Popis: Technological advancements have triggered many lifestyle changes and indirectly created two important issues that must be addressed in Indonesia: the increase in non-communicable diseases and the rise of national health costs. One effort to curtail these problems involves consuming innovative food products with health benefits, commonly known as functional foods. The present study aims to identify and analyze the key success factors that companies in the functional food industry must consider to produce high-quality functional foods. To date, no previous study has paid close attention to this issue. Data collection was performed in a two-step process. First, interviews with academics, businesses, and the government were conducted. Second, surveys using a pairwise comparison questionnaire were completed. Data from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis, while survey data were assessed using the analytic hierarchy process. The results indicate the presence of five key success factors, including top management commitment (weight = 0.233), research resources and networks (0.077), food safety management systems (0.303), access to the required raw materials (0.218), and access to information on consumer needs (0.168). This research is believed to be the first to identify key company success factors in producing high-quality, innovative food products. This research fills the void of functional food literature related to producers.
