Abstract

The advancement in cultured meat research in cellular agriculture has greatly surged. The concerns of halalness and thayibban (cleanliness and permissibility to consume) of cultured beef meat will arise among Muslim consumers, prompting the question, “Who will consume the cultured meat, and are Muslims ready to consume it?” This study aimed to clarify how Muslims perceive cultured meat and the issues surrounding their acceptance. A chi-square test and a binary logistic regression analysis were applied to reveal the acceptance of cultured meat. The results revealed that 44.1% of the respondents accepted cultured meat as their food, while 55.9% expressed doubts due to religious concerns. Their attitudes toward cultured meat influenced their decision to accept it as food. Some consumers had high expectations for cultured meat because they believed it would be superior in taste and have nutritional value and health effects. In conclusion, those Muslims who did not doubt cultured meat accepted it as future food with expectations for better function and value.

Abstract

The cassava agroindustry is an essential part of the food sub-sector, and as it provides economic benefits for business actors from upstream to downstream. The development of the industry has been focused on aspects of cultivation, whereas the aspects of processing, marketing, management, and business innovation also need support. This study aims to formulate strategic orientations of SMEs in developing cassava-based agroindustry. This exploratory study was conducted on SMEs in the agroindustry with products made from cassava. A total of 115 SMEs in Central Java Province were taken as samples using stratified random sampling. Factor analysis was performed with the Principle Component Analysis (PCA). The strategic orientations covered product focus and short-term orientation to survive; market knowledge and flexibility; long-term orientation for market penetration or development; product development innovation to create differentiation; and reactive strategy orientation for stability. These five aspects should be considered to win the competition, build a competitive advantage, and face changes in the business environment. However, implementing them required the commitment of cassava-based SMEs, government support, and the development of collaboration with larger industries. Thus, the strategic orientations could be applied as a regional policy to improve the business performance in the cassava agroindustry in Central Java.

Abstract

A proliferation of Korean restaurants in Yogyakarta can be seen over the past few years, each with its unique concept. However, a survey on Google Star Rating suggests that not all of these restaurants are sustainable. The significant discrepancy between expectations and actual satisfaction of consumers is likely a contributing factor. Moreover, intense competition exists between these restaurants. This study aims to identify which aspects of marketing—such as product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence—influence Korean restaurants’ consumer needs. Using the Kano model, consumer satisfaction was analyzed by classifying consumer needs into attractive, must-be, one-dimensional, indifferent, reverse, or questionable categories. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were employed to select 100 respondents to complete a questionnaire. The results unveiled that four of the seven marketing mix attributes needed by Korean restaurants’ consumers fell into the one-dimensional category. The features consisted of physical evidence (clean dining room), people (clean and tidy employee appearance), product (good taste), and process (timely service). Furthermore, the attributes of unique offers (D1); fast service (F2); menu information, ingredients, how to cook it (E3); and affordable food prices (B1) contributed to greater consumer satisfaction. These attributes boosted consumer satisfaction by 80%, 79.8%, 74.5%, and 73.7%, respectively.

Abstract

Farmers’ entrepreneurship and communication skills have been widely discussed in the literature. However, mapping the linkages and comparisons between the two needs to be addressed more. Therefore, this study attempts to map the literature on the two topics. The literature documents were collected from the Scopus database from 2012 to 2022. A bibliometric approach was employed. The findings revealed that literature documents on farmers’ entrepreneurship outnumbered those on farmers’ communication skills. The Journal of Sustainability and Journal of Rural Studies published the highest number of literature documents on the two topics. The highest number of literatures on farmers’ entrepreneurship was elaborated in developing countries, while that of farmers’ communication skills was studied in developed countries. Therefore, scholars and policymakers in developing and developed countries faced challenges in raising the number of literature documents on farmers’ entrepreneurship and communication skills to enhance agricultural business for both old and young generations.

Abstract

The Central Lampung Regency is the center of cassava production in Lampung Province, the Indonesia’s largest cassava-producing province. Cassava has much promise; however, various risks arise throughout the value chain. Risks in the agricultural sector, including cassava farming, are unavoidable and severely impact stakeholders and consumers. This study aimed to identify the risks and the most effective mitigation measures for the cassava value chain. This research was conducted using the House of Risk (HOR) method, divided into two phases: HOR 1 and HOR 2. It involved 286 samples encompassing 263 farmers, six traders, three tapioca industries, eight non-tapioca industries, and six financial institutions. The risks were determined through the Supply Chain Operational Reference (SCOR) model. The results unveiled several priority risks in the cassava value chain, consisting of unpredictable weather changes, scarcity of fertilizers, the absence of farming standards, limited capital, delivery technical problems, price fluctuations, negligence of the workforce, default credit, and lack of customer or farmer knowledge leading to confusion. Furthermore, the risk mitigation actions covered preventing the risks of cassava farming; applying appropriate technology; utilizing production, marketing, and financing system assistance; preventing the risks of cassava trading business; implementing a structured market system; developing access to financing, institutions, and markets; developing marketing infrastructure; developing adaptive farming; monitoring during the credit period; socializing risk management to employees; and providing institutional, financing, and production assistance.

Abstract

The term “rural entrepreneurs (RE)” has become a social and rural development factor in developing countries, particularly Indonesia. This research aimed to analyze the dynamics of rural entrepreneurship and describe the typology of entrepreneurship. This research was conducted in three typologies of villages, such as (1) agricultural industry, (2) agritourism, and (3) traditional area, in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through village observation, in-depth interviews with 90 informants, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The dynamics of rural entrepreneurship were affected by various factors: (a) politics, (b) social networks, and (c) economics. Furthermore, three typologies of RE were identified: (1) political-based RE, (2) economic asset-based RE, and (3) social network-based RE. Meanwhile, entrepreneurs could accumulate rural resources, comprising local government and social-economic networks. In summary, the primary keys to encouraging social development in rural areas were providing access to economic assets and social networks and boosting entrepreneurial spirit.

Abstract

Succession is crucial in the small-scale dairy cattle business, predominantly managed by family members. The process of preparing a successor in a dairy farming family is a challenging endeavor. This study aims to explore the succession process through family business participation, the factors influencing a successor's participation, and succession patterns in family dairy farming. This study employed a quantitative method for multiple regression model and a qualitative method to compile the opinion of the succession patterns. The results revealed the low successor participation index for family business due to restricted time. Six variables significantly influenced successors’ participation in family dairy farms: family size, gender, employment status, number of dairy cattle, age, and farm size. The study’s findings generated two succession patterns: farm transfer and farm handover. The succession patterns preserved the existence of family dairy farms in Pangalengan District, West Java, Indonesia. Therefore, this study suggests to encourage the participation of potential successors to ensure the sustainability of family dairy farming.

Abstract

The widespread concern about the devastating impact of climate change, especially in the agricultural sector, has become severe. This paper aims to explore and predict the impact of climate change on oil palm production using future climate conditions projected by the National Water Research Institute of Malaysia (NAHRIM). An error correction model (ECM) and autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) cointegration approach were applied to assess the short-run and long-run impact of climate change on oil palm production. The estimated short-run coefficients disclosed that the oil palm own price and fertilizer use positively affected oil palm production in the second lag period, and increased acreage benefited oil palm production in the long run. The rainfall variable negatively affected the second lag period but positively rose oil palm production in the long run. The results of forecasting analysis revealed that SN1 (minimum climate variability), SN2 (maximum climate variability), and SN3 (average climate variability) would increase oil palm production by 5%, 1%, and 2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the oil palm yield would rise from 16.73 t/ha in 2020 to 16.89 t/ha in 2030 under SN1. However, with maximum rainfall, the yield would drop to 16.41 t/ha in 2030. Overall, climate change would likely reduce oil palm yield. This research could serve as empirical guides for policymakers and oil palm stakeholders in terms of practical and policy implications to adapt to climate change-related risks and uncertainties. The practical cover investments in technologies, such as developing drought-tolerant and early-maturity crop varieties, boosting water saving, and reducing evapotranspiration.

Abstract

Major concerns about the food security involving wheat production emerged when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine worsened because both countries were the main suppliers of wheat to 38 countries. This study aims to explore the competitiveness level of wheat production countries and the future exporters that may lead to global wheat production during the Russia-Ukraine crisis. This study analyzed the comparative advantages of the five largest wheat exporters from 2001 to 2021 using the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and revealed symmetrical comparative advantage (RSCA) indices to examine the current level of wheat export competitiveness of the five major exporters. This study also predicts the three major wheat-producing countries (excluding Russia and Ukraine) using 83-month observations to forecast the autoregressive integrated moving average in the next six months. The findings disclosed that all major wheat countries were strongly competitive, and the forecast unveiled that Australia is capable to lead the wheat producing countries in the next six months. This evaluation was derived from the ARIMA approach’s forecast, demonstrating Australia to be statistically greater than the USA and Canada.
