welfare guarantees for seaweed farmers, as well as for other market participants. This study aims to analyze the structure, conduct, and performance of the seaweed market in Rote Barat District, Rote Ndao Regency, using the Structure-Conduct-Performance (SCP) approach. A mixed-methods research design was employed, with primary data collected through questionnaires and interviews involving 38 seaweed farmers and other market actors. The findings indicate that the market structure is oligopsonistic, with a concentration ratio (CR4) of 17.49% and a Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) of 10,000, reflecting a highly concentrated market. Barriers to market entry are also substantial, as evidenced by a Minimum Efficiency Scale (MES) of 62%. In terms of market conduct, prices are determined unilaterally by large traders and aggregators, while farmers tend to act as price takers. Market performance reveals high marketing margins and low farmer shares, indicating an unequal distribution of profits that disadvantages producers. Therefore, policy intervention and institutional strengthening, such as the formation of seaweed cooperatives, are necessary to foster a more transparent and equitable market system.

Abstract

The price volatility of broiler chicken, a strategic food commodity in Indonesia, becomes a critical issue that escalates significantly during each Ramadan period. This annual phenomenon negatively impacts consumer purchasing power and the sustainability of culinary MSMEs. This study aims to analyse the patterns and measure the persistence level of broiler chicken price volatility to understand the market dynamics during this high-demand period. Using weekly time-series data from the National Strategic Food Price Information Centre (PIHPS) from March 2017 to April 2023, this research applies the Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) model. The analysis begins with the ADF stationarity test, the ARMA model identification, and the ARCH effect test to validate the use of the GARCH model. The results show that the price data is stationary at the level and exhibits a significant ARCH effect. The GARCH (1,1) model was selected as the best fit for capturing volatility dynamics. The estimation results indicate the presence of volatility clustering with a high degree of persistence (α + β = 0.743). The larger GARCH coefficient (β = 0.485) compared to the ARCH coefficient (α = 0.258) shows that past volatility has a stronger effect on current price changes than new events do. A high level of persistence implies that a price shock will not dissipate quickly, suggesting that reactive, short-term stabilisation policies are likely to be less effective.

Abstract

The government is trying to maintain domestic food self-sufficiency by promoting field school programs to increase institutional empowerment of farmer groups to adopt technology in order to maintain land productivity and farming. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence farmers' responses to Farmer Field Schools (FFS)-Integrated Crop Management in the Batu Keliang Farmer Group. The research location was deliberately selected in the Batu Keliang Farmer Group, Pejaring Village, Sakra Barat District, East Lombok Regency because it participated in the SLPTT program. Respondents used a census technique involving all members of the population as respondents, totaling 25 people. Data were analyzed using a Likert scale and multiple linear functions. The conclusion of the study is that farmers' responses to the SLPTT rice field program in the Batu Farmer Group were simultaneously 65.9% influenced by all independent variables of age (X1), education (X2), land area (X3), rice farming experience (X4), number of family dependents (X5), and active participation in the program (X6). While the partial influence has two significant independent variables, namely education (X2) and number of family members (X5).

Abstract

Mahetsy MSMEs processes pak choy vegetables into functional food products, such as pak choy vegetable flour, to extend shelf life and increase added value. However, the amount of added value generated from the processing is unknown. This study aims to analyze the added value generated from processing pak choy vegetables into pak choy vegetable flour by Mahesty MSMEs. The qualitative and quantitative approach employs a purposive sampling method, specifically using business actors as key informants. Data were obtained through interviews, direct observation, and internal company documentation. The analysis method in this study used the Hayami method. The results of the analysis showed that the added value generated from processing one kilogram of pak choy vegetables for IDR 22,000 into pak choy vegetable flour provided an added value of IDR 45,000, or 46.7 percent, which falls within the high added value category (more than 40 percent). This study demonstrates that processing pak choy vegetables into flour offers high economic value to raw materials and holds promising business prospects for developing functional foods. This study suggests that Mahesty MSMES systematically strengthens the system of recording costs and production administration to improve business efficiency and sustainability. The results of this study can serve as a reference for making strategic decisions, as well as encouraging the innovation of derivative products and the development of partnerships to expand the market for Mahesty MSMEs' products.
