Fundamental issues in sustainable development of competitive potato production in Indonesia are production and distribution inefficiencies. This study aims to examine the potato production competitiveness through competitive and comparative analyses as well as evaluating the impacts of government policy on potato production. This study employs Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) to analyse the cross-section data collected from six regencies in Indonesia. Potato production in Indonesia was profitable privately and socially. The highest value of competitive advantage was indicated by PCR value in the dry season in Wonosobo Regency, Central Java Province. The lowest values were found in Bandung Regency. Highest comparative advantage was revealed in Tanah Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province, during the rainy season. Highest comparative advantage was found in Bandung Regency, West Java Province, in the dry season. However, the social profit was lower than the private profit indicating the potato farmers dealt with disincentives due to imperfect market. It implies that increasing domestic potato production will be more profitable rather than import. The policy makers need to evaluate the recent policies on input and output markets as well as the supply chain of potato to cope with imperfect markets in order to increase farmers’ income.
Increasing resilience to climate change is one of the priorities of the Government of Indonesia. Climate change has a significant impact on the agricultural sector and is projected to global gross domestic product. Java Island, as a center of food production, has a strategic location because of its strong impact on food availability in Indonesia. The study aimed to provide information about the status of the vulnerability of farming system for food at the district/city level in Java Island and the determinant factors that affect the level of vulnerability. The analysis was based on soil fertility, water availability and demand, climate, and socio-economy expressed in terms of exposure and sensitivity index and adaptation capacity index using the quadrant method. The results show that 20% of districts/cities in Java have very high levels of vulnerability. The main determinants identified in Java are the ratio of the number of extension agents and the number of farmer groups/rice field area and the rice consumption ratio to total carbohydrate food. The results of this study can be used as a reference in determining priority locations and formulating adaptation programs and actions to reduce the impact of climate change.
Agroforestry is a form of an agricultural system that is adaptive to climate change. Based on the institutional form, the farming system developed under the social forestry program is agroforestry. This form of agroforestry is the essential capital for farmers to establish in their cultivated lands further. This study aim to determine agroforestry farmers’ perceptions in the Upper Citarum Watershed on climate change and the adaptation activities. The sample farmers are a sub-set of farmer households sample in the socio-economic survey conducted by ICASEPS – ACIAR in the collaborative research in 2019. The reliability of the data on variables that reflect farmers’ perceptions of adverse shocks experienced, which directly or indirectly related to climate changes, is tested with Cronbach’s Alpha. Data analysis is performed by cross-tabulation, while multiple regressions are used to determine the effect of social forestry cultivated areas on farmers’ income. The results show that more than 55 percent of farmers participating in social forestry say that since the last ten years climate patterns are increasingly unpredictable. The most negative impacts of climate change impacts are indirect effects which are pests and diseases. Popular adaptation are reactive ones, namely increasing the use of pesticides and more intensive use of inorganic fertilizers. Farmers adaptation which are more synergistic with mitigation such as organic farming or cultivation of perennial crops are still relatively low. The increase in the arable land area due to social forestry has significantly increased farmer’s household income. Referring to this phenomenon, conducive policies to increase farmer participation in these adaptation actions are needed.
Pada Deputi Bidang Pencegahan BNN pencatatan inventaris barang yang dipinjamkan masih dilakukan secara manual menggunakan Microsoft Excel sehingga menyebabkan kendala dalam pencarian persediaan barang dan pengolahan data. Untuk mengetahui barang apa yang sudah dipinjamkan dan kepada siapa dipinjamkan, petugas harus melacak satu persatu BAST (Berita Acara Serah Terima Barang) yang dibuat sehingga menjadi tidak efisien. Oleh karena itu perlu dibuatkan sebuah aplikasi inventaris barang milik negara yang dapat digunakan untuk mengelola dan mendata persediaan barang yang ada dan sudah dipinjamkan. Sehingga pihak terkait tidak lagi kesulitan jika ingin memonitoring persediaan barang yang masih ada atau jika ingin melacak barang yang sudah dipinjamkan kepada pihak kedua.
