Modernizing Indonesia’s Agriculture
With both achievements and persistent challenges over the last few decades, ensuring food security remains a priority for policymakers and development efforts in Indonesia. Setting aside some backsliding resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia’s poverty reduction journey has come a long way since the Asian financial crisis to less than 10% by 2019. Likewise, meaningful progress has been seen in daily calorie consumption and a declining stunting rate. But despite these gains, many challenges are evident. On the production side, agriculture struggles to promote productivity, community livelihood, and sustainability—a challenge made more pronounced by increased extreme weather event...
Policy Barriers to a Healthier Diet
Improving nourishment and diets has become a priority for Indonesia. The stunting rate among under-five children in Indonesia at 24% is considered high and deserving of serious attention.Improving dietary diversity among children is essential to reduce the stunting rate and prevalence. Unfortunately, the Desirable Dietary Pattern (DDP) score and food supply indicate a typical Indonesian diet is severely dominated by rice and lacking in alternative sources of carbohydrates and protein. The high cost of healthy diets further complicates nutritional fulfillment as global food prices have experienced a recent sharp increase. Realizing the importance of nutrition fulfillment for human capital, th...
Memodernisasi Pertanian Indonesia
Diwarnai berbagai pencapaian dan tantangan dalam beberapa dasawarsa terakhir, ketahanan pangan masih menjadi prioritas para pembuat kebijakan dan upaya-upaya pembangunan di Indonesia. Terlepas dari penurunan capaian akibat pandemi COVID-19, kemiskinan di Indonesia telah berkurang secara sangat signifikan sejak krisis finansial Asia, mencapai kurang dari 10% pada 2019. Kemajuan juga dapat dilihat dalam hal peningkatan konsumsi kalori harian dan penurunan tingkat stunting. Namun, banyak tantangan masih menghadang. Di sisi produksi, sektor pertanian kesulitan untuk memperbaiki produktivitas, penghidupan masyarakat, dan keberlanjutan–sebuah tantangan yang kian diperparah oleh fenomena cuaca ek...
Technology and Knowledge Transfers to Dairy Farms
Indonesia's fresh milk production is only able to fulfil 22% of national milk demands. With growing milk consumption and the national target of fulfilling at least 60% of national demands from domestic production by 2025, boosting the productivity of dairy farms becomes important. This requires more adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies, techniques, and better farm management practices by dairy farms. However, as dairy farmers are predominantly smallholders, investing in technologies is a challenge due to cost, small production scale, and a lack of information and awareness. Partnering with the private sector offers a solution, as evidenced by case studies of technology and knowled...
Helping Farmers Escape the Poverty Trap Through Sustainable Livelihoods
The contribution of agriculture to the Indonesian economy is in decline, but the sector still provides employment to a relatively large number of Indonesians. Because of low productivity, poverty has become the main social issue for farmers. Farming is concentrated in rural areas, and so farmers also face challenges that do not affect those living in urban areas. This paper employs the "sustainable livelihoods approach," which considers welfare outcomes as the result of interactions between contextual factors, livelihood resources or assets, policies and institutions, and livelihood strategies. Employing this approach to a case study of two villages in Central Java, this paper assesses the extent to which existing policies and programs have addressed the challenges facing rural agricultural workers.
Nikel Indonesia: Kunci Perdagangan Internatioanal
Kita sedang berada pada era perang dagang (trade war), di mana komoditas-komoditas krusial dunia diperebutkan oleh negara berkembang dan negara maju. Tak kalah mengejutkan, perang dagang yang terjadi antara Indonesia vs Uni Eropa (UE) patut diapresiasi sebagai keberanian Indonesia membela kepentingan nasional di kancah perdagangan internasional. Pada 22 November 2019, UE mengajukan konsultasi (gugatan) ke Dispute Settlement Body WTO atas kebijakan Indonesia terkait pelarangan ekspor bahan mentah nikel (DS 592). Selanjutnya, Pada tahun yang sama, tepatnya 9 Desember 2019, Indonesia membalas dengan menggugat UE atas kebijakan terkait RED II dan Delegated Act, atau sederhananya, Indonesia menen...
