ABSTRACT: This study analyzes the effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovative Capabilities on the Export Performance of MSMEs in Malang Regency with Government Support as a moderating variable. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a non-experimental causal design. The research sample involved 230 processed food MSME actors who are members of the Malang Regency Small and Medium Industry Business Actor Communication Forum (FKPU IKM). Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results showed that Entrepreneurial Orientation had a significant positive effect on the Export Performance of MSMEs. Conversely, Innovative Capabilities had no significant effect. Furthermore, government support was not found to moderate the influence of entrepreneurial orientation or innovative capabilities on SME export performance. These findings indicate that entrepreneurial orientation is the main factor in driving SME export performance, while innovative capabilities and government support have not been able to exert a significant influence.
