The business strategies of Nagari Lansek Kadok copra entrepreneurs, the factors that hinder these entrepreneurs, and the development strategies carried out by traders in this area are things that need to be improved if the residents of Nagari Lansek Kadok, South Rao District, Pasaman Regency can make improvements. to see an increase in their income. The reason behind this is that they continuously incorporate new ideas into the development of their company. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the human resource development strategy to overcome the limited workforce in Risse Convection Sungai Pua, Agam Regency is: 1. Lack of workforce at Risse Konveksi resulted in reduced production of sharia clothing on the market, workforce competency occurred due to the lack of special training for employees, resulting in the work being completed more slowly or not on time. To overcome this problem, Risse Convection implements an annual reward system, and employee training is carried out personally. For new employees, Risse Convection uses its convection advantages in innovative sharia clothing designs to be able to recruit employees from the surrounding area or outside the village/nagari as well as the use of social media to promote new design innovations to reach a wider audience and increase brand visibility. 2. By using the SO (Strength-Opportunity) strategy method, namely optimizing existing strengths by taking advantage of existing opportunities. The SO (Strength-Opportunity) strategy that can be applied in increasing employment at Risse Convection is: utilizing excellence in innovative sharia clothing design to recruit employees from the surrounding area or outside the village/nagari and maintaining an annual reward system for employees who work hard to improve motivation and productivity.

This research was carried out on the basis of describing promotion analysis in the development strategy of a sustainable tofu trading business in Simangambat village, Siabu sub-district, Mandailing Natal district by taking a case study in Simangambat village, Siabu sub-district, Mandailing Natal regency, which is one of the villages whose community has a tofu trading business, namely Sustainable tofu.  This research was conducted from October 2023- July 2024. This research method uses a qualitative approach where this research describes, explains and interprets objects according to what they are. Data validation was carried out by gathering information from several informants who were directly related to the Tofu Trading Business.  Apart from that, the researcher also carried out direct observations at the research location to verify the data whether the data obtained from the informants was in line with reality data or not. As a result of this research, the author concludes that the promotion analysis in the development strategy for the sustainable tofu trading business in Simangambat village still cannot be said to be optimal. This can be seen from the marketing system of tofu factories which has not kept up with the times and is still developing a system through a system of entrusting it to stalls. So sustainable tofu businesses must develop systems such as using social media for marketing so that the business they manage can develop further and can also compete with other tofu businesses.
