Pro-environmental producer behavior is increasingly important to realize an environmentally friendly business. The research aimed to identify the knowledge, attitudes, religiosity, and behavior of the food small and medium enterprises (SME) producers towards the environment; and to analyze the influence on the SMEs’ performance. The research object was SMEs of “Tempe chips” in Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. The results show that the majority of producers already have knowledge of the green raw materials and production process, but only a few of them know about green packaging. The producers’ attitude supported the environmentally friendly production process, although it was still at a lower level than religiosity. The producers’ behavior is still less pro-environment in terms of raw materials usage, production process, and packaging. They have implemented water and energy saving, but have not been able to avoid plastic packaging. The SEM results showed that the producer’s attitude influences their behavior toward environment, meanwhile, religiosity negatively moderates the attitude in affecting producer behavior. The producer’s behavior positively influenced the SME’s performance. The recommendation given is to socialize the use of environmentally friendly packaging to sell at a premium price targeted to the middle to upper consumer segments.

This study aims to investigate the impact of the exchange rate (rupiah against the United States dollar) on exports of goods and services, as well as imports of goods and services. This study uses data from 2000 to 2019 by modeling "autoregressive vectors" to understand causal relationships between variables. This research is based on secondary data from the world bank. We use the exchange rate of the rupiah against the United States dollar, exports, and imports in Indonesia as variables. It evaluates the causal relationship between exchange rates, exports, and imports in Indonesia. The implication of the findings of this study is that high imports of goods and services will weaken the rupiah exchange rate against the US dollar. This can happen because Indonesia is an import-oriented country, and there is a relationship between export and import variables. Import of goods and services sector in Indonesia. In addition, the results of the study show that the causal relationship only occurs in the imported variable that affects the exchange rate, and the export variable that affects imports, while the causality relationship between other variables is not significant.
