Mariyono(2007)ImpactIPMTrainingFarmersSubjectiveEstimatesEconomicThresholdsSoybeanPestsCentralJava_ANU.pdf

This paper assesses the impact of integrated pest management (IPM) training on the economics of pest management decision making and discusses the mechanisms of reduced insecticides associated with IPM training. Background information outlines IPM and pesticide use and the concept of an economic threshold for pest control. Data on soybeans during 1990-1998 was collected from provincial agricultural agencies and analysed using an econometric analysis. Results include a discussion of the extent to which the model explains the variability in pest attack and pesticide use and details relationships with other variables. The paper highlights that pesticide use decreased as IPM training increased and discusses this in terms of changes in farmer expectations for yield loss and increasing acceptable levels of pest attack up to a point i.e. the economic threshold. The authors outline policy implications and some considerations for continued dissemination of IPM training given its success in influencing farmer's strategic thinking and develop economical plant protection.

Mariyono(2008)ImpactIPMTechnologyInsecticideUseSoybeanFarmingJava_ANU.pdf

This study examined soybean insecticide demand in Java and assessed the impact of integrated pest management (IPM) on insecticide use using aggregate regional data. The report includes an overview of the IPM program and technology transfer including a detailed outline of Farmer Field Schools. Data was collected from various sources and analysed using recursive and simultaneous equation models, the construction of which is detailed in the report. Results from each model are reported and compared, consistently attributing significant reductions in soybean insecticide use in Jogjakarta and Central Java to IPM technology. Results are discussed in terms of how well the variables explain variation in insecticide use and outline the relationship between insecticide use and other variables such as relative pesticide price, pest infestation and IPM technology. The greater accuracy of the simultaneous model was highlighted due to its ability to capture the reversible relationship between pest infestation and insecticide use. In concluding, the authors attribute the reduction in soybean insecticide use to the elimination of the insecticide subsidy which resulted in increased insecticide prices and dissemination of IPM technology.

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.

The impact of trade liberalization on the soybean economic performance in Indonesia

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:08:52 +0000

FirdausEtAl(2012)ImpactTradeLiberalizationSoybeanEconomicPerformanceIndo.pdf

This study reports the impacts of trade liberalization on the economic performance of soybeans in Indonesia. Data for the econometric model reported in this paper was obtained from various sources. The econometric model, its representativeness and ability to describe the Indonesian soybean economy and its validation are briefly reported. The paper outlines the world soybean economy, identifying primary producers and exporters, importers and briefly outlining the Indonesian soybean economy. Detailed results of the following simulations are reported 1) full trade liberalization, with no trade restrictions by exporters or importers; 2) import country shock (Chinese imports increased by 30%; 3) export country shock (US production decreased by 25%); both importer and exporter shock. The results of these simulations are discussed in terms of the impact on world soybean price, world imports and exports and Indonesian domestic price and imports. The authors conclude with key recommendations for the Indonesian soybean economy: actively encouraging removal of subsidies to ensure efficient and fair trade as intended by trade liberalization; and increasing Indonesian domestic production through policy that facilitates adoption of improved production practices and technology and expansion of soybean production.

The decrease of production of Indonesian soybean and efforts to ensure the certainty of the vegetable protein supply: a literature review

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:08:52 +0000

SusilowatiEtAl(2013)DecreaseProductionIndoSoybeanEffortsEnsureCertainty_IPB.pdf

Demand for soybean in Indonesia currently exceeds supply. Based on a review of recent literature, Susilowati et al. analyse the decline in Indonesia's soybean and discuss efforts to ensure its future supply. Among the solutions proposed in this review are increasing production and substitution power (on imports) of domestic soybeans through rules and mechanisms of control over the existing trade system, and increasing the role of trade agencies and/or cooperatives such as KOPTI in the trade system. The authors highlight the important role of KOPTI in the soybean supply chain, but note the need for it to become more resilient to market conditions. Given the limited understanding of the institutional aspects and resilience of its businesses, further research is required to suggest practical solutions to strengthen KOPTI's role in the supply of soybean. While the scope of this literature review is limited, it presents a useful overview of key studies (mostly in Bahasa) on soybean in Indonesia, which is useful for practitioners engaged in value chain research on this important protein-rich commodity.

An assessment of the impact of higher yields for maize, soybean and cassava in Indonesia: a multi-market model approach. ESA Working Paper No. 07-25.

SayakaEtAl(2007)AssessmentImpactHigherYieldsMaizeSoybeanCassavaIndo_FAO.pdf

This working paper uses a multi-market model to assess ex ante the impact of yield increases for maize, soybean and cassava on cropping patterns, producer and consumer prices, household income and other variables related to maize policy. The findings reveal that raising maize yields alone reduces imports and has generally small but positive effects on output, consumption, income and purchasing power. Raising the yields of all three commodities stimulates production of these crops and reduces imports in particular of maize and cassava but not of soybeans. Rice imports also fall strongly, while household welfare is positively affected but only by a small margin. The authors also assess the impact of removing rice tariffs in each scenario, but admit that this would be politically risky and thus unlikely. The main limitation of this study is that it is not able to capture the wider impacts of wage and labour changes as would be the case with a CGE model. Therefore, information on welfare changes based on household income and expenditure should only be treated as data specific to the model. Overall, this assessment is an important contribution to the literature as it helps to shape the policy debate on agricultural reform alternatives.

Impact of agricultural policy on soybean production in West Nusa Tenggara province

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:08:52 +0000

DipokusumoEtAl(2003)ImpactAgriculturalPolicySoybeanProductionNTB.pdf

In this report, Dipokusumo et al. examine the impacts of government policy on the profitability of wetland and dryland soybean in West Nusa Tenggara and the extent to which the province has a comparative advantage in soybean production. The research uses data collected through interviews with 90 soybean farmers, as well as policymakers, end users, extension agents and traders, in the districts of Central Lombok, Sumbawa and Bima. It uses the Policy Analysis Matrix as a data analysis tool. Findings show positive profits at both private and social prices, meaning that farmers have an incentive to grow soybeans under the current (no tariff) policy regime. Positive social profits indicate that soybeans also have a comparative advantage in West Nusa farming systems. Under these conditions there is no reason to distort prices in an effort to increase land devoted to soybeans. The authors suggest that government intervention should instead focus on improved extension services and better research programs that would lead to more productive soybean varieties. This type of research is important as it reinforces the need for Indonesia to promote agricultural production in order to avoid becoming dependent on foreign markets.

The competitiveness of soybean production in Blitar, East Java

sudo — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:08:52 +0000

AnandaEtAl(2003)CompetitivenessSoybeanProductionBlitarEast Java.pdf

Reduced productivity and increased demand for soybean products has increased dependency on soybean imports and support for tariffs. This study involved a desk top analysis and interviews with key stakeholders (soybean farmers, traders, and government officials) in Blitar, East Java, to develop farm level production budgets based on traditional and improved production technology (improved seed and water control, monoculture and multi-cropping). The Policy Analysis Matrix was used to analyse the competitiveness of different soybean cropping systems, the influence of public investment and the impact of price fluctuations resulting from government policy. Results indicate that all methods of soybean production are both privately and socially profitable. The authors thus conclude that protectionist policies are unnecessary and that Blitar soybean production is competitive with imported soybean. Investments in technology provided greater profits than traditional soybean production while improved technology, multi-cropping and non-irrigated land provided the highest private and social benefits. The authors recommend that any policy should promote and distribute welfare amongst all soybean chain stakeholders.

KirchhofEtAl(2000)GrowthYieldResponseGrainLegumesDifferentSoilManagementPracticesRainfedLowlandRice.pdf

This study examined the effects of fertiliser, mulch, cultivation and time of sowing on the growth and yield of peanut, mungbean and soybean following rainfed lowland rice. The study involved research stations or farm field experiments in East Java and Sulawesi. Trial design was a randomised incomplete block with four replicates and treatments applied as an incomplete factorial combination. The results indicated that mulch did not improve yield except in drier areas due to water conservation effects, and fertiliser application improved legume yield (the magnitude of which varied between site, crop and season) where water availability was not limiting indicating that residual fertiliser following rice is inadequate. It further demonstrated that tillage could partially alleviate the adverse soil physical condition induced during the rice phase and increased peanut yield possibly due to soil structure benefits on pod development. The authors concluded that correct timing of crop establishment was the most important factor for post-rice grain legume production then soil water availability. Sowing immediately after rice harvest in the rainy season will ensure high establishment rates and yield.

This report contains a detailed characterisation and analysis of individual legume (soybean, peanut and mungbean) value chains in West Nusa Tenggara, East Java and East Nusa Tenggara and makes recommendations on development opportunities, possible partners and future research. Based on the M4P framework, the study involved primary information collected through value chain and field visits, as well as secondary information. Market-based solutions (MBS) were identified to address constraints as well as providers to partner in implementing MBS e.g. tofu and tempeh processors, snack food, seed and input supply companies, retailers, wholesalers and traders. Key pro-poor value chain development opportunities include MBS's; collaboration with Government support agencies; and illustrative project facilitation activities to support MBS. The report lists research areas to be addressed prior to designing any development program including those common to soybeans, mungbeans and peanuts as well as specific to each legume. Poverty, gender roles and environment are also discussed. The authors outline several areas for potential development for each legume crop.
