Abstract

The negative Impact of climate change and food security are crucial issues for Indonesia with a large population. Agricultural sector as a contributor about 5-7 percent to CO2 emissions, is a victim of climate change as this sector is very sensitive to the change of climate such as rise of temperature, drought, El Nino and La Nina and rise sea level. The decline in production due to climate change and extreme climate is very risky for Indonesia's food security. Various studies and studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of climate change. However, since 2009, voluntary commitment of Indonesian Government to reduce 26 percent of CO2 emissions set up the strong effort in many sectors to adapt with climate change. In agriculture, improving soil quality is key in maintaining food production. Soil conservation using vegetative or engineering technique is one of the most important technology. Nutrient management by applying balance fertilization, the use of organic material and ameliorant such as biochar, zeolite and other natural mineral are beneficial for plant production. All these ameliorants will be very useful in maintain soil organic matter (SOM) and soil carbon which very important in increasing water holding capacity. Water harvesting is one option to capture high precipitation and important to irrigate agricultural area. Besides, the use of cropping calendars, high yielding varieties which adapt to biophysical stress will be very useful. Other effort is also needed to control the peat fire, peat drainage and deforestation.

Abstract

Agricultural mechanization is one of the important components for modern agriculture in achieving sustainable food self-sufficiency targets. In fact, advances in mechanization technology will make agriculture triumphant, so that Indonesia as the world's food barn can be realized.  This study aims to see how the development of innovation-based agricultural mechanization, as well as how the efficiency of agricultural products in the application of agricultural mechanization. The government through the Ministry of Agriculture has created many works to build mechanization 4.0, including (1) rice seed spreading drones, (2) rice planting robots, (3) autonomous tractors, and (4) integrated harvesting plus tillage machines. These four agricultural machines can be a solution for Indonesian farmers in running a modern farming business. The government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, has distributed agricultural machinery assistance in an effort to help farmers.  The use of rice transplanter (transplanting machinery) can save 30 percent of planting costs compared to conventional planting methods. Nationally, the cost of planting that can be saved reaches Rp 8.6 trillion every year. Weeding tools, the use of weeding machines is three times faster than conventional methods with a savings value of Rp 7 trillion in weeding costs. The use of tractors for soil cultivation can also reduce the use of conventional labor with faster operationalization.  The use of agricultural machinery, both pre- and post-harvest, is a driving force for accelerating the process of increasing production and farming efficiency so that farmers get greater benefits.

Abstract

Every country has efforts to fulfill food. In order to ensure a fair and equitable food supply at the community, household and individual levels in accordance with the purchasing power to meet food needs. Therefore, an alternative food buffer model is needed in each region, especially in big cities. This paper recommends a big city food buffer model with at least five areas that become the main functions of TTIC/DC. First, the field of supply management. Second, supply reserve management. Third, supply distribution management. Fourth, institutional management of food cooperation. Fifth, e-commerce-based information technology system. Food supply to big cities can be done by optimizing nearby areas to be more effective and efficient, and cutting long supply and distribution chains. This is important so that price fluctuations that often occur in big cities can be properly addressed.

Abstract

Ministry of Agriculture has established the Planting Area Expansion (called PAT) Program to increase rice production by expanding the harvest area. The study used a time-series analysis approach with the structured vector autoregressive (SVAR) method with monthly data for the period January 1993-March 2025. The results of the analysis show that rice production in 2025 is estimated to reach 58.43 million tons of milled dry grain, an increase of 5.29 million tons (9.95%) compared to production in 2024, as a contribution of the program to expand the planting area and land optimalization (known as OPLAH), irrigation development, pump and pipeline installation, new rice field cultivation of 1.62 million tons or 30.56 percent, worth IDR 12.58 trillion. Three main recommendations are as follows: (1) the performance of water pump and OPLAH assistance in 2024 should be ensured to proceed in 2025, and OPLAH as well as new rice field development in 2025 should be ensured to be fully realized, with some of the new rice fields already able to be planted with rice; (2) controlling the rate of rice field conversion to maintain the availability of rice cultivation land; and (3) optimizing farmer assistance by field agricultural extension workers.

Abstract

The decline in the productivity of the national sugarcane commodity has become an issue in the last ten years. When domestic demand for sugar is increasing, the decline in productivity indicates a crisis in sugarcane production. At the same time, the involved institutions and strategic programs to encourage sugarcane production have not been well identified. The research aims to determine the institutions that are expected to play a role and the strategic programs that are prioritized in increasing sugarcane production in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study uses Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) to formulate complexity, hierarchy (levels) and classification among elements. The results showed that of the 14 sub-elements of the acting institutions studied, five institutions were key actors for increasing production, namely banking institutions; universities; agricultural, plantation and fisheries offices; industry, trade, cooperatives, & Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs') offices; and private companies. Then, from the 13 sub-elements of the strategic programs, there are five strategic programs that also serve as the key programs, namely extension/assisting farmers; addition of plantation labor; providing access to capital; variations of profit-sharing and buying systems of sugarcane; and accuracy of time and adequacy of the supply of raw materials to the mills. This means that these institutions must play an important role, as well as strategic programs that must be carried out effectively to address the issue of sugarcane production in the country. Thus, researchers recommend involving all stakeholders in conducting strategic programs with the key actors as the leading driving institutions.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest palm oil producers in the world. The palm oil industry must look at the market competition map, starting from competing countries and other export opportunities to absorb palm oil products to increase state revenues. This paper analyzes the new challenges and opportunities for Crude Palm Oil (CPO) in Indonesia in international trade. Analytical tools were Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), Dynamic Product Export and X-model Potential Export. The results showed that Indonesian and Malaysian palm oil commodities obtained an RCA value of more than 1 and an RSCA value of close to 1. Indonesia is more competitive than Malaysia. The X-model showed that Indonesian CPO market share optimism is only in India and the rest is less potent. Malaysian CPO market share also has less potential. Therefore, Indonesia’s new challenges are export tariffs, obstructed access, insufficient downstream production and a black campaign. The opportunity for participation in the CPO export market is only in India compared to Malaysia, which has less potential. The two countries have less potential in destinations such as the Netherlands, USA, China and Kenya. Indonesia can take external policies by establishing cooperation with export destination countries, such as trade agreements, so that information about Indonesian palm oil is well received. Meanwhile, internal policies strengthen domestic downstream industry policies, such as the food, health, and renewable energy industries, to strengthen the domestic economy and improve the welfare of Indonesian palm oil farmers.
