Effects of Workforce, Tax Revenue, Unemployment, and Technological Advancement on Indonesia's Economic Development
Inflation and unemployment are trade-offs for economic growth, and prolonged unemployment lowers GDP. With a GDP growth of 5.05% in 2023, Indonesia showed its resilience and strategic adaptability in the face of global economic uncertainty. This research examined factors influencing Indonesia's economic growth using macroeconomic indicators and time series data from 1974 to 2023. Stationarity tests (ADF and PP unit roots) and Johansen's cointegration confirmed long-term relationships among eight variables. The ARDL model investigated short and long-term dynamics, including CUSUM/CUSUMQ plots, SMPAE, and U-Theil inequality to assess causal relationships and model stability. ARDL results revealed that labor force participation, tax revenue, trade openness, urban population, unemployment, and technological advancement significantly impacted Indonesia's economic growth. Tax revenue, trade openness, foreign direct investment, and technological advancement positively influenced short-term growth. Short-run dynamics showed immediate economic adjustments affecting macroeconomic indicators and growth. The research determined that labor force participation, tax revenue, trade openness, urbanization, unemployment, foreign direct investments, and technological advancement were crucial for Indonesia's economic growth. The study suggests allocating resources to training, education, and skill development programs to boost workforce efficiency. The government should promote domestic production of tradable commodities, employ strategic tariffs and subsidies, and promote competitive sectors. The administration should nurture innovation, enhance access to technology, and invest in education. The government should improve tax collection, expand the tax base, and direct revenue toward growth-stimulating projects. Studi about interaction on macroeconomic indicators supporting agriculture development strategy.
Factors Contributing to Corporate Farming Adoption Decision and Their Impact on Farmers’ Human Resources Performance
Corporate farming enhances agricultural efficiency and productivity, boosting sectoral competitiveness. Despite the Indonesian government’s efforts to establish corporate farming in multiple districts, the outcomes have fallen short of expectations. This study investigates factors influencing farmers’ decisions to adopt corporate farming and its effects on improving farmers' human resource (HR) performance. Key factors analyzed include support from farmer groups (Poktan), government, social networks, partnerships with the Business and Industrial World (DUDI), and initiator roles. Using data from 142 farmers in Temanggung and Wonosobo districts, collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed with SEM via SmartPLS 3.0, the study reveals that farmer decisions to adopt corporate farming are significantly influenced by Poktan support, government support, social support, and the initiator role. However, these decisions have no significant impact on HR performance. On the other hand, Poktan support, government support, and partnerships with DUDI directly enhance HR performance. To promote corporate farming, the study emphasizes the importance of strengthening Poktan, government, and social supports, alongside initiator roles. Furthermore, corporate farming activities require support from a highly skilled farmer workforce. The study also highlights the role of external factors, like DUDI partnerships, in improving HR performance. By integrating variables from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) into the agricultural sector, this study enriches the literature on corporate farming adoption and its impact on HR performance.
Reviewing Indonesian Wooden Furniture: Does Indonesia Have Comparative and Competitive Advantages in the United States Market?
The Indonesian wood furniture industry is a significant contributor to the non-oil and gas sector of the economy. Manufacturers are responsible for meeting not only domestic demands but also the needs of the international market. Nevertheless, Indonesia's status as a global exporter remains comparatively inferior to that of China and Vietnam. This study aimed to assess the comparative and competitive advantages of Indonesian wooden furniture globally. Employing a time series analysis spanning 21 years (2001-2022), the research utilized the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method and Porter’s Diamond Model to assess these advantages. The results of the study indicate that RCA analysis consistenly showed values greater than one. However, the study also identified fluctuations in RCA during the period of 2007-2011. Furthermore, the application of Porter’s Diamond Model revealed that Indonesia’s abundant natural resources, skilled labor force, and supportive industrial ecosystem are key factors contributing to its competitive position. Nevertheless, the analysis highlighted the need for continued investment in capital, particularly in terms of technology and infrastructure, to sustain and echance this competitive advantage.
The Influence of Farm Road Construction on Agriculture in Banjarnegara Regency
Farm roads are essential infrastructure that support agricultural business activities by improving access and transportation efficiency. This research aims to assess the impact of farm roads on agricultural productivity and to explore the related challenges and opportunities in Banjarnegara Regency. The study employs both primary and secondary data, with primary data collected through survey methods. Respondents were rice farmers from eight sub-districts in Banjarnegara Regency, providing diverse insights into local farming conditions. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The findings reveal a significant difference in farmer productivity prior to and following the construction of Farm Roads. The majority of respondents (60.34 percent) experienced an increase in productivity, indicating the presence of farm roads in Banjarnegara Regency has a beneficial effect on the local agricultural community. However, 13.79 percent of respondents reported a decline in productivity, while 25.87 percent had no change in productivity. The challenges and potential related to Farm Roads in the surveyed areas are largely representative of those in other areas of Banjarnegara Regency. This issue warrants attention from relevant local government agencies, as adequate Farm Roads are essential for farmers. These roads are not only vital for accessing farmland but also for transporting agricultural inputs and harvests. Improved access and transportation can significantly enhance agricultural productivity in Banjarnegara Regency.
Determinants of Farmers’ Herbicide Use Decisions: Evidence from Jelekong Village, Baleendah District, Bandung Regency, West Java
The use of herbicides for weed control is a common practice in rice farming. A variety of factors influences farmers’ decisions to use herbicides. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting farmers' decisions to use herbicides in Jelekong Village, Baleendah District, Bandung Regency. A quantitative research design was employed using a survey technique. The respondents consisted of 115 randomly selected rice farmers. Data were analysed using logistic regression and descriptively through the top two boxes analysis. The results indicate that cost efficiency is the primary factor influencing farmers' decisions to use herbicides. Other significant factors include ease of use, product effectiveness, and the size of the cultivated land. Another key finding is that informal social networks among farmers play a substantial role in the decision-making process, outweighing the influence of extension agents or promotional efforts from herbicide producers. These findings contribute theoretically by reinforcing the importance of socio-economic variables, particularly in farmers' decisions to use herbicides. In practice, this finding highlights the need for policy interventions that prioritize community-based extension strategies as an effective means of disseminating knowledge about herbicide use. These strategies must be integrated into farmers' social networks and tailored to their socioeconomic conditions and access to information because these factors significantly impact their decisions about herbicide use.
The Influence of Entrepreneurship Motivation and Self Efficacy on Agribusiness Students’ Entrepreneurial Intention
The growing number of university graduates in Malang, Indonesia, is not matched by the availability of formal job opportunities, encouraging many individuals to pursue entrepreneurship as a feasible career choice. Within the agribusiness sector, this opportunity remains largely untapped despite the abundance of local resources and market opportunities. The objective of this research is to examine how entrepreneurship motivation and self-efficacy affect the intention to become entrepreneurs among Agribusiness students at Brawijaya University. The research was conducted between October and December 2024 using a quantitative approach. Data were obtained from 80 active students with entrepreneurial experience using a structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that both entrepreneurship motivation and self-efficacy have a significant and positive influence on entrepreneurial intention, with an R-squared value of 0.637. This implies that 63.7% of the variance in entrepreneurial intention is explained by the two independent variables. The most influential factor within entrepreneurship motivation is the influence of social conditions, while the strongest indicator of self efficacy is the belief in achieving business goals. These results suggest that a combination of strong internal drive and self-confidence is essential in fostering entrepreneurial behavior among students. The implication of this study is the need for universities to strengthen entrepreneurship programs by integrating real-world experiences, mentoring, and exposure to successful role models in agribusiness. Enhancing these elements may better prepare students to become innovative entrepreneurs who contribute to sustainable economic development.
Determinant of Indonesian Frozen Shrimp Export Volume to Japan
Shrimp is a leading export commodity in the fisheries sector in Indonesia, playing a significant role in generating foreign exchange earnings, particularly through exports to the United States and Japan. Despite its importance, the volume of Indonesian frozen shrimp exports to Japan has fluctuated in recent years. This research investigates the key factors influencing these export volumes, focusing on frozen shrimp production, international shrimp prices, the USD to IDR exchange rate, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Japan). Data were sourced from UN COMTRADE, the World Bank, Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), and Trade Statistics of Japan. A quantitative research approach was employed, using multiple linear regression analysis to determine the relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that frozen shrimp production, the exchange rate, and GPD of Japan have a significant impact on export volumes, while international shrimp prices do not show a statistically significant effect. Among these, the GDP of Japan emerged as the most influential factor. Based on these results, policy recommendations include the enhancement of international branding, formulation of comprehensive production planning, and the improvement of product value and quality.
Farmers' Perceptions and The Impact of Agricultural Extension on Rice Productivity in Ciparay Sub-District, Bandung District
Agricultural extension officers are agents of change who play a vital role in transferring technology and knowledge to improve farmers practices. However, the failure rate of traditional extension activities remains quite high in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study examines rice farmers’ perceptions of extension officers’ performance and the impact of extension services on rice productivity in Ciparay District, Bandung Regency. A quantitative approach was used, with data collected through questionnaires from 80 rice farmers (40 active participants in the extension program and 40 non-participants). Descriptive statistics and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) were applied. Results show that farmers’ perceptions of extension officers’performance are moderate in responsiveness, responsibility, accountability, and service quality. Participation in extension programs positively impacted rice productivity, with participating farmers achieving 8.12 tons/ha more than non-participants. To enhance effectiveness, the local government should ensure a balanced ratio of extension officers to farmers, particularly in high-density farming villages. Capacity-building programs should be tailored to Ciparay’s agroecological conditions, focusing on water management, adoption of locally suitable high-yield varieties, and integrated pest management. Extension activities should be conducted regularly, aligned with planting seasons, and employ participatory methods such as field schools for hands-on learning. Additionally, improving meeting facilities, providing demonstration tools, and expanding access to digital agricultural information are crucial to strengthening extension services and sustaining productivity gains in Ciparay District.
Evaluation Of The Effectiveness of The Subsidized Fertilizer Distribution System In Bulukumba Regency
The distribution of subsidized fertilizer plays an important role in supporting agricultural productivity and food security in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer distribution among rice farmers in Jojjolo Village, Bulukumba District, based on five key indicators: type, quantity, location, price, and timing. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach with data collection techniques including questionnaires, in-depth interviews, field observations, and administrative documentation. The sample consisted of 23 farmers actively involved in the fertilizer subsidy program. The results showed that the distribution of subsidized fertilizer was fairly effective, with an average effectiveness score of 73.06%. Accuracy in type and location demonstrated the highest performance, at 91.3% and 87%, respectively, indicating that the RDKK-based needs planning system is functioning reasonably well. However, price accuracy (60.9%) and timing accuracy (52.2%) remain low, indicating challenges in price monitoring and distribution logistics efficiency. These gaps align with previous studies highlighting infrastructure issues, limited information technology, and weak coordination within the supply chain. This study concludes that while the distribution system demonstrates relatively good performance in some areas, improvements are still needed in logistics systems, price monitoring, and the utilization of digital technology. These findings provide important insights into agricultural input distribution in remote areas and serve as a foundation for future policy improvements.
The Assistance Quality, Farmer Characteristics, and Farmer Motivation Towards the Performance of Farmer Groups
The agricultural sector is vital in national economic development and the large contribution of farmer groups in increasing the effectiveness of farming businesses. However, the performance of farmer groups is still influenced by various factors, such as the quality of mentoring, farmer characteristics, and farmer motivation, which are not fully understood in depth, especially in Pitu Riawa District, Sidrap Regency. Therefore, this research aims to was to examine how assistance quality, farmer characteristics, and farmer motivation impact the performance of farmer groups in Pitu Riawa District, Sidrap South Sulawesi. The sampling method employed in this research was non-probability sampling using saturated sampling, which involved all farmers in 300 farmer groups from Pitu Riawa sub-district, Sidrap district. Data for this study were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) software. The findings revealed that both the quality of assistants and farmer characteristics had a positive and significant influence on farmer motivation. Additionally, the quality of assistants and farmer characteristics also had a positive and significant impact on farmer group performance. However, farmer motivation only had a positive but insignificant effect on performance. Furthermore, the quality of assistants positively and significantly influenced farmer group performance through farmer motivation, whereas farmer characteristics had a positive but insignificant effect on farmer group performance through farmer motivation. The implications of the results of this study indicate that improving the quality of assistants and strengthening farmer characteristics are the main keys in encouraging farmer motivation and improving farmer group performance. Hence, it is recommended that farmer empowerment programs focus more on improving the competence of facilitators and developing the capacity of farmers through continuous training and coaching.
Borich Needs Assessment to Design Sustainable Agriculture Adoption Interventions in The Context of Climate Change Mitigation
This study aims to assess extension needs to accelerate the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices as a climate change mitigation strategy in Nort Bulango District, Gorontalo Province, Indonesia. Using a mixed methods approach, the research integrates quantitative and qualitative data collected from 248 corn farmers across eight villages. The Borinch Needs Assessment (BNA) model is applied, incorporating innovation attributes and decision making stages from the Diffusion of Innovations Theory as the analytical framework. The assessment focuses on nine key components of sustainable agriculture, including reduced chemical fertilizer use, adoption of organic fertilizers, soil cultivitation use, chemical herbicide use, and waste management. Results indicate that soil tillage, particularly plowing, ranks as the top extention priority in five villages, revealing as significant gap between its perceived importance and farmers actual knowledge. The continued use of intensive plowing contributes to long term soil degradation and icreases erosion, yet farmer awareness of these impacts remains low. In addition, the widespread use of chemical herbicides and the limited application of organic fertilizers emerged as critical areas requiring targeted intervention. The findings underscore the need for responsive, context specific agricultural extension programs to promote sustainable farmis techiniques. Strengthening farmer knowledge and awareness through tailored extension service is essential for advancing environmentally sound agriculture and enhancing local adaptive capacity to climate change. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how the Borinch Needs Assessment (BNA) model can be strategically applied within a climate change dengan mitigation framework to identity and prioritize extension needs in developing country contexts.
Profitability Analysis of Urban Dairy Cattle Farming in Farmer Groups in Jakarta Metropolitan Area
Dairy cattle farming contributes significantly to global food security, yet research on urban dairy operations remains limited, particularly in metropolitan areas of developing countries where land scarcity and high operational costs present unique challenges. This study quantifies the profitability of smallholder dairy operations in Jakarta by examining production costs, revenue streams, return-cost ratios, and net profit margins under urban resource constraints. A survey conducted from October to November 2024 involving 56 active farmers used structured questionnaires and field observations. A Cobb-Douglas production framework analyzed through ordinary least squares regression identified determinants of milk output, complemented by descriptive examination of producer demographics, resource utilization, and economic indicators. Farmers averaged 49 years old with 13 years of formal education and 24 years of farming experience. Input allocation was found to be unbalanced, with forage and concentrates below recommended levels while tofu pulp and labor were excessive. Regression analysis indicated that lactating cow numbers and concentrate use significantly influenced milk production, while other inputs showed no significant effect. Feed, particularly tofu pulp, dominated the cost structure, with average annual production cost of IDR 280.2 million. Total annual revenue reached IDR 384.6 million, yielding net income of IDR 104.4 million. Urban dairy farming in Jakarta proved economically feasible with an R/C ratio of 1.37 and profitability of 37.27%. Metropolitan dairy production remains economically viable for small-scale operators through optimized feeding protocols, proactive animal healthcare, strategic policy support including input price stabilization and urban agricultural zoning, alongside revenue diversification for enhanced operational resilience.

Does healthy-chilli farming result in higher productivity and better farmers' term of trade than conventional farming?
Healthy chilli farming has the potential to increase both the output and income of farmers in improving farmer’s welfare through GAP implementation. The welfare of farmers encompasses more than just income and production, hence, the Farmer’s Terms of Trade (FTT) serve as a reference point for household prosperity in Indonesia. This research aims to: (1) compare the productivity of chilli farmers, (2) examine the farmer’s terms of trade, and (3) analyze the impact of productivity and other factors on the farmer’s terms of trade associated with three farming methods: healthy, semi-healthy, and conventional farming systems. The study was conducted in Sleman Regency, Indonesia, a region that has been implementing healthy-chilli farming system since 2021. A total of 106 farmers were interviewed, distributed across 6 areas known for their significant chilli production. The respondents were selected through a simple random sampling approach. The FTT is assessed through household income and subsistence terms of trade. The comparison of farmer productivity was analyzed using a Kruskal-Wallis H test. The findings indicate that the productivity of healthy-farming is higher than other two chilli farming systems. The FTT for healthy- farming is higher and classified as prosperous, while others do not yet reach prosperous level. Moreover, subsistence terms of trade of healthy and conventional farming statistically different. The increase of FTT was significantly affected by productivity, planting area, and price of chilli, while the number of family member, non-family labor cost, and household expenditures can decrease the FTT.
Sustainability Status Assessment of Urban Agriculture Types in Malang City
Urban agriculture (UA) and urban-peri-urban agriculture (UPA), is one of the approaches to improve sustainability of urban food system. Urban agriculture can increase access to fresh food for the community, by shortening the food supply chain. There are many impacts from ecological, economic, social dimensions. However, it is undeniable that urban agriculture also brings other negative impacts in various dimensions. Which directly or indirectly affect the sustainability of urban agriculture. Many urban agriculture have low sustainability. Malang City itself has the potential for urban agriculture. At least there are 7 types of urban agriculture in Malang City, namely (1) wetland/irrigated agricultural land, (2) Rainfed dryland farming, (3)recreational activity, (4) community gardening, (5) commercial farming, (6) agro-educational tourism, (7) institution. The purpose of this study is to assess the sustainability status of each type of urban agriculture. A quantitative approach, using the multidimentional scaling method and RAPHYTON tools was used to analyze the data. Primary data were collected from expert informant interviews, supporting informants, field surveys and observations. The results of the analysis showed that the sustainability level of urban agriculture various types in Malang City is generally in the moderately sustainable category. The ecological dimension of irrigated agricultural land is categorized as unsustainable. Conversely, the highest sustainability status (categorized as sustainable) is achieved by agro-educational tourism type agriculture in the social dimension. This research also suggests attributes that leverage the sustainability status of each dimension. One of them is the application of integrated agriculture to achieve ecological sustainability.

The investigation was conducted utilizing Basic Condition Modeling (SEM) based on fluctuation, particularly the Fractional Slightest Squares (PLS) approach. The result about show that cost emphatically impacts acquiring choices, item quality emphatically influences buyer characteristics, and customer taste incorporates a positive affect on acquiring choices for hydroponic vegetables. On the other hand, the connections between cost and customer characteristics, item quality and obtaining choices, customer characteristics and acquiring choices, customer taste and buyer characteristics, patterns and obtaining choices, and patterns and shopper characteristics were found to be negative or not measurably noteworthy, showing no significant impact on the choice to buy hydroponic vegetables
THE IMPACT OF CPO DOWNSTREAM POLICY IN THE DOWNSTREAM COOKING OIL INDUSTRY ON INDONESIAN EXPORT FOREIGN CHANGE
Cooking oil is one of the derivatives of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) food products, which plays an important role in life and the economy. Government policies downstream, such as changes in export taxes and increasing the production capacity of the downstream cooking oil industry, are designed to encourage the development of cooking oil production. This study employs an econometric equation model with simultaneous equations to: (1) analyze the factors affecting CPO demand by the cooking oil industry; demand and supply, as well as palm cooking oil exports (2) analyze the impact of changes in export taxes; increasing CPO production capacity and the combination of these policies on foreign exchange earnings from cooking oil exports. The findings indicated that changes in Indonesia’s CPO export tax reduced the volume of CPO exports globally but increased domestic CPO supply. Consequently, CPO prices declined, leading to higher demand from the downstream industry. Increased demand for CPO and higher production capacity in the downstream industry were expected to boost cooking oil production further.
