Ecotourism development is one of the keys to economic improvement towards poverty alleviation. The methodology used in this study is descriptive quantitative with a survey method approach. The characteristics of households have a large impact on the development of ecotourism and poverty alleviation. Gender of the head of the household is an important aspect of the development of ecotourism and poverty alleviation. The average of the asset, health, and education of household members become the assets for the ecotourism development, however, the household size, dependency ratio, and employer also provides an important influence on the development. Research results show: 1. Household characteristics directly have a positive and significant effect on ecotourism; 2. Household characteristics directly have a positive and significant effect on poverty alleviation; 3. Household characteristics directly have a positive and significant effect on poverty alleviation through ecotourism. The implications of this study can be used as a basic consideration for local government or private sector for the ecotourism development as one of the programs on poverty alleviation in Lubuk Beringin Village.","PeriodicalId":229902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Trade 2019 (ICOT 2019)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122752340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Questionnaires and Focus group Discussion (FGD) are the instruments to collect data. These data were analysed using Regulatory Impact Assesment (RIA). The study found that the cement price disparity only occurs in some remote and border areas where logistics facilities are left far behind. Also, it was found that one price cement policy would be difficult to be implemented. The reasons were due to six barriers: (i) logistical costs from factories to consumers; (ii) differences in the policies for regulating freight transport that vary between regions; (iii) production centers in Java while consumption spread throughout Indonesia; (iv) ownership status of private cement factories; (v) limited of frequency transportation and variation of transportation modes; (vi) consumers' perceptions of cement brands vary in each region. However, from the perspective of CBA of RIA approach, there are only two policies that need to be considered seriously: regional targeted subsidy and ceiling regional retail price policies. This study recommends that regional targeted subsidy can be implemented to target region example Papua as the best option policy.","PeriodicalId":229902,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the International Conference on Trade 2019 (ICOT 2019)","volume":"152 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114061009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, little is known about the role of e-commerce in value co-creation initiatives for agri-food SMEs and specifically its role in the collaboration of business actors and customers where the overall objective of generating benefits from the exchange process. This study addresses the gap regarding the expected benefits of value co-creation in the agri-food market channel transformation. The transformation of fresh produce marketing in Indonesia, from a product-focused approach towards a customer-centric approach, was selected to explore value co-creation and its potential benefits, including the exchange of tangible resources, intangible resources and knowledge. A qualitative method was undertaken through indepth interviews with multiple agri-food actors. The findings illustrate that e-commerce involves fewer intermediaries through short food supply chains (SFSCs) by facilitating the engagement of multiple stakeholders. Agri-food co-creation via e-commerce provides a solution to address market needs through collaboration within the agribusiness networks. The ecommerce channels reveal the benefits for both agribusiness actors and consumers. The findings propose insights into the co-creation concept in an agri-food context through the online platforms, that will have a theoretical and practical contribution for future business and marketing.

For this reason, there is a need for a strategy to improve the economy sustainably, one of which is through increasing and stabilizing exports. However, so far the Indonesian export market has only been concentrated in the main destination countries (traditional countries) such as the United States, Japan and the European Union, which causes export performance to be unstable due to the economic shocks experienced by these destination countries. This happened in rubber tire products, from 2001-2016 exports increased but tended to be unstable. So that, to increase and stabilize rubber tire exports, we can do market expansion (diversification) to potentially nontraditional countries (besides the main export destination countries). The study aims to identify nontraditional countries that have the potential to diversify the export market of rubber tire derivative products using the Export Product Dynamic (EPD) analysis and analyze the variables that affect rubber tire exports to nontraditional countries in 20012016 using panel data regression. The results showed that potential nontraditional countries for the diversification of the car tire export market were Brazil, the Philippines, Canada, Mexico and Egypt, for bus and lorry tire were the Philippines and Mexico, while bicycle tires were the Philippines and Egypt. Variable real GDP per capita, export prices of rubber tires and economic distance affect the export volume of rubber tires. While the real exchange rate and the export volume of rubber tires apart from Indonesia have no effect.

NTMs are generally enforced to protect domestic producers and consumers in accordance with international rules and principles. Indonesia and India are the 4 and 2 most populous country in the world. Therefore, these countries are interesting subjects to see how NTMs are being implemented. The Normative Juridical Analysis of NTMs found that India has applied more Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) policy to other countries, but Indonesia has applied more Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) policy to other countries. On Bilateral Trade between India and Indonesia, India has applied more Contingent Trade Protective Measures (CTPM) to Indonesia, but Indonesia has applied more Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) to India. The descriptive analysis of NTMs show that Indonesia and India need to apply internationally accepted standard and treatment on its exported products, both agriculture and non-agriculture, to avoid unnecessary interception and rejection of entry to each other custom territory. Development strategies of trade that can be implemented as follows: (1) remove NTBs and streamline NTMs; (2) encourage trade facilitation; (3) address NTMs to protect the safety of humans, animals, plants and to improve the quality of life.
