International Trade is an economic transaction carried out between countries. Among the items commonly stored are consumer goods, such as televisions and clothing; capital goods, such as machinery, raw materials and food. In almost all countries, international trade is an effort to increase GDP. Economic growth is an increase in the ability of a country's economy to produce both goods and services in quantity. In general, the high or low population of a country, the birth rate and death rate greatly influence a country's economy because productivity, education, and investment in physical capital since improving longevity create greater needs. The type of research used is qualitative research, qualitative research is research that produces several findings that cannot be obtained using statistical procedures or quantitative methods. With the existence of International Business in Indonesia, Economic Growth will increase. The reason is that the supply and increase for foreign products from the Indonesian people will continue to increase. For this reason, companies or industries in Indonesia will often experience increases and growth, such as the development of the textile, shrimp, coffee and so on industries. With the existence of international business, the prosperity and welfare of society in Indonesia is developing well due to the opening of various kinds of employment opportunities, so that there can be a reduction in the level of poverty in Indonesia.

This article examines the role of the agricultural sector in efforts to reduce poverty and enhance welfare in developing countries. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the extent to which the agricultural sector can contribute to the improvement of social and economic conditions in these nations. The research method involves the analysis of secondary data from various sources, including agricultural production data, food consumption patterns, and socio-economic and policy factors that influence the agricultural sector. The results of the study indicate that the agricultural sector plays a significant role in reducing poverty and enhancing welfare in developing countries. Firstly, the agricultural sector provides employment opportunities for a significant portion of the rural population, often the most vulnerable to poverty. Consequently, the agricultural sector contributes to increased income and access to economic resources for rural communities. Secondly, the agricultural sector also plays a crucial role in providing sufficient and affordable food for the population in developing countries. This positively impacts nutrition and public health, subsequently affecting the quality of life and overall welfare. By improving productivity and access to food resources, the agricultural sector can help reduce hunger and malnutrition. Thirdly, the agricultural sector has the potential to support national economic growth by supplying raw materials to the food processing and textile industries. This creates additional economic opportunities and enhances the competitiveness of developing countries in the global market.

Unequal and efficient distribution of crop yields is a challenge that is often faced in the corn farming industry. This can be detrimental to farmers because it results in a buildup of unsold corn crops in several areas. To overcome this challenge, a technology-based solution is needed so that it can reach customers easily by creating a website that aims to help equalize the distribution of corn harvests, with a more efficient system for managing corn supply and demand. By using an Agile approach in website development, It is hoped that it can produce a system that suits user needs in a short time. The design stage will be carried out using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) approach. In black box testing, it was proven that the use of websites to equalize agricultural products has been proven to be able to build a more efficient system for managing corn supply and demand. In addition, the services provided through the website can reduce product distribution costs and speed up the buying and selling process with customers. 

The increase in oil prices and other living expenses has contributed to the rise of illegal fuel adulteration practices. In order to make huge profits from the minimal cost of fuel production and distribution, certain individuals are willing to carry out these illegal practices, despite the risks and impacts they cause. The lack of knowledge and awareness in communities about adulterated fuels, as well as the lack of encouragement from the government to eradicate them, has also increased the number of these illegal practices. Being a progressive village with numerous people and activities, Passo Village needs a proper sustainable fuel supply. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness in Passo Village’s community about the characteristics and dangers of adulterated fuels in order to prevent their circulation and the practices involved. On account of this objective, the socialization program has been conducted in Passo Village in the method of material presentation.

The war between Ukraine and Russia has had a big influence on the world, especially from a political perspective. Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, February 24 2022 stems from internal conflict between the two countries. Due to this incident, Russia received criticism from the international community, including Indonesia. The United States condemned the invasion and imposed economic sanctions on Russia. These sanctions take the form of stopping the operations of Russian-owned financial institutions in the United States, freezing all investment assets and property of individuals close to the Russian President, as well as restrictions on Russian debt transactions. After being hit by economic sanctions, Russia was also subject to a crude oil embargo by the European Union and the United States. The war that occurred influenced the increase in oil prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, causing new challenges in the global economy. This research uses library research.

Indonesia's economic growth continues to increase and reaches inflation levels. As has happened in the last 2 years, there has been a quite drastic increase in inflation from 2021 of 1.56% and 2022 of 4.21%. This resulted in a decrease in rising inflation. Inflation is the impact of increasing or decreasing economic growth in a country. With increasing economic growth from trade activities or increased buying and selling along with increasing supply of businesses or producers, it can result in an increase in more buyers or consumers to shop, resulting in an increase in the prices of some good products or services market goods. One way to anticipate increasing inflation policies is that the government must control interest rates. Policies in this case must be made by the monetary authority in Indonesia, Bank Indonesia.

Oligopoly is a form of market structure where there are a few producers or dominate the market for a particular product or service. In an oligopoly, there are a few large companies that control most of the supply of goods or services, thus having the ability to influence prices and control competition. In an oligopoly market, each company will position itself as part of the market game. This certainly needs to be done because the profits they get are very dependent on their competing companies. Every policy taken by one company will greatly influence other companies so that competition will become increasingly fierce in terms of price and quality.

The conversion of agricultural land in large urban areas like Jakarta has the potential to threaten food security, therefore a breakthrough in the form of an efficient urban farming model is needed. This research aims to formulate a conceptual model of an automatic irrigation system integrated with a greenhouse or greenhouse that utilizes rain water harvesting as a solution for changing the function of agricultural land in urban areas. The research method uses a literature study by examining references from 12 scientific journals and 3 textbooks related to the topic of agricultural land conversion, agricultural irrigation systems, rainwater harvesting, and the greenhouse concept. The results of the conceptual model formulation show that rainwater collected in an underground reservoir can be utilized optimally and sustainably through an automatic irrigation system to supply the water needs of agricultural land in a greenhouse on the roof of a building. This model has the potential to be a solution for changing the function of agricultural land in urban areas while supporting food security. Further studies are needed regarding specific soil moisture for various types of plants as well as direct model testing.

One of the supports in the country's economy is market health, both the goods and services market, the money market, as well as the labor market. Market health depends on market mechanisms that are able to create a balanced price level, namely the price level generated by the interaction between healthy supply and demand forces. If this condition is reasonable and normal without any violations, such as hoarding (ikhtikar), the price will be stable. This type of research is library research. The result showed that the Shafi’I Mazhab emphasized the prohibition of tas’ir (price fixing) by the government because it would cause injustice to one of the parties in the market, while according to the majority of scholars tas’ir (price fixing) by the government is permitted and even obligatory on the ground of maslahat, namely to avoid hoarding (ihtikar), monopoly, and fraud commited by traders.

The problem that must be overcome by all parties is garbage. Society must take an active role to solve this problem. In an effort to safeguard the environment, the Maju Jaya Waste Bank has a role in sorting and processing waste. Organic waste will become fertilizer. Plastic or non-organic waste will be the raw material for the Paving Blok Prima Lestari Bumi Group. Paving Block Prima Lestari Bumi Group will process plastic waste into paving blocks. However, there are several problems faced. The problem faced by Prima Lestari partner Bumi Paving Blok, such as the lack of supply of raw materials for plastic waste, lack of operational equipment, which causes the production of paving blocks cannot maximize. The level of sales still cannot meet the target per month. Current marketing aspects are carried out by word of mouth and take part in exhibitions carried out by the local government or using social media. For Maju Jaya Garbage Bank, the problem is a large amount of operational costs to sort waste based on the type of waste. This is inversely proportional to income from processed products that are less than optimal. Some of the solutions offered to partners are several parts of training for the sale of goods, procurement of operational goods such as production machinery for paving blocks and machines that can sort waste by type to reduce operating costs.

The aim of this research is to find out how the basic price of furniture production is determined and constrained by Islamic economics in Taman Rajo District. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with primary and secondary data types. The data collection technique in this research uses observation, interview and documentation techniques, while for data analysis the researcher uses domain, textonomic and componential analysis. The results of the research explain that determining the basic price of furniture production according to Islamic economics in Taman Rajo District is carried out using several methods, including furniture business actors in Taman Rajo District determining or calculating the cost of raw materials used to produce furniture products. Business actors calculate labor costs which are calculated based on the results of the products produced and business actors calculate overhead costs which are costs incurred apart from raw material costs and labor costs in the production process. Obstacles in determining the basic price of furniture production according to Islamic Economics in Taman Rajo District include limited business capital which has an impact on determining production prices because the supply of raw materials is less affordable due to limited business capital for furniture business owners. Apart from that, the obstacle in determining the cost of production is that the strategic market target has not been achieved because the marketing strategy implemented by the business owner has not been maximized so that determining the cost of production is still based on the number of customers who order furniture products.
