Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structure of the hanjeli agribusiness value chain, identify opportunities for value addition, evaluate the marketing efficiency of hanjeli products, and develop strategies for the further development of the hanjeli agribusiness at the Pantastik Cooperative. The research was conducted from January to March 2025 using a qualitative descriptive approach and a case study method. Data were collected from 16 informants, comprising five hanjeli farmers, three cooperative managers, three agricultural extension officers, three business partners, and two government representatives. Data analysis involved value chain mapping and marketing margin analysis. Findings indicate that the hanjeli agribusiness is managed integratively from upstream to downstream, involving actors such as farmers, cooperatives, and supporting institutions. The processing stage contributes the highest value addition at 23%, while marketing efficiency remains low at 19%, primarily due to high distribution and promotional costs. Based on these findings, this study outlines several development strategies to address key bottlenecks across the value chain, including upstream coordination, processing improvement, and market access expansion. These strategic insights provide practical entry points for enhancing the sustainability and competitiveness of Hanjeli agribusiness in rural settings.

Abstract

Climate change significantly impacts the agriculture and food security sectors, especially in vulnerable areas such as Demak Regency, Central Java. In Demak Regency, frequent climate disruptions like floods and erratic weather have reduced rice yields and raised crop failure rates. This study aims to analyze rice farmers' perceptions of climate change and the factors that affect it, including age, gender, education, farming experience, production, and location. This study was conducted between December 2024 and February 2025. The method of this study is a descriptive quantitative survey with a sample of 160 farmer respondents selected purposively from coastal and non-coastal areas. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The data analysis used was multiple linear regression with SPSS 26. The results show that farmers' perceptions in coastal areas are higher than those of non-coastal areas. Age and location had a significant positive effect, while gender, education, farming experience, and production harmed the perception of climate change risk. Female farmers have higher perceptions than men, while farmers with higher education, experience, and production tend to feel safer, so the perception of risk regarding climate change decreases.

Abstract

Semi-organic rice farming is an environmentally friendly approach that aims to replace chemical pesticides with organic alternatives and gradually reduce chemical fertilizers in favor of organic farming. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and performance of semi-organic rice farming in Seputih Raman District, Central Lampung Regency. The farm performance indicators used are farm income, R/C ratio, production BEP, and price BEP. The research was carried out from September to October 2024. A total of 40 farmers participated as respondents in this study, selected using the census method. Data analysis methods include quantitative descriptive analysis, income, R/C ratio, production BEP, and price BEP. The results showed that the majority of farmers were of productive age, had primary and secondary education, 5-10 years of experience, and managed an average of 0.34 hectares of land. Farming practices involve reducing urea fertilizer by 18% and NPK Phonska by 40% of the recommended dose, while applying 20 liters/ha of organic pesticide. This condition is reinforced by the price of semi-organic harvested dry grain (GKP), which is IDR 500/kg higher than conventional GKP, thus increasing the bargaining position and income of farmers. Semi-organic rice farming generates income on cash costs of IDR 27,190,788/ha with a return on capital (R/C) value of 3.97, and income on total costs of IDR 17,980,936/ha with an R/C value of 1.98. The production BEP value was 2,887 kg/ha, and the price BEP was IDR 3,238/kg. This study concludes that semi-organic rice farming possesses supportive characteristics and demonstrates positive farming performance. The implication is that institutional strengthening and policy support are needed to promote wider adoption of this system.

Abstract

The combination of environmental degradation and inadequate engineering solutions has exacerbated flooding in Nigeria. Consequently, the study examined residents' awareness of forestry knowledge and practices. A 4-stage random sampling procedure was used, resulting in 250 participants selected via systematic sampling. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire on residents' demographic characteristics, awareness of environmental practices, and utilization of forestry land-use practices. The analysis of data involved frequencies, percentages, mean values, rankings, and inferential statistics using the Chi-square test. The results showed that 68.0% of respondents were female, with a significant proportion (78.0%) aged 21-50 years. Additionally, 74.0% were married, 40.0% were civil servants, and 22.0% were involved in trading. The residents' knowledge revealed that the prohibition on disposing of refuse into drainage and rivers had a mean score of 1.6 and ranked 1st, while the government's advisories on relocation from flood-prone areas had a mean of 1.1, ranking 2nd in awareness. Chi-square analysis showed significant relationships between tree planting and flood experiences (χ² = 8.18, p = 4×10^-3) and between tree conservation and marital status (χ² = 10.61, p = 0.01). Furthermore, there was a significant association between other demographics, such as marital status (χ²=7.99, p = 0.05) and years of residence (χ²=16.03, p = 3˟10ˉ³), and forestry land use practices (FLUP). Key findings emphasized the critical role of tree planting, conservation, and environmental education in enhancing ecosystem resilience and mitigating climate-related disasters, such as floods, in southwest Nigeria.

Abstract

Coffee is one of Indonesia's most important commodities, providing income for coffee farmers, generating foreign exchange for the country, and serving as raw materials for industry. In recent years, the number of coffee shops in Mojokerto City has increased significantly, in line with growing public interest, especially among the younger generation, in coffee culture. This increase has sparked intense competition among coffee shops, prompting business owners to develop precise positioning and unique differentiation. Customer experience is now determined not only by the taste of the coffee but also by the shop's atmosphere and overall product quality. Toko Kopi Bersaudara in Mojokerto, as one of the local coffee shops targeting the Generation Z segment, needs to understand how these elements are interconnected. This study examines the impact of shop ambiance and product quality on customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediator. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data collection was conducted in January and February 2025. Non-probability sampling techniques were employed, specifically a purposive sampling approach with elements of random sampling. With a sample of 100 respondents and WarpPLS 7.0 for data analysis, this study measured four variables: shop atmosphere and product quality (exogenous), customer satisfaction (mediation), and customer loyalty (endogenous). The model meets the criteria for both exogenous and endogenous models. The results indicate that store atmosphere and product quality have a positive and significant impact on Gen Z loyalty, mediated by customer satisfaction. To enhance satisfaction and loyalty, businesses can implement bundling strategies and membership reward programs. These findings provide practical insights and policy recommendations to improve Gen Z engagement and retention in small cafes like Bersaudara Coffee.

Abstract

Frozen tilapia fillets are the only farmed fish among Indonesia's leading fishery export commodities. Fierce competition requires Indonesia to maintain its position. This study aims to analyze the demand for and competition with major competitor countries in the international market for Indonesian frozen tilapia fillets. This study employs the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and estimates it using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) method. The data source is secondary data obtained from ITC Trade Map with HS code 030461 (Frozen fillets of tilapia "Oreochromis spp."). The analysis is based on panel data with monthly time series from 2014 to 2024. Meanwhile, cross-sectional data uses China, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and the USA as Indonesia's main competitors. The findings indicate that demand for Indonesian frozen tilapia fillets is price-inelastic, meaning it is relatively unresponsive to price changes. Indonesian frozen tilapia fillets are classified as inferior goods with an elasticity value of -0.478. This implies that a rise in consumer income will actually reduce demand. The cross-price elasticity indicates that Indonesia tends to compete with China, Taiwan, the Netherlands, and the USA. This is because the relationship between Indonesian frozen tilapia fillet and competing countries is one of substitution. The findings of this study reveal that Indonesia must focus on strategies to improve product quality and production efficiency in order to strengthen its position in the global market. Exporters need to increase the value of their products through diversification, quality certification, and compliance with international standards in order to survive and compete with rival countries.

Abstract

In recent years, microplastics and nanoplastics have become current challenges due to advancing food safety. Food packaging is one of the materials used in society by food enterprises; meanwhile, the growth rate of citizens is increasing, and the demand for ready-to-eat food may be a considerable issue for producing eco-friendly, biodegradable food packaging. Basically, biodegradable food packaging is developed from natural resources such as agricultural waste. Luffa acutangular fruit is a commodity produced in Asia, including Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze the techno-economic feasibility of biodegradable food packaging from Luffa acutangula fruit peel from engineering, sustainability, and economic perspectives. The method used in this study was to integrate engineering and economic evaluation to assess the feasibility of biodegradable food packaging from Luffa acutangula fruit peel at an industrial scale, to develop a broader, environmentally friendly product manufactured in Indonesia. From an engineering and sustainability perspective, we addressed the technical challenges of food packaging and also demonstrated future sustainability considerations for the circular economy in Indonesia. Besides, from an economic perspective, we analyzed the food packaging's economic feasibility to assess its profitability. Economic feasibility: Return on Investment (ROI) after tax is 94,42%; Payback Period (PBP) after tax is about 1,18 years; Break-Even Point (BEP) is about 52,09%. The BEP value for the chemical plant was in the 40%-60% range. It can support Indonesia's circular economy by reducing agricultural waste, especially fruit waste. For future research recommendations, the study should not rely solely on preliminary techno-economic feasibility assessment results but also on policy implications, life-cycle assessment, and ongoing cost-benefit analysis.

Abstract

Farm laborer households are economically vulnerable due to limited access to land and unstable incomes. This situation puts most farm laborer households in Tempuran Village under high economic pressure. Tempuran Village is an agricultural area where most residents depend on the agricultural sector, but many of them do not own land and therefore work as seasonal farm laborers with fluctuating incomes. This study aims to analyze the level of poverty experienced and survival strategies employed by farm laborers' households in Tempuran Village. This study was conducted in Tempuran Village, Paron Subdistrict, Ngawi District, using a mixed-methods approach, namely in-depth interviews and poverty line calculations from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) 2025, set at IDR 445,865 per capita per month. Data was obtained from 58 farm laborer households. The results of the study indicate that 76.8% of farm laborer households in Tempuran Village are classified as poor, consisting of 12.1% in the poorest category (n=7), 75.8% in the poor category (n=44), and 12.1% in the vulnerable category (n=7). Their average per capita income is only Rp 323,678 per month, reflecting limited access to economic resources and low capacity to meet basic needs. To survive economic pressures, farm laborer households use three main strategies: active strategies (seeking additional work in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors), passive strategies (reducing consumption and selling assets), and network strategies (utilizing government social assistance or support from family and the surrounding community). Of the 58 respondents, 62.1% implemented active strategies, 58.6% implemented passive strategies, and 77.6% implemented network strategies. Network strategies were the most dominant Strategy, indicating that most households relied on social support to cover income shortfalls. The findings of this study suggest that village governments and social service institutions should design targeted assistance programs.

Abstract

Ecosystem service valuation is essential for revealing the real benefits of community-based agro-tourism. It helps communities link environmental sustainability with local economic gains. Hence, this study aims to apply the Contingent Valuation Method, particularly Willingness to Pay (WTP), to capture the local community's views on improving ecosystem services in Bendhung Lepen. A total of 41 residents were used as the sample for this study. Then, we identify the factors that influence WTP. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze these factors. The analysis results show that the average WTP of the local community is IDR 8,414.63 per person. In addition, this study found that levels of education, the number of family members, and knowledge of ecosystem benefits significantly influence the amount of WTP for improving ecosystem services in Bendhung Lepen. The number of family members and education level have a significant adverse effect on WTP, while knowledge has a significant positive effect. The greater the number of family members and the higher the level of community education, the lower the WTP value. On the other hand, communities with higher knowledge of environmental conditions have been shown to have a higher WTP than those without. This finding implies that the local community has not fully supported efforts to improve ecosystem services in the area. Also, it provides insights for developing sustainable funding mechanisms and environmental education strategies in community-based agro-tourism. Institutional support can be provided to educate residents so they can achieve a similar level of environmental knowledge and awareness.

Abstract

Village food security is a strategic issue influenced by social, economic, and environmental dynamics. Pajeng Village, Gondang Subdistrict, Bojonegoro District, faces food security challenges due to declining rice production and shifting agricultural commodity markets. This study aims to develop a food barn management model that can support the food security of farming households. This study offers a new contribution by integrating group activities, institutional, and technical aspects of production into a single adaptive analysis framework and by placing food barn performance as the primary mediating variable. The study uses a quantitative approach involving 68 randomly selected food barn member farmers and is analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that group activities, institutional aspects, and technical production have a positive and significant effect on food barn performance but do not directly impact household food security. Conversely, food barn performance proved to be a key mediator, significantly improving the food security of farming families. These findings confirm that strengthening the function and governance of community-based food barns is a determining factor in achieving household food security. In terms of policy, this study recommends the development of adaptive, participatory village food barns that are integrated with local institutions as a sustainable strategy to strengthen rural food security.
