Smallholder oil palm plantations play an essential role in the Indonesian economy, both on a national, regional, local, and household scale. However, no data or studies show how much smallholder oil palm plantations contribute to achieving in each sustainable development goals (SDGs). The development of smallholder oil palm plantations, like other economic developments, wherever conducted needs to provide benefits to the community such that it exceeds the costs incurred, including the costs of preserving and protecting the environment. To assess its contribution, it is essential to examine the Sustainable Development targets in which smallholder oil palm plantations contribute. Therefore, this study is aimed at examining sustainable development goals to which smallholder oil palm plantations can contribute. Based on focus group discussion and the literature review, there are 13 SDGs for smallholder oil palm plantations that contribute and play a role in achieving the targets set by the United Nations in sustainable development. These results are significant as a basis for further studies to prove the presumption concerning the role and positive contribution of smallholder oil palm plantations in each of the existing SDG targets.

Small-scale fisheries are facing significant challenges from climate change. Fishers feel the impact of climate change, which forces them to adapt. We, therefore, analyzed local climatic changes, fishers’ perceptions regarding climate change and its impacts, adaptation responses, and determinants. Three decades of meteorological data were analyzed (1985–2020). A total of 300 fishermen were selected using quota sampling and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the descriptive and binary logit regression models to explain the determinants of adaptation responses. The findings indicate that fishers’ perceptions of climatic changes align with historical climatic data. Typologies of adaptation responses used in the study showed that time fishing adjustment was the most widely used adaptation option by fishermen. For this reason, fishermen are very active in looking for information about climate change to help them find the right time to go to sea and reduce the risk of climate change. Analysis using the binary logit regression model showed that fishing income, boat power, and climate change perceptions were the significant ( ) factors significantly influencing adaptation responses. Therefore, to strengthen the adaptation responses in small-scale fisheries, fishers’ perceptions should be considered.

As time progresses, humans are busy with activities every day. Urban communities tend to have poor lifestyles, especially in terms of diet. The existence of the YKLT (YKL) brand of fermented milk is one solution for maintaining body immunity during busy urban lives. This research aims to determine the influence of brand image, product quality, and price on consumer loyalty through consumer satisfaction with YKLT products. This research was conducted on consumers who consumed YKLT products in Bengkulu City. The number of samples taken in this research was 96 respondents using purposive sampling technique, data was collected by distributing questionnaires. The analytical method used is SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). The PLS (Partial Least Square) approach uses SmartPLS 3.0 software. The analysis results show that consumer satisfaction is not influenced by brand image (X1), but rather by product quality (X2) and price (X3). The X variables do not affect consumer loyalty. However, product quality and price can influence consumer loyalty if mediated by customer satisfaction.

Therefore this research aims to analyze the determining factors of dried fish production in Mukomuko Regency, Bengkulu Province. The study conducted in Mukomuko Province involves 67 dry fish producers as respondents. This study used descriptive quantitative method and multiple linear regression analysis with ordinary least square (OLS) method. The research results show that the value of R² is 0,8773. The results of the F-test show that the raw materials, labor, and capital are affected to the production of dried fish simultaneously. The T-test result indicated that the production of dried fish is subject to independent variables intermediates.
