FitmawatieEtAl(2010)DiversityIndoMangoCultivarsMorphologicalRapdMarkers.pdf

This paper outlines the classification of 82 Indonesian mango cultivars based on morphological characters, RAPD markers (DNA) and a combination of both. Mango cultivars for classification were sourced from Cukur Gondang Collection Garden, East Java. Results, including coefficients of similarity, are presented and discussed for each method of classification: morphological, RAPD markers or the combination of both. The morphological assessment involved 92 morphological characteristics. Results of a cluster analysis provides some detail on the discerning characteristics for each cluster. The results also include a comparison of the clusters and grouping identified through each classification method. The author concludes that the molecular method of RAPD markers and morphological characteristics do not quantify or organise cultivars based on genetic diversity, equally, as the grouping based on RAPD markers produced clusters different to those identified by morphology. The report also concluded that there is wide diversity in Indonesian mango cultivars: 15-62% (morphology), 2-31% (RAPD), and 12-40% (combination of both markers).

Developing an effective food chain management in a developing country: a case study on Manalagi mango fruit supply chain in Indonesia

HerlambangEtAl(2006)DevelopingEffectiveFoodChainManagementCaseStudyManalagiMango.pdf

In this paper, the authors explore the effectiveness of the Manalagi mango supply chain in Indonesia using gap, price margin and relationship analyses. Price margin analysis revealed significant transportation costs and fruit sometimes reaching the wholesale market in inferior condition due to delays since harvesting because of transportation problems. The authors thus highlight that improvements in transportation infrastructure are important to reduce produce losses and increase value in the chains. Gap analysis showed several quality dimensions which could be explored to add more value in the supply chain in the form of quality, timeliness, food safety and labour standards in production and marketing. At the same time, relationship analysis highlighted the need for more effective communication between and within all chain participants. The authors note that barriers to achieving greater coordination include lack of mutual trust by chain participants and lack of an acceptable governance system with fair sharing of risk and rewards in the value chain. Achieving effective alignment among all participants in the value chain is an important factor in developing an effective supply chain.

Mangoes in Indonesia: a value chain approach

Despite growing recognition of the importance of collaborative relationships in facilitating exchange in the fresh produce industry, few studies have empirically sought to explore the nature of trading relationships between market intermediaries. This paper contributes to this literature by exploring the prevailing trading practices and activities and the key dimensions of long-term buyer-seller relationships, namely trust, power-dependence and satisfaction. The authors use data from interviews conducted with 53 collectors, 12 traders and 10 wholesalers in Probolinggo, Malang and Jakarta. From this, they determine that a trusting relationship enables market intermediaries to profit from the Manalagi mango supply chain in a way that would not be possible individually. They found that intermediaries gain a certain level of risk sharing and improved access to markets and information, and display some trust and satisfaction in their relationships. However, the authors emphasise the importance of improvements in operational effectiveness to reduce cost and increase value, including better post-harvest handling practices and improvements in infrastructure and logistics to reduce product losses.

Reducing Aflatoxin in peanuts using agronomic management and bio-control strategies in Indonesia and Australia: an adoption study

Rachaputi-Wright(2011)ReducingAflatoxinPeanutsAgronomicManagementBiocontrol.pdf

This case study provides an overview of an ACIAR-funded project to minimise aflatoxin contamination in Indonesian and Australian peanuts through research, development and extension of on-farm and postharvest management practices. It details the motivation behind the project, which ran for five years from 2001 to 2006, and the main outputs and impacts it has or is expected to make. One of the important impacts of the project, noted in the case study, is the quantification of actual—and potential for—aflatoxin contamination throughout the peanut food chain, which has established a clear link between agriculture and human health. This presents compelling justification for further action from national and provincial governments to develop and implement appropriate policy measures to reduce its impact throughout the Indonesian community. At the same time, dissemination of information on aflatoxin incidence and its management, generated by the project, has led to significant adoption by research and extension agencies, as well as to the creation of a large extension network program. The lessons learned from this project are useful for future research on peanuts in Indonesia.
