With the agility of supply chain, competitive advantage can be maintained by business people by responding to environmental changes quickly and facing uncertainty. This research investigates the impact of supplier innovation on supply chain agility with information sharing and strategic resource as a mediator. At the same time testing the effect of information sharing and strategic sourcing on supply chain agility. The research sample used 65 coffee shops which were obtained from the response of the owner or manager of the coffee shop in Malang Area, known as the city of a million coffee shops. The rapid development of coffee shops in Malang Area demanding coffee businesses to respond quickly to changing consumer trends by maintaining the supply of coffee beans from the highest quality suppliers. This study was analyzed using structural equation modelling methods. The results revealed that supplier innovation significantly influences information sharing, strategic resources and supply chain agility. In addition, information sharing and strategic resources have a strong influence on supply chain agility. Thus, managers and or coffee shop owners need to establish good and sustainable relationships, especially to deal with changes in the business environment.
The demand for corn in Indonesia is dominated as raw material for animal feed, so the high and low price of corn will have a big impact on the price of livestock products such as chicken and chicken eggs. The Covid-19 gives an impact on the uncertainty of food commodity prices. As we know, food price stability is one of the supports for maintaining a balance of production and consumer buying power. This study aims to analyze the price volatility of corn, chicken meat, and chicken eggs in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. The ARCH/GARCH model was used as an approach to analyzing volatility in the monthly prices of corn, chicken meat, and chicken eggs at the consumer level during the January 2011-June 2020 period. This research showed that the price of corn and chicken is categorized as high volatility category, while chicken eggs are a low volatility category with the form is asymmetric. It can be concluded that the price uncertainty faced by consumers in the future for corn and chicken meat will be bigger, while chicken eggs will be decreased. Therefore, it is expected that the government will make policies for maintaining the stability of food supply and prices.
COVID-19's negative externalities disrupted the supply of several commodities. Meanwhile, to combat the spread of COVID-19, various countries have implemented a lockdown policy, which impacts the economy's balance. Consumers' risks are increasing due to economic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which affects the higher level of volatility of various agricultural commodities in Indonesia, particularly strategic commodities. Thus, this research was designed to examine the experience shock of strategic food consumers during Covid-19 pandemic. The ARCH/GARCH model was used to describe the strategic food price movement pattern using a set of weekly consumer price data from March 2020 until August 2021. This study found price volatility of strategic food commodities is classified into three categories. For starters, the extreme volatility of commodities such as garlic and cayenne pepper indicates that future buyers will face more significant uncertainty and risk. Furthermore, these commodities will generate fluctuating price swings in the future, resulting in greater experience shock for consumers. Second, commodities with high price volatility, such as rice, chicken meat, eggs, shallots, and sugar, signal that these commodities will subject consumers to a huge shock due to their high price volatility. Third, minimal volatility, such as that found in meat, red chilli, and cooking oil, indicates that customers will face less uncertainty in the future.
The increase of unsustainable human activities in watershed areas gave a huge pressure, causing land degradation and reduced the river water quality. This study aimed to describe the land use management and calculate the carrying capacity as a part of natural resource management of Bangsri Micro Watershed, the upper Brantas watershed in East Java, Indonesia. Data was gathered from five villages through interviews, questionnaires, and focus group discussions with multiple stakeholders. In addition, data from the local government statistics bureau (i.e., Statistics Indonesia) was also used. From the total 2,765 ha land area, eight different land use were identified with agroforestry (970 ha) being the largest and bare land (43 ha) being the smallest. There were 17 crop patterns with 10 different commodities recorded. Based on the present land use, the total land monetary value (biocapacity) was 298 billion Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) or equal to 27,278 tonnes of rice production. From the total population of 27,645; the total annual income (i.e., ecological footprint based on the minimum wage and real household income) needed is 577-854 billion IDR (72,101-106,771 tonnes of rice), thus considered as a deficit carrying capacity value. An urgent watershed management planning is needed to reduce the environmental pressure while ensuring the fulfilment needs of the people in Bangsri Micro Watershed.
