Abstract

Agrobussiness Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are those engaged in processing agricultural products into processed products. This business has an important role in creating added value to primary agricultural products, expanding the scope of marketing areas, expanding and increasing employment opportunities as well as telecommunications and marketing, increasing farmers' income sources as suppliers of agricultural products, and encouraging food security development. The development of Agrobussiness MSMEs in Majalengka District must be a concern for the local government, because it requires equal distribution of program socialization by involving the community, conducting comprehensive MSME assistance, improving synergy and coordination between agencies responsible for distributing assistance and coordination between the Central Government and Local Government. In addition, MSME actors must also improve their performance in running a business by paying attention to factors that affect the performance of MSMEs themselves such as the business environment and innovation. This research is conducted to see how specific business environment factors affect the innovation process in MSMEs and how these innovations then lead to overall performance improvement. While existing studies underscore the importance of creative marketing strategies and adaptation to the environment, no study has yet taken an in-depth look at the relationship between these two factors and how they influence each other. The population of this study is the owners of Agroindustry MSMEs in Majalengka District, the number of which is not known with certainty. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The number of samples taken was 148 respondents. Data collection using a questionnaire. Processing techniques use SEMPLS modeling equations. The results showed that the internal and external environment had a significant effect on innovation, and innovation mediated the influence of the internal and external environment on MSMEs performance. Innovation needs to be carried out by MSMEs to improve their performance by utilizing the potential and opportunities of their internal and external environment by encouraging employees to think creatively, share ideas, and create a work environment that supports experimentation and learning. MSMEs must also establish partnerships and collaborations with research institutions, universities and other institutions to access knowledge, technology and resources that can support innovation. As well as building and strong business networks with partners, suppliers, and customers to gain insights, feedback, and collaboration opportunities that can accelerate the innovation process.
