I’ve been dealing with business for more than 3 years. Conducting a SWOT analysis for my business after years of operation is a great practice. It allows me to consider my business position, identify areas of improvement, and capitalize on opportunities for further growth.  SWOT analysis holds significance for several reasons in business. It’s a strategic planning tool used to evaluate a business venture, project, or in this case, any situation that requires strategic assessment.

I've been building my own business for 3 years. I still have to learn, analyze, manage, and develop my business. Starting a business is never been easy, but making a plan without implementing is useless. Starting a business can be a great way to earn an income and pursue your passions.

It is an exciting and rewarding experience. The key to success is planning and preparation. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Indonesia is an agricultural country. West Java is one of the centers of agriculture in Indonesia. The industrial sector plays a major role, while the agricultural sector is the second largest business opportunity.  Strawberry production in West Java is high, but the amount of strawberry production has been decreasing.  The table shows that the production of strawberries in West Java has decreased from 2017 to 2019. According to BPS, Horticultural Agriculture Statistics, the decline in strawberry production has decreased along with the decreasing of agricultural area.

Strawberry is a sub-tropical fruit. It turns out that strawberry is actually not a berry family, but the genus is from the rose family (Rosaceae). Strawberry was first cultivated in the United States around 1835 and has become a widely grown plant in home gardens and widespread in agriculture.

Meadow strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) in eastern North America was introduced to Europe during the 17th century. The beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is native to the mountainous regions of the Western Hemisphere, and a fourth cultivated strawberry species developed classified as Fragaria moschata is common in Central Europe.

Being a freelancer is quite challenging, yet interesting.

I'm really interested in business.  Business opportunity in Indonesia  is wide open. There are so many business sectors we can choose. But, before I go too far talking about this, I actually need to understand about it by reading some references and books about basic theory of business opportunities.
