Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We focus on the agricultural productivity implications of the complex of investment, price, and research policies the Indonesian government has employed since the end of the Green Revolution. In particular, we employ a new 1985-2005 provincial panel dataset together with a stochastic output distance frontier framework to examine how government policies have affected the nation's agricultural productivity, decomposing it into its technical progress and efficiency components. Government's primary contributions to technology growth have come through price and trade policies rather than public research. Most technology growth, however, appears to be due to informal technology diffusion.

This book was released on with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indonesia has managed to combine high rates of growth, rapid reductions in rural poverty and a significant structural transformation of its economy all at the same time without a big increase in urban manufacturing. Agriculture was a critical part of this transformation through two important channels. First, export-oriented agriculture, particularly palm oil and rubber contributed to rising foreign exchange receipts and helped make compatible rapid growth without balance of payments pressure on the macro economy. Second, through the release of workers from low productivity agriculture to more productive nonagricultural activities, structural change contributed between 25 and 50 percent of the rise in national labor productivity depending on the period. The government also played an important role in agricultural development and productivity growth. Public investments in irrigation in combination with subsidies for fertilizer and improved seeds increased agricultural productivity generating an adequate supply of food for domestic needs with less labor.

This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on food security in Indonesia. Ensuring food production and availability is a major concern for policymakers. The Indonesian government has historically made various efforts in this regard, encouraging and providing facilitation to farmers as the main producers of food, such as through the supply of agricultural inputs. In responding to the pandemic, the Indonesian government designed several programmes to protect farmers as food producers. The government was already carrying out these programmes before COVID-19 broke out but it increased their number and frequency during the pandemic. This paper examines the situation for several agricultural commodities as a result of the travel restrictions implemented under COVID-19. These restrictions affected the flow of goods, including of agricultural inputs and outputs. In addition, the paper compares conditions before and during the pandemic, assessing this within the broader context of government actions to address the challenges posed by COVID-19. It employs descriptive analysis, trend analysis and comparative analysis. The paper ends with an analysis of the adequacy of food consumption and food security in Indonesia and of the Social Safety Net (Jaring Pengaman Sosial – JPS) programme. As a result, the agriculture sector in Indonesia has withstood the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic and its early restrictions relatively well. This can be seen in the economic growth (year on year) of the Indonesian agriculture sector, which was consistently positive for eight quarters (from the first quarter of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2021) while at the same time total GDP growth in 2020 was negative. Specifically, the performance and relative resilience of the agriculture sector during the pandemic can be observed on several indicators, such as production, productivity, prices and trade in a number of main commodities, described below. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for all six commodities studied, no major shocks were observed on several indicators, including production, productivity, prices and trade. There were also no major shocks to food resilience. Responsive policies and assured provision of inputs were very important in facing the threat of food stock uncertainty. Indonesia’s government implemented several social safety net programmes, which suppressed the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security. Policy recommendations for the government, to ensure the continued stability and resilience of agriculture and the food system.

Book excerpt: The book focuses on Indonesia's most pressing labor market challenges and associated policy options to achieve higher and more inclusive economic growth. The challenges consist of creating jobs for and the skills in a youthful and increasingly better educated workforce, and raising the productivity of less-educated workers to meet the demands of the digital age. The book deals with a range of interrelated topics---the changing supply and demand for labor in relation to the shift of workers out of agriculture; urbanization and the growth of megacities; raising the quality of schooling for new jobs in the digital economy; and labor market policies to improve both labor standards and productivity.

This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book delves into some of the key issues that have influenced the growth and development of agriculture, which have included but not limited to state intervention that has encompassed putting in place legal framework that laid the foundation, principles, and practices on which operators in agricultural sector operate; direct involvement in the disbursement of directed credit programs to priority sectors; liberalization of trade and financial services while leaving key sub sectors of agriculture such as food crops off limits to any investment that is not allowed by the stated, which has impacted on the agricultural sector by making it relatively unattractive compared with other sector. The agricultural sector has been susceptible to policy change and shifts from highly supportive, import substitution strategy from 1960s to mid-late 1980s to partly liberalized and partly state controlled export-promotion strategy that has characterized the thrust of Indonesian government development policy since 1990s. State involvement has played a pivotal role in increasing the importance of agricultural sector in the economy as reflected in gains in productivity, farmer incomes, household and national food security, employment, poverty incidence, industrial sector performance and foreign exchange earnings. However, agricultural growth and development has come at high financial and ecological costs. Agricultural production has in part been responsible for deforestation, land and forest fires that continue to cause enormous health, financial, weather, and ecological problems and attendant costs to the local population as well as in neighboring countries; man-made disasters that include floods, floods and landslides, rising ferocity and frequency of destructive winds (trees that serve as breakers of high speed winds are cut to give way to farming. The shift from growing and consuming traditional food crops to rice, state intervention in agricultural development in Indonesia has unwittingly contributed to aggravating food insecurity at the household, regional level, and therefore. The partial removal of subsidies in place since 1998, led to high rice prices, and higher expenditure for all Indonesians, rich and poor. Consequently, underemployment and open employment rates remain high, as is income disparity across income groups and regions. Nonetheless, state intervention in agriculture can help to eliminate lingering poverty incidence in suburban areas, most rural areas on Java and Outer Java areas, and Eastern Indonesia in general. Going forward, effectiveness of agricultural policy will hinge on the degree to which it promotes direct investment in improving and enhancing human resource capacity of farmers and rural population as this important resource still constitutes a major drag on any efforts toward not only improving and increasing agricultural productivity and production but also orienting the agricultural sector from inefficient and ineffective resource use to sustainable frugality. This sets the stage for Indonesian policy makers, citizenry, civil society, and other stakeholders to take the necessary steps to nudge back the country's development path from growth at any cost to one that that is both economically, ecologically, and 'social-culturally' sustainable. It is a challenge that while daunting is not only imperative but also very important for the country to take as it joins other United Nations members in charting a new development course of sustainable development in 2015.
