With its vast and abundant fertile soils and forest and marine resources, Indonesia is a major key producer of a wide variety of agri- and aquaculture, mining, and forestry products. The agricultural sector is an important source of income and employment. Indonesia has a population of approximately 260 million, of which 120 million live in rural areas, and 50 million of them are economically active in agriculture.
IDH Indonesia runs 8 different sector programs and 3 landscape program. The Pulp & Paper, Palm Oil and Tropical Timber programs were recently integrated into the landscape program. Other programs will continue their sector-level efforts but are also playing an active role in different focus landscapes.
The most important highlights and key achievements per program were:
- Palm Oil: a solid pipeline of projects was built, covering about 20,000 farmers on 40,000 ha. The first projects started implementation. Strategic partnerships with private companies and governments were built for the development of sustainable supply sheds in Aceh and South Sumatra.
- Coffee: The Sustainable Coffee Platform Indonesia (SCOPI) was established and developed a national curriculum for training farmers on sustainable agricultural practices. In 5 field level projects, more than 29,000 farmers were trained.
- Cocoa: 5,906 cocoa farmers received training and 9,035 obtained certification; the Cocoa Sustainability Partnership (CSP) expanded its membership and activities; a taskforce on Agri-Finance was established.
- Spices: Three pilot projects supported farmers to achieve certification, and improve productivity and quality of their products. More than 4,000 farmers were trained, and almost 10,000 ha of spices fields were under sustainable management practices.
