Jayasinghe(2005)PotatoSeedSystemIndoBaslineSurvey.pdf

This article identifies and analyses constraints in seed production in Indonesia and describes the major factors that account for the failure to produce quality seed potatoes. The study is based on interviews with staff from government and non-government agencies, farmer-seed producers, farmer cooperative members and end-user farmers. Facilities and techniques used in various stages of seed production and quality control were also evaluated. One of the major problems highlighted by the author is that seed growers claim to sell certified seeds, but they are not actually certified by the government. This has led to a lack of trust by farmers in seed growers and their reluctance to use seeds other than their own, which has in turn created a marketing problem for seed producers. Other constraints highlighted include lack of funding for institutions conducting research and development in potato seed production, limited cold storage facilities, re-introduction of field-grown or net house-grown materials as in vitro without proper procedures, low priority given to potato tissue culture activities, and existing laws that are not conducive to seed production. Overall, the study provides a thorough background to the key constraints in Indonesia's potato seed system.

Do chili traders make price volatility worse? A qualitative analysis of East Java trading practices

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:35:52 +0000

WebbEtAl(2012)ChilliTradersPriceVolatilityQualitativeAnalysisEJavaTradingPractices.pdf

In this paper, Webb et al. examine the trading practices of market intermediaries in the Indonesian chili market and how they affect the transmission of chili market information through their effect on prices. The research involves a series of structured interviews with chili traders and wholesalers to investigate five potential impediments to an efficient market: market structure impediments to competition; lack of scale economies; market intermediary value-added functions; post-harvest losses; and price risk premiums. This was followed by an analysis of vertical price transmission using monthly data for farm, wholesale and retail prices in the Kediri district of East Java. Results show a competitive market environment, only small post-harvest losses, and no stockholding at any level of the marketing chain. They also reveal that price margins in East Java are positively and statistically related to farm price levels. The authors propose two policy options to address the price volatility—imports of fresh chillies from other countries or government subsidized investment in cold storage facilities to reduce the amplitude of price fluctuations and give farmers more time to respond to tight market conditions.

Multi-layer distribution system of Indonesian fruit-vegetable sector: current challenges and future perspectives

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:35:52 +0000

SovianaPuspa(2012)MultiLayerDistributionSystemIndoFruitVegSector.pdf

The increasing role of modern retail markets and supermarkets provides an opportunity for the Indonesian fruit and vegetable sector if supply chain issues can be resolved. This study discusses the multi-layer distribution system as it applies to the Indonesian fruit and vegetable sector and proposes more effective and efficient options. The paper outlines the advantages and weaknesses of multi-layer distribution channels. Despite being advantageous in marketing small farmers' products and providing employment opportunities as intermediaries there are various disadvantages. The long distribution channel increases risk of quality reduction and costs to maintain quality, higher transaction costs, inadequate technical requirements and limited information flow and asymmetry. Alternative systems proposed by the author include contract farming and direct collaboration with modern-supply-chain players; repositioning of existing cooperative networks to be business focused and self-reliant; creating producer organisations to achieve associated benefits (stronger bargaining position, reduced transaction costs and lobbying capacity); integrating consumer-oriented policies in all supply channels so that Indonesia can produce consumer preferred products rather than turning to imports; and creating a favourable political situation through redesign of policies.

This study identifies potential business partners and investment opportunities for the IFC to consider in future development of the horticulture sector. The report details consumer, distribution and retails trends, horticultural production, exports and imports, processed horticultural products and investment trends and constraints. The report also profiles East Java, South Sulawesi, North Sumatra, Lampung and Bali encompassing regional investment, and constraints and opportunities for future development. Methodology involved a literature review, collation and analysis of secondary information from a range of horticulture networks, and 20 interviews with key supply chain stakeholders such as fresh produce suppliers, importers, retailers, processors, government and foreign embassies. Regional analysis and profiling involved 31 regional visits and interviews. The author identifies opportunities for development of Indonesian horticulture in four key areas: value added produce for high value markets; plantation farming; farmer trader retailer partnerships with associated investment in facilities and support in the areas of technical information, finance access and market intelligence; linking investors to take advantage of Indonesia's investment appeal. The report also outlines Government regulations impacting on export, import and investment.

Integration among regional vegetable markets in Indonesia

FirdausGunawan(2010)IntegrationAmongRegionalVegetableMarketsIndo_IPB.pdf

In this paper, the authors explore the level of market integration among regional vegetable markets in Indonesia and the movement of prices at the producer and wholesale market levels. Studying price integration among regions is important in order to increase the marketing efficiency of vegetables in the country. The main vegetables included in the study are shallots, large red chilli, potatoes, cabbage and tomatoes. The research uses secondary time-series data from 2001 to 2008 and analyses variables and integration using co-integration analyses. While results from the analyses vary as to whether producer prices do integrate with the reference market, they both indicate that the large red chilli commodity should receive more attention as market efficiency has not yet been reached. The authors suggest that government intervention, especially in the form of pricing policies, is needed both at the producer and consumer level to stabilize vegetable prices in Indonesia. However, the success of this intervention depends heavily on government's understanding of price transmission in the vegetable market. This research makes a solid contribution to this end.

Suryadarma(2011)CompetitionBetweenTraditionalFoodTradersSupermarketsIndo_ANU_0.pdf

This paper assesses whether supermarkets adversely affect traditional food retailers in traditional markets of Indonesia. The study methodology involved data collection from traders in treatment (supermarket within 5km) markets (n=249), traders in control markets (n=151) and in-depth interviews (n=37) with a range of additional stakeholders. The paper reports no significant effect of supermarkets on traditional markets in terms of profit and revenue, yet traditional traders experienced continued decline in their business. Discussion of the qualitative data provides explanatory information to support this result. This includes consumer preferences and perception of the alternative shopping experiences, preference for continuing existing long term business relationships, differing consumer segments, and the intense competitions between traditional food retailers and other traders and street vendors (66.2% of traders perceive other traders and street vendors as their main competitors). The paper outlines policy recommendations that would increase the competitiveness of the traditional markets including: improved traditional market infrastructure; improved market management practices; organisation/regulation of street vendors. The author does highlight the short term of the study and a longer term study may reveal additional findings.

WorldBank(2007)HorticulturalProducersSupermarketDevelopmentIndonesia.pdf

This study examines the impact of increasing supermarket presence and their procurement system on horticulture supply chains (using tomato in West Java as a case study) and on farmers. Methodology involved key informant interviews, farmer field surveys (n=600), stakeholder focus groups and participatory rural appraisals (n=8). The report briefly outlines changes in food retailing in Indonesia and the development of the supermarket sector and highlights the dominance of imports in supermarket sales. Supermarket procurement systems and supply chain relationships with wholesalers and farmers are also discussed including deficiencies in traditional supply chains and preferences for alternative supply channels. The report examines the determinants and effects of farmer participation in different market channels, including a value chain analysis, and involving descriptive and econometric analyses which ranks the different market channels and details variations in farmer retail price share. The author concludes with discussion of the issues and challenges, relating to supermarket development. Policy interventions discussed in the report can be summarised as: agricultural support services; rural producer organisations; rural infrastructure; access to financial services; market intelligence; public product standards; and land rental markets.

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:32:02 +0000

Sulaeman(2012)AnalysisOrganicFoodRegulationImpactOrganicSupplyChains.pdf

This paper reviews the impact of Indonesian Government regulations on organic food supply chains and provides recommendations to assist in further development of these chains. It encompasses the marketing system for organic produce and consumer perceptions of organic food. The bulk of the discussion relates to the regulations associated with organic food and how these affect organic food supply chains. The paper outlines the regulations that organic food is subject to in relation to production, labelling, processing and food safety. A list of constraints to organic supply chains are identified by the author as high certification costs, limited locally produced organic food, inability for smallholders to sell organically produced food as organic, fraudulent organic certifications, unproven claims of organic status. Recommended actions to address these constraints are listed and focused on training in organic farming systems, grower group organisation, subsidies for certification and inspections to ensure compliance.

Eugenia(2010)SignificanceFamilyFarmingAsianRegions_WAMTI.pdf

This paper briefly outlines the issues and opportunities for family farming in Indonesia's agricultural sector. It provides a summary of two contrasting views on Indonesia's rural sector social characteristics and development of supply chains. There is no detail on the methodology used to inform the paper. The key issues facing family farming operations are summarised as: land access and fragmentation, constraining distribution channels, lack of consideration of the potential for women in family farming, and lack of promising career options for young in agriculture. The rights of women and the social power this provides, and increasing regional and global demand for agricultural products are highlighted as key opportunities for development of family farming for women and young people, respectively. The author lists challenges and recommendations to address these opportunities but does not provide any detailed strategies for implementation and delivery.

Indonesia's modern food retail sector: interaction with changing food consumption and trade patterns

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:32:02 +0000

DyckEtAl(2012)IndonesiasModernFoodRetailSector_USDA.pdf

This study details the changes in Indonesian food consumption patterns and growth in modern food retailing, including retail chains, packaged foods and imports. The study was informed by a desktop analysis of previous literature, previously collected market information and trade data and interviews conducted by the authors. It provides a brief background on Indonesia and its agricultural trade sector then details changing dietary patterns in Indonesia, both traditional and modern food retailing systems and the developmental opportunities and constraints for modern food retailing. Between 1999 and 2009 modern food retailer sales increased from US$1.5 billion to over US$5.6 billion and their share of total retail food sales rose from 5 to 11 percent. This trend is expected to continue and the report outlines factors that may drive consumers towards the efficiencies (refrigeration, air conditioning, quality assurance) of modern food retailers. The report highlights the Government regulations constraining modern retail food supply chains in procuring products both internationally and domestically and in obtaining sites for expansion. The importance of changes in Indonesia's retail food sector to future import growth is discussed, with particular reference to the United States.
