Sebuah Pandangan Personal tentang Analisis Dampak dan Cost-Benefit Analysis dari Dokumen "Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Indonesia on Reciprocal Trade" (US-IDN ART) untuk Bidang Pertanian dan Industri

 



Saya akan mencoba membedah secara mendalam naskah "Agreement Between the United States of America and the Republic of Indonesia on Reciprocal Trade" (US-IDN ART) yang baru saja dipublikasikan. Sebagai seseorang yang berfokus pada ekonomi pertanian, mengurai dokumen perdagangan internasional yang mengikat secara hukum ini sangat esensial untuk memahami prospek dari ekonomi makro kita. Perjanjian perdagangan resiprokal semacam ini pada dasarnya dirancang untuk mengurangi friksi pasar struktural dan secara definitif memperluas akses timbal balik, sehingga menciptakan keseimbangan makroekonomi baru bagi kedua negara yang berpartisipasi (Krugman, Obstfeld, & Melitz, 2018).

The "Fundamentals of Financial Statement Analysis" Online Course on Malakah Indonesia

 

 

I have finished an online course on Malakah Indonesia about the "Fundamentals of Financial Statement Analysis", which consists of Balance Sheet (Laporan Neraca), Income Statement (Laporan Laba Rugi), Statement of Cash Flows (Laporan Arus Kas), and Statement of Stockholders' Equity (Laporan Perubahan Modal). From the four statements and reports, I learned about the importance of financial ratios, which play a role in interpreting and understanding the meaning of the numbers in the reports and statements. The financial ratios consist of four measurements, which are about profitability, liquidity, leverage, and valuation. As a Junior Agricultural Economist, they helped me to understand the healthiness of a company or corporation, including agricultural business entities. As an Entrepreneur and Investor, they helped me to choose the right companies where should I invest on them, also they helped me to build good financial statements of Dzikra Yuhasyra's eCommerce Dzikra Yuhasyra's eCommerce that will be needed in the future when it grows bigger. So, let's learn more and continue to grow!

Kudos!

"Understanding Indonesia’s High Rice Prices: Structural Costs, Protection, and the Political Economy of Persistence" Working Paper by LPEM FEB UI

 


Author: Mohamad Ikhsan

 

Executive Summary

Rice remains the most politically and economically significant staple in Indonesia, yet domestic rice prices have persistently exceeded international and regional benchmarks. This paper examines the structural and institutional causes of Indonesia’s high rice prices by combining recent empirical evidence (Ikhsan, 2025) with earlier conceptual insights (Briones, 2012; Timmer, 1996). The analysis highlights three interrelated drivers: (i) production costs that are substantially higher than those of regional competitors due to labor intensity, land rent burdens, and fragmented holdings; (ii) post-harvest and marketing inefficiencies that add hidden costs despite relatively modest trader margins; and (iii) trade and price stabilization policies that prioritize self-sufficiency and producer protection at the expense of consumer welfare. The political economy of rice further explains why reform has been difficult: high rice prices serve as a political signal of state support for farmers, even though most of the poor are net rice consumers. The paper argues for a comprehensive reform agenda—what Ikhsan (2025) terms a “Green Revolution 2.0”—centered on technological innovation, mechanization, land reform, and post-harvest modernization, complemented by targeted social protection and calibrated trade liberalization. Without such reforms, Indonesia risks remaining locked in a high-price, low-productivity trap that undermines poverty reduction and structural transformation.

"The Experience Economy, Updated Edition" Audiobook by B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, Narrated by Alan Sklar on Audible

 

 
I have finished listening to an audiobook entitled "The Experience Economy, Updated Edition" by B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, narrated by Alan Sklar on Audible, and it's an interesting book!

The most captivating revelation in "The Experience Economy" is the assertion that goods and services have become commoditized, necessitating a shift where businesses must stage memorable events to create distinct economic value. The authors provocatively argue that "work is theatre," urging every employee to act with intention and every business to script its operations as a performance that engages the guest's emotions. Furthermore, they introduce the concept of "customer sacrifice," defining it as the gap between what a customer accepts and what they truly desire, which can only be bridged through deep mass customization. Ultimately, the book concludes that the economy's final frontier is the "Transformation Economy," where the customer becomes the product and businesses charge for the life-changing outcomes they help achieve

I would like to share with you about the insights and key takeaways from this book. So, here they are, happy learning and enjoying!

"Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life: Four Simple Steps, One Extraordinary Life" Audiobook by Taylor Grant and Dr. James Grant on Audible

 



Several days ago, I finished listening to an audiobook entitled "Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life: Four Simple Steps, One Extraordinary Life" Audiobook by Taylor Grant and Dr. James Grant on Audible. 

"Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life" serves as a practical manual for internal renovation, positing that the architecture of one's external reality is completely dependent on the quality of their internal thought processes. The book opens with the "Introduction", which establishes the core thesis: most individuals live life in reverse, attempting to alter their circumstances to change their feelings, rather than altering their feelings to change their circumstances. Taylor Grant and Dr. James Grant introduce the "Four Simple Steps" as a linear framework designed to dismantle the "Default Mode" of thinking—the subconscious programming inherited from childhood and societal conditioning—and replace it with a "Design Mode" of intentional living.

Time to Rise Summit 2026 with Tony Robbins's Notes

 



I would like to share with you the notes of the Time to Rise Summit 2026 with Tony Robbins, created by Denise Ackerman. I think it will be nice to learn from it. I watched the first day fully on the live session on YouTube's Link, but for the rest of the days, I will watch on the replays. But based on my experience on Day 1, it was always engaging and rooted on my mind about creating the breakthroughs in my life with building and making conditioned practices on our State, Story, and Strategy, which in the end is to make something impossible, become possible, and happen. 

Thank you so much to Tony for your dedication and love! Here are the notes 
of Days 1 -3 and the Bonus Day, happy learning and enjoying!

The event highlighted the collaboration between various institutions, including INSISTPress, the Center for Environment and Sustainability Science, and the Initiatives in Critical Agrarian Studies, all aiming to bring complex academic theories down to the practical realities of Indonesian farmers. As the responders, there were Mr. Angga Dwiartama, Prof. Iwan Setiawan, and Mrs Charina Chazali.
