The Probability of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Introduction and Transmission in Western Java Poultry Chains: Linking Value Chains and Expert Estimates

2024-04-03T14:48:28+07:00

In Indonesia, several poultry value chains exist in conjunction. The introduction and transmission routes of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) may differ between these different poultry chains. Consequently, critical areas for control may differ between the poultry value chains and the actors within these chains. However, there is no estimation of the relative importance of the different actors in the Indonesian poultry value chains regarding the probability of HPAI introduction and transmission. To fill this gap, qualitative risk assessments of HPAI introduction and transmission were employed and linked with a previously established value chain map of poultry production in Western Java. Introduction and transmission probability estimates were determined through expert knowledge elicitation. Expert elicitation is acquiring expert opinions on unclear subjects due to insufficient evidence, physical constraints, or resource limitations. Results indicated variable HPAI introduction and transmission risks in the different value chains in West Java, ranging from low to very high. Critical actors were all farming sectors, private collecting farms, traditional outlets, and semi-automated slaughterhouses. Linking the value chain with an expertise-based estimation for introduction and transmission is an efficient and systematic way to identify opportunities for control measures for developing countries.

Impact of Climate Change on The Export of Palm Oil, Coffee Beans, and Cocoa Beans

2024-04-03T14:58:50+07:00

Climate change is believed to impact the economy of a country. The production of food crop commodities is one of the activities that is negatively impacted by the climate change and the volume of exports. Palm oil, coffee beans, and cocoa beans are the agricultural sector's leading commodities with high competitiveness in international markets and contribute significantly to exporting countries' economies. This research aims to determine the impact of climate change (changes in the annual average temperature and total annual precipitation) on the exports of the three commodities. This study uses secondary data from various sources. The data were analyzed using panel data regression analysis. The result shows that temperature and precipitation variables have different effects on the three commodities. Temperature and precipitation variables have a significant adverse impact on coffee bean exports. In contrast, temperature and precipitation variables positively affect palm oil exports. Meanwhile, for cocoa beans, only the precipitation variable positively affects export. Adaptation action by introducing climate varietas is important to maintain future exports of those commodities.

The Impact of Credit Constraint on Productivity and Technical Efficiency of Sugarcane in Indonesia

2024-04-03T14:49:44+07:00

Credit constraints on banks in the sugarcane plantation sector hinder efforts to achieve sugar self-sufficiency. Farmers' access to banking is often deemed difficult due to the dominance of small-scale farmers who lack collateral. In reality, farmers who successfully access banking sources also face constraints as the amount of credit received does not match the amount requested due to information imperfections between banks and farmers. Therefore, this research aims to identify the characteristics of farmers facing credit constraints, analyze the impact of credit constraints on productivity and technical efficiency, and identify the factors influencing technical inefficiency. The sample size consists of 4885 farmers who were then analyzed using ordinal probit regression, stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), total factor productivity (TFP), partial productivity, and propensity score matching (PSM) methods. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that land area and participation in agricultural organizations such as cooperatives and partnerships strengthen the degree of credit constraint. Meanwhile, land ownership and irrigated decrease the degree of credit constraint. The negative impact of credit constraints on productivity and technical efficiency is evident. Factors influencing technical efficiency include land status, land type, seed varieties, and participation in cooperatives and partnerships. This research has implications for bank policies that should not hinder farmers' access to banking services. This can be achieved by designing specific agricultural loans that view agriculture not as a risk but as a long-term investment.

The Role of Digital Transformation in Moderating The Influence of Green Innovation Capability on Supply Chain Resilience and Competitive Advantage

2024-04-03T14:50:53+07:00

Digital transformation and breakthrough innovations that contain concern for the environment can answer the target of reducing logistics costs and regulatory provisions which ultimately become a source of excellence for companies and maintain company’s supply chain resilience. The aim is to explore digital transformation role and the ability to innovate in generating supply chain resilience and competitive advantage for companies. This research was conducted on 168 stevedoring service companies in 5 major Indonesian ports that are members of the Association of stevedoring companies in Indonesia. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires via Google Forms, and subsequently analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study found that companies with strong green innovation capabilities had higher supply chain resilience and competitive advantage. Digital transformation for companies weakens the ability to innovate green in gaining supply chain resilience as long as the breakthrough innovation made is not related to technology adaptation. Different results show that digital transformation strengthens the ability to innovate green and generate competitive advantages for companies. The findings of this study provide further evidence to support the theory of competitive advantage based on the resource-based view (RBV).

Understanding Heterogeneity in Contract Farming Among Indonesian Sugarcane Farmers

2024-04-03T14:51:44+07:00

The transformation of the agricultural value chain on the production side is illustrated by the increased engagement of small-scale farmers facilitated by agribusiness firms through contract farming agreements. It is believed that the varied ramifications of contract farming are influenced not solely by contextual and implementation disparities but also by variations in the attributes of participating farmers. The dataset utilized in this investigation was sourced from the 2014 Indonesian Household Plantation Survey, comprising information from 8816 sugarcane farmers. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis were employed to categorize sugarcane farmers statistically and scrutinize the structure of sugarcane contract farming in Indonesia. Findings unveiled four distinct clusters of sugarcane farmers with discernible and significant dissimilarities in attributes. Contract farming is predominantly characterized by adult farmers with moderately sized self-owned land managed intensively and relatively favorable institutional access. Conversely, non-contract farming consists of adult farmers with small self-owned land working non-intensively and having limited institutional access.

Indonesian Soybean Import in International Trade

2024-04-03T14:51:59+07:00

Indonesia's reliance on soybean imports due to inadequate domestic production, understanding the multifaceted influence of macroeconomic conditions on soybean imports, and analyzing the factors driving import decisions alongside the effectiveness of existing import policies in ensuring supply security and promoting domestic production. Data collection consists of secondary data obtained from several sources such as the Ministry of Trade (KEMENDAG), the World Bank and UN Comtrade. The data analysis method used are descriptive and panel data regression analysis with the Gravity model. The result of the level soybean import that the United States occupies the first position as the largest soybean exporting country to Indonesia. The share of US soybean exports is very large in Indonesia, reaching 72% of all soybean imports in Indonesia.The results of the panel data regression analysis show that the variable of import tariff, import price and import restriction dummy significantly affect with importing value of Indonesian soybean in the world trade. In addition, exchange rate and economic distance don’t significantly affect with importing value soybean. Implementing Indonesia's soybean policy is expected to help achieve soybean self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on soybean imports from soybean producing countries in the world. The Indonesian government has issued policies namely expanding land, providing superior seeds and technology. The domestic government needs to implement a protection policy by implementing an entry tariff policy.

The Why and Who Facets of Strategic Horticulture Enterprise Systems

2024-04-03T14:59:58+07:00

Actual Indonesia's inflation rate is higher than the government's inflation target. One of the reasons is that the dataset for calculating food group inflation is asymmetric due to incomplete supply and demand data. This study tries to overcome asymmetric data constraints by providing an enterprise system for strategic horticultural commodities (SHES). The research method used the first three Zachman Framework perspectives: the executive perspective contextual view, the business management perspective conceptual view, and the architect's perspective physical view, each evaluated using the Why and Who facets. Respectively, the result of the Why facet is about business drivers and motivation intention: vision, mission, and goals; strategic goals and the SHES model's entity goals/objectives; and system development rules, requirements, and functionality representation. The Who facets results are associated with responsibility assignments of farmers, merchants, sub-district data collectors, District Agriculture offices, developers, users, and managers (tested using high-fidelity prototypes/mockups). With SHES, data and information collection becomes systematic and holistic, immediately in the form of real-time data from farmers and traders. Access to SHES uses the farmer's/trader's mobile phone. Thus, data recapitulation, from village to sub-district, district, to provincial and national, will likely be based on reality/data facts in the field.

Import Demand of Palm Oil From Indonesia in The Indian Market

2024-04-03T14:52:56+07:00

Palm oil has occupied an important position in the world trade of edible oils. India is still very dependent on palm oil imports, including other vegetable oils, to meet the needs of cooking oil and palm-based food industries. This study uses an ARDL approach to examine several factors that affect the demand for palm oil imports (CPO and RPO) from Indonesia in the Indian market. In the long run, CPO imports in the Indian market are significantly affected by CPO prices, sunflower oil prices, soybean oil prices, import tariffs, real exchange rates, real income per capita, soybean oil production in India, and India's population. Indonesian RPO imports in the Indian market are also significantly influenced by import price, soybean oil price, import tariff, and total vegetable oil production in India. Indonesia should be able to capitalize on the Indian market as its demand for vegetable oil is increasing. The increasing size of the Indian market (although more protective) is a challenge for Indonesia to meet the demand for vegetable oil in the Indian market. Indonesia's industrial and trade policy should shift the structure of India's import demand from CPO to palm oil-based downstream semi-finished and final products.
