Food SMEs have importance role not only for the market fulfilment, but also for job creation in inclusive productive activities. Food and Agriculture Organization promotes sustainable outcomes include economic, social, community and environmental – in agricultural and food markets value chain, especially food SMEs both global and domestic. The quadruple helix proposes combined efforts of four economic stakeholders, i.e., academia, firms, government, and community, construct complete puzzle  that allows community development of economic welfare within food system.

However, in developing countries, market failures can prevent food SMEs from fully participating in value chain. The missing puzzle of community development of food SMEs create further challenges to establish scale of economics and profitability. In this context, it is critical quadruple helix to examine how markets can be shaped to be pro-Food SMEs and to reduce negative social and environmental externalities.

To ensure the concrete puzzle of food SMEs value chain, quadruple helix theory is necessary but insufficient. Value chain analysis in quadruple helix focuses on finding the missing puzzle of community development practices in food SMEs’ profitability and scale of economies.

Action research investigate the non-economic of community development practices associated with the current operation and structure of food value chains. Identifying successful private and public strategies to shape food markets that foster non-economic benefits (social and environmental).

Further research should consider with further understand the linkages between market forces shaping food value chains (FVCs) and non-economic outcomes, by structural equation models.

This action research utilizes the quadruple helix with Policy Analysis Matrix subject to food SMEs recipients by community development program of Pertamina, state-owned company in energy sector.
