“…Figure 1). Migration and agricultural extensification have brought about significant improvements in local livelihoods Klasen et al, 2016), but these came at the expense of forest and biodiversity losses (Drescher et al, 2016). Deforestation in Indonesia has been linked to both excessive logging (Busch et al, 2015) and the palm oil boom (Austin et al, 2017).…”

AbstractThis paper studies the interactions between political and economic incentives to foster forest conversion in Indonesian districts. Using a district-level panel data set from 2001 to 2016, we analyze variation in remotely sensed forest loss and forest fires as well as measures of land use licensing. We link these outcomes to economic incentives to expand oil palm cultivation areas as well as political incentives arising before idiosyncratically-timed local mayoral elections. Empirical results document substantial increases in deforestation and forest fires in the year prior to local elections. Additionally, oil palm plays a crucial role in driving deforestation dynamics. Variations in global market prices of palm oil are closely linked to deforestation in areas which are geo-climatically best suited for growing oil palm and they amplify the importance of the political cycle. We thus find clear evidence for economic and political incentives reinforcing each other as drivers of forest loss and land conversion for oil palm cultivation. JEL-Code: O13, Q15, Q56, P16

“…In the current context, the agro-industrial sector faces the necessity of an increase in a range of products, improvement of the consumer parameters of products, technical and technological modernization, development of the control systems, search for innovative solutions to ensure leadership qualities, etc (Moskalenko and Yevsieieva, 2015;Zambon et al, 2019). Such transformations are aimed primarily at cost optimization, better meeting consumers' needs, stabilization of financial condition, formation of competitive advantages, and consolidation of market positions (Klasen et al, 2016). In such conditions, there is a need to implement effective commercialization of innovations in the agro-industrial sector on the basis of the use of the most effective forms and methods taking into account the needs for increasing the leadership positions in the market environment.…”

In the current highly competitive, dynamic and volatile context, an agro-industrial sector is able to operate successfully in the market and take leadership positions, to a large extent, due to the development and commercialization of innovations. The purpose of the article is to study the scientific and applied principles of the development of commercialization of innovations in the agro-industrial sector in Ukraine as a direction of support of its leadership positions in the world market of agro-industrial products. As a result of theoretical generalization and comparison of the views of leading scientists, the author`s approach to the determination of the essence of commercialization of innovations has been substantiated. By means of system analysis, the current situation of innovation activity in the agro-industrial sector and the current important tasks that are necessary to ensure the process of commercialization of innovations have been analyzed. On the basis of the use of strategic and structural-functional analysis methods, the forms and methods for the commercialization of innovations in the agro-industrial sector have been identified. The polycriterial model of the selection of the most optimal forms and methods of the commercialization of innovations in the agro-industrial sector have been developed, which is based on a number of criteria, such as: level of resource support; expected efficiency from the implementation of innovations; maintenance of control and responsibility center within the enterprise; availability of a professional outsourcing enterprise in the market that meets the requirements of the manufacturer of innovative products; availability of the center of responsibility; pooling of resources; focus on expanding market share; possibility of provision of consulting services; maintenance of the trademark. The necessity of improvement of the infrastructure of the scientific and educational sphere for the commercialization of innovations in the agroindustrial sector has been substantiated.

“…Meanwhile, however, stories from successful transmigrants have attracted other families to migrate into the area, fueling further conversion of forest. Land use transformation in Jambi province is closely linked to immigration-migrants provide expanding agro-businesses with a workforce, or else hope to be set up on land and begin production by themselves [37].…”

Contribution of Forest Restoration to Rural Livelihoods and Household Income in Indonesia

2016

Forest resources remain vital to the survival of many rural communities, though the level of forest reliance varies across a range of sites and socio-economic settings. This article investigates variation in forest utilization across households in three ethnic groups living near a forest restoration area in Sumatra, Indonesia. Survey data were collected on 268 households, with a four-month recall period and three repeat visits to each selected household within a year. Random sampling was applied to select households in five villages and five Batin Sembilan (indigenous) semi-nomadic groups. Sampled households belonged to three ethnic groups: 15% were Batin Sembilan, 40% Local Malayan, and 45% Immigrant households. Indigenous households displayed the highest reliance on forests: 36% of their annual total income came from this source, as compared with 10% and 8% for Local and Immigrant households, respectively. Our findings showed that the livelihoods of indigenous groups were still intricately linked with forest resources, despite a rapid landscape-wide transition from natural forest to oil palm and timber plantations.
