Nowadays, more and more e-commerce platforms are emerging, creating a highly competitive environment for both individuals and groups. User experience and interface are key factors in attracting users' attention and fulfilling various needs to survive in a crowded market. In this context, the author proposes the prototyping of a chicken egg sales application named EiTech Supply in Cilacap Regency. This application is designed to overcome the problems that chicken egg farmers often face, such as competition between regions and the entry of new farmers with very low prices to attract customers. With the EiTech Supply application, it is expected to reduce these problems and increase the competitiveness of chicken egg farmers both inside and outside the region.    

The catfish (Pangasius sp.) is a popular freshwater fish among consumers, both in Indonesia and internationally. One of the main challenges in catfish farming is the suboptimal use of feed. The commonly used feed consists of natural and artificial types. Natural feed is divided into two categories: animal-based and plant-based. The animal-based natural feed frequently used by farmers is tubifex worms. However, tubifex worms have a drawback, as their availability in the market is limited. Therefore, a study was conducted to explore the use of Azolla as an alternative feed for catfish. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with one treatment and two levels, namely 100% Azolla and 100% tubifex worms. The study was conducted over a period of 14 days. The observed parameters included fish growth (length and weight), survival rate (SR), Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), and water quality (temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen). The data from the study were analyzed using a mean value test. The results showed that the use of Azolla as feed had a positive impact on catfish growth, although it was not yet effective in fully replacing 100% tubifex worms. There was an increase in biomass of 13.8 grams and an average length increase of 0.56 cm during the 14-day maintenance period.

Sukomulyo is a village located in Kaliwungu Selatan District, Kendal Regency, most of whose residents work as farmers. The rice fields in Sukomulyo village are irrigated using river water which is taken directly from the Waridin River with a diesel water pump. The process of irrigating the rice fields takes a long time, so the water pumps are simply left alone by the farmers because they are doing other activities. Often farmers forget to turn off the water pumps they turn on, resulting in wasteful use of river water and fuel. When the dry season arrives, there could be a decrease in the river water discharge to the ground which has the potential to result in farmers not being able to irrigate their rice fields with water. To overcome this problem, the Sukomulyo farmer group in collaboration with the PPL (Agricultural Extension Worker) of Kaliwungu Selatan District built a water pump house which is used for their rice field irrigation needs. With the construction of the water pump house, it is hoped that it can irrigate farmers' rice fields during the dry season and can increase agricultural production in Sukomulyo Village and can reduce farmers' worries when the river water does not flow

Annual increases in tobacco excise rates increase state revenues, but also pose challenges for tobacco farmers and conventional and e-cigarette entrepreneurs.

This research aims to analyze the effect of the increase in Tobacco Products Excise rates as of January 1 2022 on sales of e-cigarettes at KDR Vapor Stores. This research is a type of descriptive research with a non-statistical quantitative approach. The data used includes changes in the selling price of e-cigarettes after the increase in Tobacco Products Excise rates, as well as sales and gross profit data for 2021 and 2022. Data collection techniques in this research are interviews and observation. The research results show that the increase in Tobacco Products Excise rates in 2022 will have a positive and significant influence on KDR Vapor Store sales. This means that the increase in excise rates on tobacco products in 2022 will increase sales at KDR Vapor stores. The increase in sales was followed by an increase in gross profit and COGS. Gross profit in 2022 will increase by IDR 914,349,630,- and COGS will increase by IDR 409,633,370,-. Gross Profit Margin Ratio percentage results for 2022, the KDR Vapor Store is considered to still be unable to run its business efficiently because the Cost of Goods Sold is relatively higher than the previous year. Suggestions for KDR Vapor Shop owners are to set competitive prices, regularly evaluate stock, and purchase products in large quantities to reduce the impact of increases in Tobacco Products Excise (CHT) rates. Expanding product variety, setting daily sales targets, and innovating with vouchers or giveaways are also important to attract and retain customers.
