Abstract

This study examines the effect of production costs and scale efficiency on the net profit and production capacity of small and medium-sized palm oil processing businesses in South Sulawesi. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 150 respondents and analyzed with the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. The results show that production costs have a significant negative effect on net profit but do not significantly influence production capacity. Conversely, scale efficiency has a significant positive effect on both net profit and production capacity. Furthermore, production capacity mediates the relationship between scale efficiency and net profit, highlighting its strategic role in enhancing financial performance. These findings emphasize the importance of cost control measures and efficiency improvement strategies for achieving sustainable growth and competitiveness in the palm oil processing sector. The study offers managerial implications for SME owners and policy recommendations to strengthen operational performance in the industry.

Abstract

This study examines the convergence of public policy and social impact on drug rehabilitation for addiction in Indonesia using a literature review of 13 Scopus-indexed articles. Findings highlight that Indonesia has evolved in its drug policies from punitive measures towards incorporating rehabilitative interventions, although there continue to be prevalent challenges. These include stigma, poor infrastructure, uneven policy application, and lack of inter-stakeholder coordination. Models of rehabilitation both community and faith-based also have the potential for strengthening social reintegration and reducing recidivism. The research demands policy alignment, increased investment, and stronger multi-stakeholder coordination to achieve effective and inclusive rehabilitation. Evidence emerging from this research provides a foundation for evidence-based policy and program development particular to Indonesia's socio-culture.
