PROBLEMS AND CONSTRAINTS TO AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT

• Agriculture infrastructure and facilities in state of disrepair

• Problem in input markets: inconsistent quality (seeds), distribution system (fertilizer)

• Lack of access to: information, technologies, and financial sources (due to low resources endowment)

• Marketing system: fluctuating and low prices for farm produce

• Fast aging farm population: rural youths not attracted to agriculture as a vocation

7

PANCA YASA (FIVE EFFORTS FOR DEVELOPMENT)

• Agriculture infrastructure : irrigation, farm roads, support services.

• Farmers’ organization empowerment: self help approach and strengthening bargaining power.

• Agricultural extension: increase access to information, knowledge and technologies.

• Agriculture finance: provide easy access to financial system, micro credits.

• Agriculture marketing: increase efficiency and value added.

Objective and StrategiesObjective and Strategies

Objectives :• To explore, identify, characterize, conserve and increase the

usefulness of sustainable agricultural genetic resources potentials

• To identify, characterize and produce technologies for optimal utilization of soils, water and agro climate resources

• To produce and disseminate agricultural technologies and innovations to improve agribusiness efficiencies

• To produce policy recommendations on social, economic and institutional matters

• To produce a model for agribusiness development and management

• To increase capacity, professionalism and moral integrity of human resources for agricultural R&D

14

Objectives and StrategiesObjectives and Strategies

Strategies :

• Improving natural resources utilization and focusing on prioritized research activities

• Sharpening prioritization and harmonizing of R&D programs

• Improving needs, relevance, quality and scientific and economic added value of R&D

• Improving research collaboration and commercialization with other R&D institutions (national and international), universities, NGOs, private sector

• Improving acceleration of dissemination and modality/ mechanisms for feedback on agricultural innovations

15

IAARD Main R&D Programmes

1. Agricultural Resources Management (land, water, climate, genetic resources)

2. Commodity (food crops, horticultural crops, estate crops, livestock : 17 main commodities)

3. Socioeconomic and Agricultural Added Value, including marketing and international trade.

4. Assessment and Acceleration of Agriculture Innovation (Technology and Institution) Dissemination

5. Research Institutional Development and Communication of Research Results

IAARD Main R&D Programmes 2005-2009

16

Reorientation for Agriculture R&DReorientation for Agriculture R&D

R&D IS DIRECTED / FOCUSED TOWARD :1. Support agricultural development by producing applied

technologies relevant to the development program set by DGs/MoA

2. Focus on a limited number of prioritized commodities and cross cutting issues

3. Strengthen linkages between NRCs/RIs, AIATs, extension services, private sector and farmers

4. Develop national and international R&D networking 5. Research must be quantifiable/measurable in term of outputs,

time and budget efficiency: Clear expected result and time frame Shorten R&D turn around time: from basic, applied,

prototype, and commercialization of research result

17

1. High yield variety breeding and seed production on prioritized commodities

2. Production systems and techno-economy on food crops, horticultural crops, estate crops, and livestock

3. Bio-fuel technology development (on farm and primary products)

4. Detection and management of zoonostic diseases (avian flu, anthrax, japanese encephalities, etc)

5. Management of genetic resources and materials: sustainability and utilization of the resources

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

18

6. Social economy and agriculture policy analysis : food security, employment, rural development, pricing policy, marketing and distribution, protection/subsidy, international trade

7. Land, water resources, climate and agricultural environment : resources management, optimal use and efficiency

8. Agriculture machinery: efficiency and value added

9. Post-harvest research: food diversification and value added

10. Biotechnology and genetic resources: application of modern biotech on agriculture

IAARD-ACIAR COLLABORATION: Suggested Future Direction

The ACIAR-Indonesia Collaboration had achieved some positive results, even though there are several problems in the management of our collaboration

Suggestions:

• Collaboration can be further strengthened and institutionalized

• Project proposals should be complementary to Indonesian agricultural research agenda

• Technology dissemination and transfer activities should be given greater emphasis

27

• Continue focus on eastern Indonesia, but at the same time keep more attention to Java and Sumatera

High proportion of povertyHigh contribution of agriculture product

• More focus on commodities related to food security, job creation, and strong market demands (domestic and exports)

Issues related to major constraint in achieving efficiency and competitiveness
