Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of PT Mifa Bersaudara in increasing the productivity of coastal farmers and fishermen in West Aceh Regency through the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. As one of the main coal mining companies in the region, PT Mifa Bersaudara has a social responsibility to support the economic independence of communities surrounding the mine, particularly agrarian and maritime groups. This study employs a qualitative approach using descriptive methods. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, resulting in a total of 15 informants divided into three categories: the company's CSR management team (3 people), local community leaders and village officials (3 people), and farmer and fisher groups who are beneficiaries of the program (9 people). Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, direct field observations, and a review of documentation related to the program's implementation. The results indicate that PT Mifa Bersaudara plays a significant role as a facilitator and dynamist in coastal economic development. This role is manifested through the provision of business capital assistance, procurement of modern fishing gear for fishermen, and the provision of superior seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation infrastructure for farmers. In addition to physical assistance, the company also organizes intensive training on sustainable agricultural techniques and fishery business financial management. These programs have proven capable of gradually increasing farmers' crop yields and fishermen's catch volumes. However, the effectiveness of this productivity increase still faces several challenges, such as extreme weather fluctuations in coastal areas and the limited technological adaptation capacity of some target groups. Overall, the synergy between PT Mifa Bersaudara and the local community has contributed positively to strengthening food security and improving the economic welfare of coastal communities in West Aceh Regency.
