Abstract

To address the problems of the distribution of subsidized fertilizers, the Government of Lampung Province implements an innovative Billing System policy through which farmer groups redeem subsidized fertilizer online. However, the impact of the policy has not been reviewed scientifically. Therefore, this study aims to answer questions (1) what are the impacts of the Billing System Policy on the quantity use and prices of subsidized fertilizer in Lampung? and (2) what are the impacts of the Billing System Policy on rice production in Lampung? The study was conducted in June 2020 until February 2021. Total respondents were 314 rice farmers surveyed with systematic random sampling in the districts of East dan South Lampung and Metro. The impacts of Billing Systems were evaluated with the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) technique, which is a credible quantitative method for correcting selection bias and other variable biases. The results showed that, at the farmer group level, the Billing System significantly increases the average use of Urea and reduces the average prices of Urea and SP36. However, the Billing System has little impact on rice production, although the production has increased after the Billing System policy. The findings further imply that enhancing the institutional capacity of farmers is still necessary.

Abstract

The value chain of the agricultural sector of developing countries, including Indonesia, is part of a global value-chain, especially for the value chain of plantation products that are traded globally (for example, coffee, cocoa, tea, and palm oil). Many researchers use a global value-chain perspective with a focus on evaluating the relationship between multinational companies (which are considered the main actors) and other actors (including producers and consumers) in international trade. However, the argument that developing countries need to have more control over global value-chains deserves attention. Therefore, this study aims to identify potential strategies for upgrading the value chain as a whole and in a more systematic manner; thereby strengthening its position and influence in global value-chains. The research objective is achieved by reviewing the literature specifically on the value chain, but also by expanding the review to literature on politics, economics and management. In addition, this research is also strengthened by the results of empirical research as 'cases' or 'examples' related to the proposed strategies. The results of the study indicate that upgrading the value chain is achieved through a combination of strategies, for example increasing product value added and improving chain governance. In addition, this study concludes that, in the era of the liberalized market, the role of the government should be more visible. The liberalized market does not always achieve an optimal equilibrium, and therefore the government must be able to correct it with relevant regulations and/or policies.
