Micro and Small Enterprises’ Export Competencies and Cooperation in Indonesia

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) have an important role in Indonesia to play not only as a source of employment but also growth of gross domestic product (GDP) and exports, specially manufactured goods such as garments, food, footwear, electronics, and crafts. To support MSME exports, the Indonesian government hopes to build stronger collaboration with them. Many journal articles regarding exports of MSMEs have been executed in developing countries. However, no research has been conducted concerning the cooperative role of MSMEs in supporting their exports. Therefore, this descriptive study filled the gap by analyzing the cooperation of MSMEs in supporting their exports in Indonesia by analyzing secondary data from the 2019 Profile of Micro and Small Industries (MSIs) in the Manufacturing Industry from the Indonesian Statistics (BPS) and online database from the Indonesian Minister of Cooperative and Small and Medium Enterprise. Although the data does not provide further information regarding how many MSEs are members of cooperatives who export, the scatter plot in this study shows that there is a positive relationship between the number of MSEs who export and the number of MSEs who are members of cooperatives. Even though other factors had a stronger influence on export competencies, cooperatives still supported MSEs to export their goods. This study contributes to more substantial empirical evidence on the relationship between cooperatives and MSMEs in Indonesia and developing countries.

Power sector decarbonisation in developing and coal-producing countries: A case study of Indonesia

Global efforts to transition away from coal within a decade encounter significant challenges, particularly in developing and coal-producing countries, e.g. Indonesia. Most current studies do not discuss the impact of coal phase-out on the upstream sector, which is important for coal-producing countries. This study aims to analyse Indonesia's power sector decarbonisation impact on the power and fossil upstream sectors. This analysis used VEDA-TIMES energy system optimisation using three scenarios: least-cost system (BAU), decarbonisation without coal phase-out (PA 1.5), and decarbonisation with coal phase-out (PA 1.5 PO). In all cases, decarbonisation will reduce the amount of coal used in energy systems. However, in a technology-agnostic transition, coal still constitutes 16% of total capacity in 2060. By this time, the coal-fired power generating assets have also transitioned to high efficiency, low emissions (HELE) technologies. CCS plays an important role in Indonesia's decarbonisation. A key implication of the coal phase-out scenario is the stranding of $9 bn worth of existing assets and an increased role for renewable energy and imported natural gas in 2035–2050, posing a notable threat to gas security within the industrial sector. In addition, the potential loss due to untapped coal reserves is estimated at $63 bn, while the cumulative net loss in the coal upstream sector amounts to $799 bn (0.26% of Indonesia's GDP and 3.7% of the coal-producing GDRP). Nevertheless, the total investment and electricity production costs exhibit negligible differences in the rapid VRE expansion, but it will reduce total investment by 24% in the low VRE buildrate.

Test For Germination of Cocoa Seeds (Theobroma cacao L.) Using Different Storage Lengths

Cocoa is one of the plantation commodities that has quite an important role in Indonesia's economic activities.

Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have played an important role in Indonesia’s economic growth, they bring various environmental problems. SMEs in the manufacturing sector, also known as small and medium industries (SMIs) are the majority of business entities in Indonesia and are one of the most significant polluters. This study focused on several SMIs located within two villages (i.e. Padamukti and Cibodas) alongside the Citarik River, which is one of the Citarum River tributaries. The study aimed to identify the concept of circular economy application by SMIs in West Java Province consisting of an understanding of (1) the circular economy concept and (2) internal and external factors of the circular economy application. In this study, we applied the snowball technique, closed questionaries, strengths-weakness-opportunities-threats (SWOT), and quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM). There were 10 selected respondents, including 4 respondents who were waste generators, while 6 respondents were classified as waste beneficiaries. The study found that 100% of the involved respondents had never heard or understood the concept of the circular economy even though they had partially applied the 5R principles. By using SWOT, driving and barrier factors were identified. The reprocessed waste became a strength factor, while the lack of knowledge and expertise in waste management were two major weaknesses. Meanwhile, there was attention and encouragement from the government for SMIs that implement environmentally friendly businesses as an opportunity factor, and insufficient market availability or consumers are part of the external analysis. Sequentially, using QSPM we suggest that socialization of the circular economy concept needs to be carried out in the wider community as the priority strategy and policy recommendations, followed by policymaking and guidelines for effective circular economy implementation.
