Analysis of Indonesia-Malaysia Cooperation in Improving the Quality of Sago Exports From the Meranti Islands Riau 2020-2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to analyse the form and effectiveness of bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia in improving the quality of sago exports from Meranti Islands Regency, Riau, during the period 2020–2022. The background to this study stems from the importance of sago as one of Indonesia's leading plantation products, which has high economic value and plays an important role in international trade, particularly with Malaysia as the main export destination. Although Meranti Islands Regency is the largest sago centre in Riau Province, improving product quality and export sustainability still faces several challenges, such as limited processing technology, low farmer productivity, and fluctuating market demand. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, collecting data through literature studies, observations, and interviews with the Meranti Islands Regency Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and sago industry players. The analysis was conducted using a liberalism perspective and the concept of international cooperation to explain how the two countries build mutually beneficial relationships, particularly through technology transfer, quality standard improvement, workforce training, and institutional support. The findings show that Indonesia-Malaysia cooperation has had a positive impact on improving the quality and value of sago exports, as evidenced by an increase in export volume in 2021 and the existence of assistance, processing, and quality standardisation programmes for sago. However, this study also identifies obstacles such as unfair trade competition, dependence on the Malaysian market, and weak supply chain coordination at the local level. Government efforts such as partnership facilities, international marketing, the opening of processing plants, and the launch of the superior sago variety Sagu Selat Panjang are important factors in promoting sustainable export growth.
