Pineapple is one of Indonesia's top three fruit commodities in terms of production volume. In 2022, Indonesia became the world's largest pineapple producer. Pineapple production in Indonesia has fluctuated but has generally shown an increasing and stable trend from 2013 to 2023, with expectations of continued growth. This study aims to analyze the influence of production, the wholesale price index, exchange rates, and export prices on Indonesia's pineapple export volume from 2013 to 2023. This research utilizes secondary time-series data on a quarterly basis, analyzed using multiple linear regression and classical assumption tests. The results indicate that production, the wholesale price index, exchange rates, and export prices simultaneously influence Indonesia's pineapple export volume. Partially, production and exchange rates have a positive but statistically insignificant effect on export volume, while the wholesale price index and export prices have a negative yet statistically significant impact. These findings highlight the importance of policies that can reduce production costs to enhance the competitiveness of Indonesian pineapples in the international market. Through synergy between the government, exporters, and farmers, it is expected that Indonesia's pineapple exports will continue to grow sustainably.

MotoGP is an international motorcycle racing event that attracts global attention and impacts various sectors, including the logistics sector. One important aspect of the MotoGP event is temporary imports, such as motorcycles, spare parts, and supporting equipment. This study aims to explore how to handle temporary imports using ATA Carnet in MotoGP cargo imports and identify challenges and solutions during the MotoGP cargo handling process. The method used is qualitative, with primary data obtained through observations and interviews, and secondary data from written sources, films, images, and monumental works. The data analysis techniques applied include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, with data validity tested using triangulation techniques and sources. The study results show that handling MotoGP cargo with temporary import status differs from general cargo, as it involves customs procedures and requires special documents such as ATA Carnet, Customs Notification of Special Economic Zones (PPKEK), and Temporary Import Permits for exemption from entry fees. The handling process must be performed quickly to save time, given the limited period for temporary imports before re-export. However, Customs personnel still face challenges related to the attachment of customs seals, so the company needs to evaluate the recruitment and training processes of workers. The solution is coordination between PT. Angkasa Pura Logistics and Customs for the addition of officers.

Economic growth is one of the main benchmarks for assessing a country's economic performance over time. Increased and sustainable economic growth are essential requirements for continued economic development. This study aims to explore the impact of foreign debt, foreign investment, inflation, and non-oil and gas exports, both individually and simultaneously, on economic growth in Indonesia. The data used in this study are time series for three decades, from 1994 to 2023. The methodology used in this study is multiple linear regression analysis, which aims to determine the effect of independent variables on dependent variables, both individually and simultaneously. The findings of this study indicate that simultaneously, foreign debt, foreign investment, inflation, and non-oil and gas exports have a significant impact on Indonesia's economic growth during the period 1994 to 2023. Separately (partially), foreign debt and inflation have a significant negative effect on Indonesia's economic growth in the period 1994 to 2023. On the other hand, foreign investment shows an insignificant negative impact on the country's economic growth in the same period. However, non-oil and gas exports have a significant positive impact on Indonesia's economic growth between 1994 and 2023.  

This research focuses on exchange rate fluctuations in Indonesia during the period of 2005 to 2023, influenced by various economic factors, primarily monetary policy and international trade dynamics. Exchange rate instability is a major concern because it can impact the national economy, including export competitiveness and macroeconomic stability. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to dissect the relationship between interest rates, export values, and wide money as it pertains to currency swings.  This study takes a quantitative approach by analyzing the relationship between the dependent and independent variables via multiple linear regression.  World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and Statistics Indonesia yearly time series data from 2005 to 2023 is used.  The findings show that broad money, interest rates, and export values significantly impact the swings in the Indonesian currency.  According to the findings of the multiple linear regression analysis, Interest rates and broad money have a positive and statistically significant effect on changes in exchange rates, but export values have a negative and statistically significant effect. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of appropriate interest rate policies and balanced broad money management to maintain exchange rate stability. Future researchers are advised to include global variables and more complex analysis methods.

The World Trade Organization, hereinafter referred to as the WTO, is an international organization part of the Economic and Social Council as an important component in international trade. In carrying out international trade activities, a legal instrument is needed to ensure the sustainability of trade and facilitate the resolution of disputes that will be experienced by the international community. The trade dispute between Indonesia and Brazil was caused by Indonesia's policy of stopping chicken meat imports from Brazil since 2009, causing Brazil to suffer huge losses because it could not export chicken meat to Indonesia. From the chicken meat import policy in Indonesia, Brazil demanded that Indonesia had carried out trade protection which violated various WTO rules. Indonesia's defeat in the DSB-WTO Panel was due to the many Indonesian policies that violated the WTO agreement and the inability of Indonesian representative diplomacy to resolve the dispute.

Tanjung Pinang City, with its natural resource potential in the form of bauxite ore, has experienced problems related to illegal mining activities (PETI) involving CV. Tri Karya Abadi. This case began with a report by PT Kemayan Bintan regarding theft and land grabbing in 2009. Investigations showed that CV. Tri Karya Abadi, despite having a limited permit, carried out exploitation outside the permitted area, utilizing heavy equipment and manipulative methods to obtain maximum profit. These activities resulted in the export of large amounts of bauxite to foreign countries. The investigation by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Tanjung Pinang Police faced procedural obstacles, but succeeded in determining the main suspect and documenting the violations through the Investigation Report (BAP). In its resolution, this case dragged various parties with the application of sanctions based on Law No. 4 of 2009. An important lesson from this case is the need for synergy between the community, the police, and related agencies to prevent and take firm action against illegal mining activities. Consistent law enforcement with a multi-door system approach is key to protecting the environment and ensuring legal compliance.

Dumping, characterized by selling goods at below-market prices in export markets, poses significant ethical and economic concerns in global trade. Islamic law (shariah), with its emphasis on justice, equity, and harm reduction, provides a unique lens for analyzing such practices. This review synthesizes insights from scholarly works to explore the compatibility of Islamic legal principles with anti-dumping measures. Key findings include Islamic jurisprudence’s proactive stance against predatory pricing (siyasah al-ighraq) for its potential to harm market stability and marginalize smaller producers. Studies show that Islamic law prioritizes public welfare (maslahah) and promotes ethical market behaviors, offering alternative regulatory perspectives to address trade malpractice. Through case studies like Indonesia’s WTO defense on paper dumping and comparative analyses with Saudi trade laws, this review highlights the robust ethical foundation Islamic law brings to contemporary international trade debates. The synthesis concludes by advocating integrative frameworks to harmonize Islamic ethics with global trade governance.
