Neish(2007)AssessmentSeaweedValueChainIndo_USAID_AMARTA.pdf

This report covers a preliminary phase of a larger study to develop seaweed farmer groups as preferred exporter and processor suppliers. Informal interviews were conducted with farmers, collectors and exporters in Gorontalo. This report briefly outlines seaweed production and the Gorontalo value chain. A brief outline of observations and conclusions identifies that: there are large areas suitable and underutilised for seaplant farming; that any development of the post-harvest sector needs to include improved production to ensure year round availability for processing; only basic agronomy practices are implemented; there is a reliance on one cultivar; there is a lack of financing options and accurate market information at the farmer and local collector level and a dependence on support from exporters and processors for development of seaplant farming. The author lists several interventions including: development of local nurseries and farmer financing programs; improvements in agronomic practices, cultivar selection and post-harvest treatment systems; farmer cooperatives to value add and operate with other value chain participants; linking farmer enterprises with progressive and supportive enterprises at subsequent value chain levels, domestically and globally.

Ardjosoediro(2007)ValueChainAssessmentAquacultureSectorIndo_USAID_AMATA.pdf

This report details a value chain analysis to identify opportunities to improve the competitiveness of the aquaculture sector. Methodology involved interviews with value chain members in Bali, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Aceh, Sumatra Utara, Sumatra Selatan, Java Barat and Jakarta as well as government officials and desk top research. The report details the marine, shrimp and freshwater aquaculture value chains in Indonesia incorporating market demand, value chain participants, input supply, production technology, trading, processing and consumers and the key constraints and potential solutions for each value chain. The authors identify three target subsectors for intervention based on comparative advantages and their potential to increase Indonesia's competitiveness. These are summarised as: development of grouper grow-out production system and markets; development of value adding processes, cold chain and supermarket linkages for freshwater aquaculture in Jakarta; and development of Indonesian shrimp branding globally based on best aquaculture practices to meet international consumer demands for food safety and traceability. Key steps required to implement the suggested interventions are also listed.

MulyawantiEtAl(2010)EffectsFreezingStoragePeriodsFrozenSlicedMangosIndo_CentreAgPostharvestR&D.pdf

Mango has potential as a significant horticultural industry in Indonesia but it has a limited shelf life. Freezing is an option for improving the shelf life of mango. This paper assesses different periods of immersion in liquid nitrogen and different storage periods on a range of chemical characteristics of mango. The experiment was based on a factorial completely randomised design with four immersion and four storage periods. The paper presents and discusses results in terms of the following characteristics: vitamin C content; total acid and pH; total soluble solids, brightness, sensoric quality (taste, colour, flavour and appearance) and microbial analysis. The discussion encompasses how the immersion and storage time treatments influence each of these characteristics. The authors concluded that immersion for 40 seconds in liquid nitrogen gave the best quality when stored for three months and detail the results for each of the assessed characteristics.

AnamEtAl(2012)IntroductionGoatMilkPasteurisationEquipmentEtawahCrossbredDairyGoatFarmersEastJava.pdf

In East Java, goat milk has not been fully utilized due to the lack of milk processing equipment at farm level. As a result, almost all milk produced has been for the consumption of the kids. In this paper, Anam et al. examine the effect of introducing milk pasteurization, simple cup-sealer equipment and training of Etawah crossbred goat farmers on the production of pasteurized goat milk in East Java. Farmers also received capacity building to produce dairy products from the goat milk. The research involved 25 farmers in Ngambe district, with a total of 70 heads of Etawah crossbred goats. The findings showed that all participants were able to use the milk pasteurization equipment and the cup sealer, but only 25 per cent of participants could make dairy products. After training, however, the goat farmers were capable of making dairy products from the goat milk, which enabled them to create new businesses.

MawardiEtAl(2010)IdentificationVarietySuitableCherriesProcessingMethodImprovingSpecialtyArabicaCoffeesFlores.pdf

Indonesia's specialty coffees have distinct and unique taste profiles based on their geographic origin. This paper assesses the impact of three processing methods (wet processed dry hulling (WPDH), wet processed wet hulling (WPWH) or pulped natural (PN)) on the cup profiles of three dominant Flores Arabica varieties ('Juria' (Typica type), S 795 and Hybrid of Timor (HdT)). Dominant varieties were identified through surveys of Arabica coffee farms in the Flores highland area of Ngada Bajawa. Cup profiles were assessed by 44 domestic and international taste panellists and evaluated fragrance and aroma, flavour, acidity, body, after taste, balance and overall preference. S 795 had the preferred cup profile with excellent balance of fragrance and aroma, flavour, acidity, and body with strong sweet tones. Processing method did not have a significant effect on the cup taste profile of S 795. Wet Processed Wet Hulling resulted in improved taste components for HdT. The local variety Juria had lower cup profiles than S 795 and HdT with the best cup profile achieved through Pulped Natural processing.

Marsh-Neilson(2007)SecuringProfitibilityTorajaCoffeeIndustry_ACIAR_SADI.pdf

Strong international demand for specialty coffee from the District of Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi, provides significant opportunities to improve rural incomes. This report provides an overview of the Sulawesi specialty coffee industry including key coffee producing districts, international markets for Sulawesi coffee, geographical identities and certified coffees. The authors detail factors of significance to any future development of the Sulawesi and particularly the Toraja coffee industries. These range from the comparatively very low yields of Toraja coffee (150-200kgGBE/ha) through to certified coffee, processing and cup quality, geographical authenticity, post harvesting processing and value adding, coffee varieties, pest and disease assessments and management, farmer organisation, market risks and price and value chain analysis. This information was based on discussions with various organisations and individuals involved in the Sulawesi coffee industry. The study recommends five activities for development of the Sulawesi coffee industry. These include industry wide partnership, socioeconomic research on farmer decision making processes, an effective extension service promoting sustainable management, improved understanding of the physical quality of Sulawesi coffee, and establishment of regional branding and geographical identities.

Securing the profitability of the Flores coffee industry

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 08:48:24 +0000

Marsh-Neilson(2007)SecuringProfitibilityFloresCoffeeIndustry_ACIAR_SADI.pdf

This report examines the main strengths and constraints affecting the profitability of the coffee industry in Flores, focusing on the two main coffee producing districts of Manggarai and Ngada. The report highlights a number of strengths and opportunities which suggest that Flores could develop into a specialty Arabica coffee origin, whilst further building the reputation of its Robusta coffee. In addition to the ideal coffee-growing environment, the report suggests that the established coffee-growing tradition within communities provides a good basis on which to develop a high value industry. Furthermore, the current combination of poor primary processing and lack of market understanding provide potential to quickly add value to this coffee. However, the authors identifies a number of constraints to overcome in order to capitalize on these strengths and opportunities. These include geographical isolation, a highly risk averse farm system, the need for infrastructure improvements, and lack of knowledge about market opportunities and technical requirements for quality improvement and value adding. The report contends that creating a world class speciality coffee origin could result in increased farm incomes for the estimated 75,000 families currently involved in coffee production.

The influence of primary processing methods on the cup taste of Arabica coffee from the Indonesian island of Flores

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 08:48:24 +0000

MarshEtAl(2010)InfluencePrimaryProcessingMethodsCupTasteArabiceCoffeeFloresIndo_ICCRI.pdf

In this article, the authors explore how the coffee processing method can influence coffee cup taste by evaluating three commercial coffee processing methods—full-washed, wet-hulled and pulped-natural—in use in the Indonesian specialty coffee origin of “Bajawa” on the island of Flores. Specifically, the research attempts to determine whether pulped-natural processing creates inherently lower quality coffee, while at the same time considering the environmental, resource and financial constraints of the Flores farm system. Sixty-seven coffee tasters in Australia, Indonesia and the USA tested composite samples by using blind cupping, comparative preference testing methodology. The results show a clear preference for pulped-natural processing (often considered an inferior method in Indonesia), indicating that processing method does influence coffee cup taste. The demonstrated quality results, coupled with low water use, low waste output and minimal processing equipment requirement indicates that pulped-natural processing in the Flores coffee industry warrants further investigation. This research also highlights the importance of considering traditional practices and local conditions along with market requirements when making recommendations for coffee value adding and quality improvement.

Traceability in the cocoa supply chain: an Indonesian context

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 08:35:23 +0000

Syahruddin-Kalchschmidt(2012)TraceabilityCocoaSupplyChainIndoContext.pdf

Traceability has become a major issue in cocoa supply chains due to the hazardous contaminants that can infect raw materials or processed products. In Indonesia, traceability in cocoa supply chains is still limited and faces several difficulties in implementation, including lack of technology and a limited legal framework to enforce it. This paper presents an overview of traceability in Indonesia and proposes a conceptual framework on how Indonesia could conduct traceability in cocoa supply chains. The authors use an approach proposed by Schwägele (2005), which divides traceability into two parts: tracking and tracing. Tracking focuses on following the movement of goods downstream as far as the consumer. The authors propose that growers track the transmission of prices along the supply chain to measure the economic performance of the chain. Tracing involves the flow and openness of information, which (once determined) can be a useful tool to monitor sustainability performances. The authors conclude that implementing traceability in the cocoa supply chain is not likely to present a financial burden since it is estimated to cost only three per cent of the retail chocolate price.

Optimum level and welfare effects of export taxes for cocoa beans in Indonesia: a partial equilibrium approach

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 08:35:23 +0000

PermaniEtAl(2011)OptimumLevelWelfareEffectsExportTaxesCocoaBeansIndo.pdf

In 2010, the Indonesian government introduced a 15 per cent export tax on cocoa beans to promote investments in downstream value-added activities. This paper examines the impact of this tax on domestic welfare and whether the government has imposed optimal taxes on cocoa beans. The research uses a partial equilibrium approach to analyse effects of policy by upstream sectors on downstream cocoa manufacturing. It also presents econometric estimates of import demand and export supply elasticity. The findings demonstrate some positive effects of export taxes, including diversion of some cocoa crop to domestic use. However, this results in significant losses to cocoa bean producers and does little to encourage the development of a downstream processing industry, the stated objective of the policy. The findings also show evidence of interdependence between the policies of major cocoa exporting countries. The authors acknowledge that due to limited available data, better econometric techniques do not necessarily lead to improved robustness of estimates of elasticity. This could significantly affect estimates of optimal export taxes and, therefore, analysis of welfare effects.
