Abstract
The ornamental plant agribusiness in Indonesia has excellent prospects. This is due to the increasing public interest, abundant biodiversity, and global market trends of ornamental plants. Behind its excellent prospects, there are great expectations for the development of ornamental plant businesses. This study aims to assess the prospects and expectations of ornamental plant business development with relevant literature evidence. This study followed the Scoping Review with Bibliometric Mapping (ScoRBiM) methodology. This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) statement. Bibliometric analysis was used to map the scientific literature in the scoping review study. Our study considered peer-reviewed articles published from 2014 to 2024. Data sources were obtained from the Lens database with a total of 827 articles obtained. The analysis concluded that the prospects for ornamental plant business development include increasing market demand, higher biodiversity, stronger government support, wider opportunities for collaboration and synergy, increased application of technology and innovation, more open market access, and diversification of products and services. Expectations of ornamental plant business development are viewed from four different perspectives, namely farmers, consumers, government, and society. Farmers expect the development of the ornamental plant business to improve the welfare of farmers. Consumers expect high quality products, affordable prices, a variety of ornamental plants, education about the benefits of ornamental plants, consulting services and ornamental plant care. The government expects to contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), create jobs, conserve biodiversity, develop the creative economy, and improve the quality of the environment. The community expects aesthetic beauty of the environment.
