Abstract

Urban agriculture has been increasingly developed in response to the growing conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural areas in urban regions. However, urban agriculture activities still face several challenges, particularly practical, efficient, and environmentally friendly fertilization practices. Pupukin! is an innovative, multifunctional slow-release organic fertilizer developed by utilizing organic waste materials such as banana corms, shrimp shells, and neem leaves as the main raw materials. This study aims to analyze the business model and financial feasibility of Pupukin! fertilizer business in supporting urban agriculture activities. The study employed a quantitative approach using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to describe the business structure, as well as financial feasibility analysis, including production cost calculation, profit analysis, Revenue Cost Ratio (R/C Ratio), Payback Period (PP), and Return on Investment (ROI). The results indicate that the Pupukin! business model offers a key value proposition in multifunctional organic fertilizer that is practical, environmentally friendly, and efficient to use, making it suitable for urban agriculture practitioners. Financial analysis shows that the Pupukin! business is economically feasible, indicated by an R/C Ratio of 1.48. Furthermore, the business demonstrates a favorable investment return with an ROI of 48% and a relatively short Payback Period. These findings suggest that the Pupukin! fertilizer business has strong potential to be further developed as a sustainable agricultural innovation that supports the advancement of urban agriculture.

Abstract

Stunting has long been a major issue in Indonesia,  the government to implement a policy under the Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 39 of 2020, which mandates biofortification of rice varieties, including IR Nutrizinc rice, to improve food quality in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the impact of the IR Nutrizinc rice cultivation program on farmers’ income and exchange value in Serang Regency, Banten Province, from October 2024 – December 2024. The feasibility analysis showed that IR Nutrizinc rice farming was profitable, as indicated by an R/C ratio greater than 1. The Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) results showed that the NPCI value of IR Nutrizinc rice was 1.06 (>1), indicating government support through input policies within the IR Nutrizinc program. However, the NPCO value of 0.96 (<1) indicated that the output price received by farmers was still below the ideal economic price. The PCR and DRC values of less than 1 indicated that IR Nutrizinc rice farming was economically efficient and had both competitive and comparative advantages. Nevertheless, the EPC value of 0.95 and PC value of 0.85 showed that policy distortions still caused farmers’ profits to be suboptimal. This condition was also reflected in the SRP value of -0.14, indicating a disincentive effect where private profits were lower than social profits. Despite this, the IR Nutrizinc program still contributed positively to farmer welfare, as reflected by the increase in the farmer exchange rate from 1.03 in non-IR Nutrizinc farming to 1.30 in IR Nutrizinc farming in Serang Regency.

Abstract

The salted fish processing business is undertaken to enhance the shelf life of fisheries products in the post-harvest stage through processing and preservation methods, as well as to generate profit from the sale of salted fish products. These processing and preservation activities necessitate an analysis of the added value derived from transforming fresh fish into salted fish. This study aims to analyze the value added of processing fresh fish into salted fish in Rebo Village, Sungailiat District, Bangka Regency.  The research method employed is a case study with a census technique covering all salted fish business operators.  There are eight salted fish business operators who serve as respondents, categorized into two groups: large-scale enterprises and small-scale enterprises.Data analysis was conducted descriptively and quantitatively using the Hayami method to calculate the value added generated by processing activities. The results indicate that most fish species processed exhibit high value-added ratios (>40%), including lesi, tamban, ciu, and liban fish, while teri falls in the moderate category The high value added demonstrates that salted fish processing significantly enhances the product's economic value through the difference between output and input values, while also contributing to labor income and entrepreneurial profit. However, the variation in value-added ratios across fish species suggests opportunities for efficiency improvements and innovation, particularly for commodities still in the moderate category. Overall, the salted fish processing business in Rebo Village has strong prospects for development as a local-resource-based agroindustry to improve community income.

Abstract

A follow-up study is important to evaluate the competitiveness of UPJA Cahaya Bintang through benchmarking analysis against similar business units in other regions. The results show that UPJA Cahaya Bintang has a well-structured organization and diversified services; however, it still lags in terms of financial feasibility, utilization of digital technology, and partnership development. The benchmarking analysis reveals the need for strategies to strengthen institutional capacity, diversify services, enhance human resource competencies in technology application and digital outreach, and reinforce partnerships to improve the competitiveness of UPJA Cahaya Bintang. This study recommends organizational restructuring with a clear division between technical and administrative functions, implementation of digitalized operational processes and recording systems, innovation in the diversification of agricultural machinery rental services, capacity building for human resources, and strengthening partnerships with formal institutions.

Abstract

Soybean production in Indonesia in 2022 will only be able to meet 5% of soybean consumption needs. Import traffic for this commodity increases the risk of Peronospora manshurica. P. manshurica is a quarantine plant pest organism that causes downy mildew epidemics. Hoyer's solution is known to increase the shelf life of characterization results, thereby increasing time and energy efficiency in quarantine activities. The problem formulation for this activity is how to characterize the results of imported soybeans using Hoyer's solution. This activity aims to analyze the results of the characterization of imported soybeans using Hoyer's solution. Characterization of imported soybeans is done by direct test with the following stages: 1) administrative inspection, 2) sampling of imported soybean seeds, and 3) direct test. The observation results showed the presence of P. manshurica. The imported soybeans were proven to be infected with P. Manchuria, which visually had greyish-white crusty seed coats. Hoyers' solution effectively extends the life of preparations and is efficient because P. Manchuria is difficult to identify and cannot be grown on culture media. The discovery of fungi-like white crust symptoms on imported soybeans became the basis for the Animal, Fish, and Plant Quarantine Center's decision to provide fumigation or heating treatment to 80°C before distributing the commodity.

Abstract

Cocoa is a strategic commodity that contributes significantly to Indonesia’s agricultural export performance. However, its export performance has fluctuated due to global price dynamics, exchange rate volatility, and variations in export volume. This study analyzes Indonesia’s cocoa export performance from 2015 to 2024 using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The secondary data include export volume, export value, average export price, and the rupiah exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. The SEM-PLS results indicate that export volume has a strong and significant positive effect on export value (β = 0.64, p = 0.000), demonstrating that increases in export quantity play a major role in enhancing Indonesia’s cocoa export performance. Export price shows a positive but marginal effect (β = 0.28, p = 0.056), suggesting that price movements contribute to export value but are not statistically significant at the 5% level. Meanwhile, the exchange rate has a significant negative effect on export value (β = −0.47, p = 0.001), indicating that rupiah depreciation tends to suppress cocoa export performance. The model explains 74.2% of the variance in export value (R² = 0.742), reflecting strong predictive capability. These findings provide an empirical basis for formulating data-driven strategies to strengthen Indonesia’s cocoa export performance through improvements in production capacity, pricing strategies, and exchange rate stability.
