Abstract

Sustainability certification are increasingly demanded in the global coffee trade, but its economic and poverty alleviation effects for smallholder farmers are still poorly understood. We study these effects using cross-sectional household data obtained from a survey of 320 farm households from four districts in the coffee-producing provinces of Lampung and Aceh in Indonesia. We combine a monetary expenditure approach with a non-monetary approach. Both approaches reveal information on the number of respondents that can be considered poor, as well as on the intensity of poverty experienced by them. In terms of non-monetary approach, we refer to multidimensional poverty index (MPI) that identifies deprivations in education, health and standards of living. In terms of monetary approach, we examine poverty gap index that measure coffee farmers’ expenditure lies below the poverty line. We compare between certified and conventional (non-certified) coffee farmers. The results show that economic benefits contributing to poverty alleviation can be gained from coffee certification. The differences in the value of poverty measurements between certified and conventional farmers are small but statistically significant. Certified farmers are found to be less frequently poor compared to conventional farmers. There is no significant difference on the intensity of poverty for both groups of smallholder farmers. Given these results, certification is not a highly recommended strategy for poverty alleviation among smallholder coffee farmers in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the optimal partnership structure for impacting the well-being of coffee farmers. It is crucial to elucidate the variances in each business model within the context of collaborations involving coffee farmers, traders, and exporters along the coffee supply chain, and their subsequent effect on the welfare of coffee farmers within each specific partnership configuration. We employed a questionnaire to assess the influence of partnership models on the well-being of farmers. The survey was carried out in Central Aceh, known for Arabica coffee production, and Lampung, recognized for Robusta coffee cultivation. we find that farmers participating in globally certified partnership constellations score better on economic performance than farmers in local partnership constellations (both certified and conventional).

Abstract

The corporate income tax rate is an important component of a country's tax revenue, especially in developing countries. Business entity taxes in ASEAN countries are different because they have different economic and political foundations. This study aims to determine the effect of the level of corruption, which is often an obstacle in business and the economy, and the number of MSMEs, which have a large proportion in the ASEAN economy. The sample used is of 10 ASEAN countries from 2011 to 2020. The method used is a panel model with random effects. The results show that corruption has a negative and significant effect on the level of corporate tax. The better the control of corruption in a country, the lower the level of corporate tax. Meanwhile, the number of MSMEs and GDP have no significant effect on the level of corporate tax. On the other hand, world oil prices have a positive and significant effect on corporate tax rates.
