Strengthening the Porang Creative Economy through Value-Added Production and a Communal Integration Business Model
Get PDFLocal food is a viable alternative to traditional food sources for meeting people's food needs. Central Java Province is a fairly high producer of porang. This is proven. One location with many farmers growing porang is in the buffer district of Surakarta City, namely Sukoharjo Regency. The production of food crops, especially porang in Sukoharjo, is what actually provides supplies to urban areas. Porang plants are sold in processed form, such as flour. The added value of this product increases economic value. The purpose of this study is to reveal the strengthening of the porang creative economy in Central Java Province through the creation of value-added products and the introduction of a communal business system that could potentially encourage porang production to become one of the iconic products in Central Java. This study uses a descriptive analytical method. This study utilizes primary data collected through direct interviews with farmers. The respondents of this study were 50 porang farmers in Sukoharjo Regency who are members of the Sukoharjo Porang Farmers' Friends (SPPS) in Kamal Village, Bulu District, Sukoharjo Regency. Data analysis used the Hayami method of value-added analysis and a literature review of the communal introduction system. The value-added analysis results show that glucomannan flour production generates an added value of IDR 199,641 per kg of porang tuber raw material with a ratio of 72.25%. The profit obtained by the trading business is IDR. 186,483 per kilogram of porang tuber raw material with a profit ratio of 68.68%. The communal introduction system enables the porang business to be well-managed, as there are still porang farmers outside Sukoharjo Regency who continue to plant. Communal integration can stabilize production supplies, thereby strengthening existing institutions and necessitating testing in the three districts involved
Comparative Study: Internal Marketing Value of Shallot Hydroponic Performance Using NFT vs. DFT Across Two Growth Periods
Get PDFUrban farming has emerged as a strategic response to the challenges of land scarcity and food security in metropolitan areas. This study investigates the financial performance and internal marketing value of shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) agribusiness cultivated hydroponically using Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) and Deep Flow Technique (DFT) systems across two planting cycles. Conducted as a case study at P4S Galih Jaya, the research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, combining direct observation, financial documentation review, and structured stakeholder interviews. Key metrics, production output, net income, Benefit-Cost (B/C) ratio, and Break-Even Point (BEP), were calculated using standard agribusiness financial formulas. Internal marketing indicators, including employee understanding, decision alignment, and motivation, were assessed through pre- and post-cycle surveys and integrated into participatory training sessions. Results indicated that the DFT system in cycle 2 yielded the highest net income (IDR 2,036,725) and B/C ratio (3.6), while the NFT system in cycle 1 incurred a financial loss (IDR -10,155) with a B/C ratio of 0.9. These findings were embedded into internal communication tools and stakeholder training sessions to foster data-driven decision-making. Internal marketing indicators showed marked improvement between periods, demonstrating the strategic value of integrating financial literacy into agribusiness operations. The study concludes that the selection of a hydroponic system not only affects profitability but also internal stakeholder engagement. The comparative study framework offers a replicable model for urban farmers seeking to align technical performance with internal adoption and strategic planning. Further research is recommended across successive planting periods to assess long-term viability and deepen internal marketing impact
Competitiveness of Indonesian Essential Oil Exports in the Chinese Market and Rival Countries
Get PDFIndonesia is one of the world’s largest producers of essential oils; however, its export competitiveness in the Chinese market has fluctuated over time. This study aims to analyze the level and dynamics of Indonesia’s essential oil export competitiveness compared to other major exporting countries in the Chinese market. The research uses secondary time-series data from 2011 to 2023 obtained from Trade Map. Competitiveness is assessed using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Dynamic Revealed Comparative Advantage (DRCA) methods. The findings reveal that Indonesia generally demonstrates strong competitiveness, except in 2011 when it was weak and in 2022 when it was moderate. Based on DRCA, Indonesia was classified as a “rising star” in 2011–2013 and 2017–2019, a “falling star” in 2013–2015, a “lost opportunity” in 2019–2021, and experienced a decline to the “lagging retreat” position in 2015–2017 and 2021–2023. These fluctuations are influenced by unstable production, limited product innovation, and quality standards that do not fully align with market requirements. To strengthen its competitiveness, Indonesia must enhance product quality, adopt technological innovations, and foster collaboration among stakeholders

The Success of MSMEs in Palm Oil Plantation Partnership Programs: A Case Study of PT “XYZ”
No full textThis research aims to uncover the factors contributing to the success of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within partnership programs. The study focuses on a population of MSMEs affiliated with PT XYZ, where 243 businesses were identified as successful in MSMEs development. Employing a saturated sampling method, the study's sample size consisted of 243 MSMEs. Data collection utilized tailored questionnaires for each variable indicator. The data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares with Smart PLS 4. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that Partnership Attributes have a significant direct effect on Partnership Programs (β = 0.954, p = 0.000) and Partnership Success (β = 0.436, p = 0.000). Additionally, Partnership Programs significantly directly affect Partnership Success (β = 0.363, p = 0.001). Apart from the direct impact, it was also found that the interaction between Partnership Attributes and Partnership Programs significantly moderates Partnership Success (β = -0.075, p = 0.011). This means that Partnership Programs can moderate the relationship between Partnership Attributes and Partnership Success, although with a negative direction. These findings indicate that an effective partnership in terms of attributes and programs contributes to business success. However, their interaction must be well managed to prevent any negative impact on partnership success. This research contributes to entrepreneurship and partnership management by providing empirical evidence of the effects of Partnership Attributes and Partnership Programs on Partnership Success in the context of MSMEs. The study highlights the significance of coordination, trust, and mutual benefits in fostering successful business partnerships. Additionally, the moderating role of Partnership Programs offers insights into how structured support mechanisms influence business outcomes. For further research, it is suggested that longitudinal studies be explored to assess the sustainability of partnership success over time. Future studies could also incorporate external factors such as market dynamics, digital transformation, and policy interventions to comprehensively understand MSME partnerships. Additionally, expanding the research scope to different industries and geographic locations would enhance the generalizability of the findings
Changes in Chemical Profile and Bioactive Potential of Cascara Water Kefir Probiotic Beverage During Fermentation
No full textThe global demand for functional food products is on the rise, with probiotic beverages, including water kefir and kombucha, emerging as the preferred options among consumers. Water kefir is produced through the fermentation of sugar-based solutions by water kefir grains and contains an extensive variety of probiotic microorganisms. Cascara, also known as coffee skin, has been recognized as a viable raw material for functional beverages that possess high antioxidant content. Nonetheless, a comprehensive understanding of the alterations in chemical compounds within cascara during the fermentation process remains insufficient, especially regarding the development of water kefir probiotic beverages. This study aims to identify changes in chemical profiles that occur during fermentation of cascara-based water kefir. The research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) method with fermentation times of 0, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The results showed significant increases in total acidity, with lactic acid rising from 2.25% to 8.10% and acetic acid from 1.50% to 5.40%, which correlated with a decrease in pH. Total phenolic content increased from 366.70 mg/L to 514.91 mg/L, while flavonoid content decreased from 703.12 mg/L to 265.62 mg/L. Additionally, tannin and caffeine contents increased significantly during fermentation, on the other hand the sugar content decreased over time. These findings suggest that fermentation enhances the bioactive potential of cascara-based water kefir, improving its antioxidant capacity while altering its flavor and chemical composition. This research contributes to the understanding of cascara's potential for probiotic beverages, providing valuable insights for the development of functional beverages. The suggestion for further research is the need to identify the bioactive effect of cascara water kefir beverages products on health benefit
Levels And Factors Influencing The Technical Efficiency Of Carrot Farming in East Java, Indonesia
Get PDFCarrots are a horticultural agricultural product with good prospects for development in East Java with a harvest area of 4,495 Ha and production of 8,9847 Tons. Apart from that, the increase in carrot consumption figures increased from 2021 by 1,354 kg.capita-1.year-1 to 1,429 kg.capita-1.year-1 in 2022. However, the productivity of carrot farming in East Java experiences fluctuations every year, which is influenced by production factors, so it cannot keep up with ever-increasing demand. This research aims to determine the level of technical efficiency of carrot farming and the factors that influence it. The methods used are Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Tobit regression. The research was conducted in Sumberbrantas and Wonokerso villages for 3 months, from July 2023 to October 2023. Sampling using the simple random sampling method. The research results show that carrot farming in East Java has still not reached the full level of technical efficiency, with an average VRS of 0.826. The opportunity to increase technical efficiency is 0.174 by improving the input combination to suit already technically efficient farmers. Factors that significantly influence the technical efficiency of carrot farming in East Java are land area, experience, and dummy land ownership status. Meanwhile, age, education and number of family dependents do not significantly influence the level of technical efficiency.
Optimizing Biotogrow Liquid Fertilizer Concentration and Application Frequency for Lettuce Cultivation Under Tropical Cambisol Conditions
Get PDFThis greenhouse study investigated the impact of Biotogrow liquid organic fertilizer concentration and application frequency on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) growth and yield at Telaga Kodok from May to August 2024. The purpose of the research is to determine the effect of Biotogrow Liquid Fertiliser concentration and fertilisation interval, as well as the interaction between the two, on the growth and production of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). Using a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications, researchers tested four Biotogrow concentrations (0, 2, 5, and 8 ml L⁻¹) and four fertilization intervals (0, 4, 7, and 10 days). Growth parameters, including plant height, leaf number, leaf area, fresh weights, shoot-to-root ratio, and harvest index, were measured at 14, 21, 28, and 35 days after planting. ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test (α = 0.05) revealed significant findings. Biotogrow concentration substantially influenced plant height at 21, 28, and 35 DAP (P < 0.01), leaf number throughout all observation periods (P < 0.05 at 14 DAP; P < 0.01 thereafter), plus shoot and root fresh weight, leaf area, and harvest index (P < 0.01). Fertilization intervals significantly affected all parameters except the shoot-to-root ratio (P < 0.01). Importantly, concentration-interval interactions showed highly significant effects on leaf number at 35 DAP, shoot fresh weight, and leaf area (P < 0.01), with significant impacts on plant height at 28 and 35 DAP, leaf number at 28 DAP, and root fresh weight (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that optimizing both Biotogrow concentration and application timing can significantly enhance lettuce productivity under greenhouse conditions
