WorldBank(2007)TomatoValueChainWestJavaFarmsJakartaRetail-Annex5.pdf

This value chain analysis is an Annex of a larger report examining supermarket development in Indonesia. The analysis encompasses production in West Java through to retailers in Jakarta and reports on five main market chains: farmer-specialised wholesaler-supermarket; farmer-farmer group-specialised wholesaler-supermarket; farmer-traditional wholesaler-traditional wholesale market-traditional retailer; farmer-traditional wholesaler-specialised wholesaler-supermarket; and farmer-collector-traditional wholesaler-traditional wholesale market-traditional retailer. The role and function of each value chain participant is outlined. The report also contains a comparison of the five value chains in terms of the value added with the supply chains to supermarkets adding the most value (35-57%). The value chain analysis report also includes a summary of the econometric analysis (undertaken in another section of the larger report) comparing the share of the consumer price captured by farmers. The farmer group captured the highest share of consumer price (30%).

Purwati-Yamada(2005)EvaluationDeterminateTomatoVarietyCultivationWestJava_JIRCAS-IVEGRI.pdf

This paper reports on three experiments evaluating Japanese tomato varieties for use in Indonesia. The experiments evaluate these varieties based on yield comparisons with the standard Indonesian variety, fruit characteristics for fresh and processing and seedling growth using three low cost, locally sourced seedling raising media. Results of each experiment are reported and discussed separately. The paper details the yield differences and summarises fruit characteristics including discussion of suitability for fresh or processing sectors. The experiments indicate the need for improved root knot nematode resistance in the Japanese varieties. The authors discuss options for improving productivity of Japanese varieties such as improved seedling preparation through good seedling media and the impacts of the different seedling media on seedling characteristics and yield. The paper does not make any recommendations or draw any conclusions from this work.

Basuki(2011)FarmersKnowledgeEffectivenessInsecticideUsesFarmersControllingSpodopteraExiguaShallots_IVEGRI.pdf

A significant constraint to shallot production is damage by the onion caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua) which can cause yield losses of 45-57%. This study assesses farmer knowledge and effectiveness of insecticides for S. exigua control in shallots in West Java and Central Java. Data was sourced via group discussions and individual interviews (n=100) and analysed using descriptive statistical method and content analysis. Respondent characteristics are briefly reported. The discussion encompasses farmer perceptions of shallot pests, knowledge of pesticide formulations, sources of pesticide information and details farmer pest control strategies. The report identifies that 60% of pesticides used are not government approved and that control strategies are based on short interval (1-2 days), high concentration (150-200% of recommendation) sprays mixes of 2-6 insecticides. The author discusses resistance implications and potential synergistic, antagonistic or neutral impact of spray mixes and the effectiveness of farmer control strategies as indicated by crop damage. Further research areas are summarised as: confirmation of S. mauritia pest status; development of an effective information dissemination system; control options that comprise effective control; ovicidal activity; and identification of synergistic insecticide mixtures.

Dawson(2011)OptimisingProductivityPotatoCroppingSystemCentralWestJava_ACIAR.pdf

This report details the outcomes of work undertaken in West Java, Central Java, West Nusa Tenggara and South Sulawesi to develop potato and cabbage integrated crop management systems, develop and improve farmer access to quality potato seed and build capacity for adaptive research and development. The report details the results from surveys of 80 potato and 50 cabbage crops covering crop agronomy, yield, economics, post-harvest management and potato seed supply, source and quality. It outlines the constraints to potato and cabbage production, with low soil pH being the major constraint. A modified farmer field school participatory technology transfer process facilitated farmer testing of a range of crop management techniques (potato late blight and clubroot management, liming), which is discussed in the report. Soil testing identified the Sembalun Valley as free of potato cyst nematode (PCN) for the potential development of a partial PCN free seed supply using seed imported from Australia. The impact of the project was assessed through farmer surveys, which identified a number of production, financial, environmental, social and gender impacts.

Farmer-trader relationships in the Indonesian chilli markets: the role of relationship quality in modern and traditional supply chains

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

Sahara(2011)FarmerTraderRelationshipsIndoChilliMarketsModernTraditionalSupplyChains_AdelaideUni.pdf

In Indonesia, chillies are a priority crop commonly produced by smallholders and, like many other cash crops, several farmer-trader issues are emerging in chilli supply chains. Current literature suggests that improving relationship quality among food chain actors enhances efficiency. This paper contributes to this literature by examining chilli farmer's perceptions of relationship quality with their buyers, using trust, satisfaction and commitment as variables. The authors use data from a survey of 602 chilli farmers selling to the traditional market channel or supermarket channel in West Java. Chilli farmers were categorized into four clusters, with differing perceptions on relationship quality, price satisfaction and chilli production characteristics. The differences across clusters suggest that targeted strategies are required to optimize farmer-trader relationships. The main limitation of the article is that the study was restricted to farmers perspectives only, thus the authors indicate that further research needs to be undertaken that measures buyers perspectives in order to develop a more in-depth understanding of farmer-buyer relationships in chilli supply chains.

Chilli (Capsicum spp.) Food Chain Analysis: Setting Research Priorities in Asia -Indonesia

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

MustafaEtAl(2006)IndonesiaChiliFoodChainAnalysisIndoSettingResearchPriorities_AVRDC.pdf

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the production practices, consumption habits, consumer preferences and distribution of chilli in Indonesia. Data was collected via secondary sources as well as interviews with key food chain stakeholders, including 306 chilli and non-chilli farmers from West Java, Central Java and East Java, as well as 16 market agents, 6 chili processors, and 289 chilli and non-chilli farmer housewives and 62 urban housewives. Key constraints identified by farmers were insect and pest losses (up to 63 per cent), difficulties in marketing and low yield potential. Analytical assessment of the different food chain levels highlighted several opportunities for improving chilli production and benefits for small farmers. Chilli production and income could be improved through the development of improved varieties for pest resistance, yield potential and incorporation of consumers' preferred traits (freshness, more seeds, attractive colour, pungency). Judicious use of inputs (fertilisers and pesticides) would contribute significantly to reduced production costs. Furthermore, price and negotiating power could be improved through collaborative marketing, farm level chilli processing and development of direct market links and information networks.

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.

FizzantyEtAl(2008)ComplexAdaptiveProcessesBuildingSupplyChainsCaseStudyFreshMango_UQ.pdf

This report briefly examines government intervention as an option for developing mango supply chains from disorganised and segmented to organised and integrated. The report includes a brief theoretical review of supply chain management and complex adaptive systems. Methodology included interviews with stakeholders over three time periods. The paper then reports on two case studies of government intervention in West Java and East Java including a description of the supply chains, the interventions and the responses to the intervention along the supply chain. In these cases, the government intervention focused on exclusion of the middlemen. The authors provide insights into the failure of these interventions. An alternative model to achieve self-organising supply chain formation is discussed based on theory and the learnings from the case studies. The authors highlight the need to recognise the self-organising characteristics of supply chains and consider these when designing interventions.

NatawidjajaEtAl(2009)MangoValueChainKeyInformantInterviewSynthesis_CAPAS.pdf

Rapid urban population growth has increased demand for quantity and quality of mangoes. This report outlines the changes in consumption that are driving changes in marketing and production. The project involved 113 interviews with various value chain stakeholders (input suppliers, farmers, brokers, processors and wholesale, traditional and modern markets) in East Java and West Java—provinces that produce 61 per cent of Indonesia's mango production. The report details changes in consumer demand and subsequent impacts on marketing including the importance of wholesale markets and the increasing trend for modern retail markets, processors and exporters to procure directly from farmer groups. The process of mango production expansion tends to be via tree management consolidation (tree rental) then land expansion with a restructure towards more commercial operations. Demand for quality is also driving high quality variety expansion. The report highlights the necessity for 'sprayer trader' operations, characterised by vertical integration of tree renting and marketing and implementation of intensive production technologies to be able to meet growing demand.

FeifiEtAl(2010)AddedValuePerformanceAnalysesEdamameSoybeanSupplyChain_IPB.pdf

This study encompasses profiling of the Edamame supply chain management, analysis of value adding and performance at each part of the supply chain and concludes with recommendations to improve performance of the supply chain. The report includes a generalist literature review focusing on management, performance and added value analyses of perishable product supply chains and specifically outlining Edamame characteristics and production data. Primary data was sourced through in- depth interviews with supply chain participants and secondary data from a desktop analysis. The paper outlines the Edamame supply chain roles and responsibilities, mechanism of interactions and risk profiles. Case study analysis of a West Java Edamame supply chain was discussed in terms of added value to farmers, processors and retailers. The supply chain processor, received the highest added value (24% for packaged, 28% for unsorted Edamame), approximately 50% of farmer groups had negative added values and retailers received 10-20% added value. Performance analysis of suppliers compared farmer financial (revenue and production costs) and operational (quantity, quality and on-time delivery) performance. There was also discussion of the managerial implications to improve supply chain responsiveness and efficiency.
