Abstract

Palm oil is one of the most demanded commodities globally, which has led to a significant increase in its production and raised issues regarding its environmental impact. However, many of these issues are not based on substantial evidence. To provide a proportional picture on the oil palm industry, Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU), the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and the Association of Indonesian Palm Oil Entrepreneurs (GAPKI) have collaborated to carry out this program. The program was conducted for seven days through classroom lectures and field trip activities, involving 14 students and two supervisors from UTAS and four USU students. Pre and post-tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of the program.  The results showed changes in participants' knowledge and perception regarding the environmental, social, and economic effects of the oil palm industry. Therefore, this program could be considered an effective counter to misleading Indonesian palm oil industry issues.

Abstract

Crude Palm Oil (CPO) is the biggest consumed vegetable oil in the world. The increase in CPO production raises concern on the environmental impact even outside the producing countries. As a response to this matter, the EU has made a requirement to only import certified CPO (CSPO). India and China, the two biggest importers in the world, are less restrictive to the environmental issues, and their demands are more influenced by CPO price levels. These countries are the main export markets for Indonesia and Malaysia, the two biggest CPO exporters in the world. This research using monthly price data from the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, EU28, India, China, Indonesia and Malaysia. Market integrations are tested with Cointegration Test, Vector Error Correction Model and Seemingly Unrelated Regression. The results show that these markets are integrated, but European countries are unlikely to lead the price movement. Therefore, the concern on sustainable certification from the European countries still slowly spreads to other main importers, resulting in low absorption of CSPO. Keywords: market integration; sustainable palm oil; seemingly unrelated regression; vector Error correction model

Abstract

With high consumption and low production rates, Pakistan appears as one of the main palm oil importers in the world. Among all vegetable oils, palm oil price appears to be the lowest, thus dominating the vegetable oil import market. Indonesia and Malaysia are the two main exporters, in which Pakistan alternately imports palm oil. Within such conditions, this study aims to analyze the sustainability of Indonesia Pakistan supply chain by estimating (i) the influencing factors of Pakistan palm oil import volume from Indonesia, (ii) the price co-integration in the Indonesian-Pakistan palm oil supply chain, and (iii) the adjustments of the short run dynamics towards the long run equilibrium. Using monthly data from 2010 to 2016, the sustainability was analyzed with Auto Regressive Distributed Lag model and Vector Error Correction Model. The results show Pakistan palm oil import volume is significantly influenced by the price of Pakistan’s palm oil import, trade balance and soybean oil price. The lower the palm oil import price, the higher the volume palm oil imported to Pakistan. The import price is co-integrated with all prices along the Indonesia Pakistan supply chain but no error correction towards long run equilibrium, which is partly reflecting impact of Pakistan Government interventions in palm oil trade. Based on these results, it can be concluded that price is the most influencing factor of the Pakistan palm oil import, thus Indonesia Pakistan supply chain could be sustained if the Indonesian palm oil selling price remains competitive. Therefore, Indonesian producers need to increase their productivity and reduce their production costs in all stages of the supply chain, including those among the oil palm smallholders.Keywords: palm oil, supply chain, autoregressive distributed lag, error correction

Abstract

Citronella oil production has been developed by the Regional Government of the South Tapanuli District through the Forest Management Unit (KPH), the Agriculture Office and the Industry Office. For KPH, this program serves to gradually replace oil palm smallholdings in forest areas. For the Agriculture and Industry Offices, this program is intended to increase farmer income, especially during the Covid19 Pandemic. However, businesses have faltered as citronella oil prices dropped dramatically. Many farmers cannot survive and temporarily close their business. This is mainly caused by the limited market access of farmers due to an inadequate business scale and production quality. To overcome such a condition, farmers need to have a strong smallholder institution with a sufficient economic scale, as well as good coordination among stakeholders. This activity was carried out for 3 months through online and offline meetings. Farmers were introduced to both export and local market accesses. However, to utilize these opportunities farmers need to have a strong and adequate farmer institution. Through the Forum Group Discussion, progressive farmers and processors were gathered with farmers from 3 other sub districts, as well as other stakeholders related to the improvement of market access. The results showed that farmers and other stakeholders agreed to jointly support the development of the citronella oil industry in South Tapanuli. The FGD ended with the commitment of farmers and all stakeholders to form a South Tapanuli Citronella Oil multi-stakeholders Forum to improve the ability to deal with market fluctuations in the future.

Abstract

Luas perkebunan kopi di Kabupaten Simalungun yang masih minim dari luas optimalnya menjadi kendala petani untuk menghasilkan produksi kopi yang saat ini rendah dibandingkan dengan produksi optimum kopi arabika Simalungun. Salah satu alternatif untuk meningkatkan produksi kopi yaitu melakukan integrasi tanaman kopi dengan lebah. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis perbedaan produksi dan pendapatan sebelum dan sesudah integrasi, serta komponen integrasi dan dampaknya terhadap pendapatan usahatani kopi dan budidaya lebah. Metode analisis yaitu analisis deskriptif dan uji paired sample t test menggunakan SPSS. Penelitian dilakukan Desember 2020 - Desember 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan produksi dan pendapatan kopi berbeda signifikan sebelum dengan sesudah integrasi. Komponen integrasi budidaya lebah yaitu sengat lebah sebagai predator pengendalian hama kopi, bulu kaki lebah sebagai polinator penyerbukan bunga kopi. Komponen integrasi lebah mampu meningkatkan produksi kopi dari berkurangnya hama, sementara biaya berkurang dari menurunnya input pestisida dan tenaga kerja sehingga berdampak terhadap meningkatnya pendapatan kopi. Komponen integrasi usahatani kopi yaitu nektar bunga kopi dan bunga tanaman pelindung sebagai pakan lebah telah menghasilkan madu multiflora, madu kaliandra dan madu kopi. Budidaya lebah di kebun kopi dapat mengurangi biaya input pakan luar dan biaya sewa lahan budidaya lebah. Berkurangnya biaya serta adanya sumbangan penerimaan madu berdampak terhadap meningkatnya total pendapatan petani integrasi. Penghambat integrasi yaitu keterbatasan modal membeli kotak lebah, kurangnya respon petani, ketersediaan pakan lebah tidak kontinu, gangguan hama serta pencurian kotak lebah, sedangkan pendukung integrasi yaitu pasar kopi dan madu luas, adanya bantuan kotak lebah dan harga madu mahal.

Abstract

Climate change is one of serious threats to the agricultural sector. In North Sumatra Province, climate change is characterized by shorter rainy season with higher rainfall. To overcome such climate change, it is necessary to provide irrigation that can accommodate excessive rain water and distribute it in times of shortage. Therefore, changes in rainfall will not be too influential on productivity. This is especially important for plants that need a lot of water like rice. To analyze the influence of irrigation in North Sumatra Province, the data were collected from 27 regencies/cities in 2011 – 2015 and were analyzed using a Simple Linear Regression analysis model. The estimation results show that irrigation can push the productivity variances. The irrigation regression coefficient of -0.133432 shows that each increase of irrigation area by 1% will decrease the productivity variation by 0.13 tons/ha

Abstract

The significant increase in oil palm areas has resulted in more concerns to the environmental issues - as majority of farming activities were not conducted in sustainable ways. To address the environmental issues, the Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) organization has formulated principles and criterias (PnC) for sustainable practices of the oil palm plantation as a guideline, whereby it has to be adhered by all parties involved, including the smallholders. The study is therefore conducted to analyze the sustainable management implementation among smallholders in North Sumatra. In total, 320 and 137 schemed and independent smallholders from four oil palm plantations centers in North Sumatra were interviewed in 2012 and 2018 to see their progress. The levels of implementation for each group were determined based on their scores for each of the criteria, and were compared with the independent sample t-test. The influencing factors for implementation levels were estimated by using multinomial logit model. The results showed that the level of implementation for both schemed and independent smallholders were still low in both 2012 and 2018. Education, experience and participation were identified as factors that significantly influenced their sustainable management implementation levels. Therefore, it is suggested that trainings should be emphasized to improve the sustainable management implemenatation among oil palm smallholders.

Abstract

This research study has reported different profit margin of smallholders in Labuhan Batu and Asahan which can be due to production’s cost incurred by smallholders. In addition, the price of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm offered by eachtrader is also found different. This could be the differences in efficiency and the length of marketing channels traversed by partner and non-partner samllholders. The length of marketing chain was transferred to the marketing costs incurred and the margins received, so there is share for each marketing. Therefore such study is needed to estimate the marketing margins and channels of non-partner smallholders, partner smallholders, and explasma smallholders, the marketing functions carried out by each palm oil marketing channel in Kuala Hulu, factors that help samllholders choose marketing channels, increase marketing and the efficientcy of non-partner samllholders, partner smallholders, and explasma smallholders. The data used in this study are primary as well as secondary data. The analytical method used in the Shepperd’s Method, Acharya and Anggarwal’s Method, Composite Index Method, Marketing efficiency index method and Soekartawi Method. The analysis shows that there are 2 marketing channels, identified as Channel 1 : Smallholders-Middleman_RAM-Palm Oil Mill and Channel 2 : Smallholders-Middleman-Palm Oil Mill. The study has concluded that all smallholders do selling, transporting, standardization, risk bearing, and securing market information. Regular customer, services, contracts are figured out as the major reasons marketing agents choose marketing channels. The most efficient marketing channel is partner independent samllholders with the shortest channel.
