PROBLEMS AND CONSTRAINTS TO AGRICULTURE
DEVELOPMENT

• Agriculture infrastructure and facilities in
  state of disrepair
• Problem in input markets inconsistent quality
  (seeds), distribution system (fertilizer)
• Lack of access to information, technologies, and
  financial sources (due to low resources
  endowment)
• Marketing system fluctuating and low prices for
  farm produce
• Fast aging farm population rural youths not
  attracted to agriculture as a vocation

7
PANCA YASA (FIVE EFFORTS FOR DEVELOPMENT)

• Agriculture infrastructure irrigation, farm
  roads, support services.
• Farmers organization empowerment self help
  approach and strengthening bargaining power.
• Agricultural extension increase access to
  information, knowledge and technologies.
• Agriculture finance provide easy access to
  financial system, micro credits.
• Agriculture marketing increase efficiency and
  value added.

Objective and Strategies
Objectives

• To explore, identify, characterize, conserve and
  increase the usefulness of sustainable
  agricultural genetic resources potentials
• To identify, characterize and produce
  technologies for optimal utilization of soils,
  water and agro climate resources
• To produce and disseminate agricultural
  technologies and innovations to improve
  agribusiness efficiencies
• To produce policy recommendations on social,
  economic and institutional matters
• To produce a model for agribusiness development
  and management
• To increase capacity, professionalism and moral
  integrity of human resources for agricultural RD

14
Objectives and Strategies
Strategies

• Improving natural resources utilization and
  focusing on prioritized research activities
• Sharpening prioritization and harmonizing of RD
  programs
• Improving needs, relevance, quality and
  scientific and economic added value of RD
• Improving research collaboration and
  commercialization with other RD institutions
  (national and international), universities, NGOs,
  private sector
• Improving acceleration of dissemination and
  modality/ mechanisms for feedback on agricultural
  innovations

15
IAARD Main RD Programmes
IAARD Main RD Programmes 2005-2009

• Agricultural Resources Management (land, water,
  climate, genetic resources)
• Commodity (food crops, horticultural crops,
  estate crops, livestock 17 main commodities)
• Socioeconomic and Agricultural Added Value,
  including marketing and international trade.
• Assessment and Acceleration of Agriculture
  Innovation (Technology and Institution)
  Dissemination
• Research Institutional Development and
  Communication of Research Results

16
Reorientation for Agriculture RD

• RD IS DIRECTED / FOCUSED TOWARD
• Support agricultural development by producing
  applied technologies relevant to the development
  program set by DGs/MoA
• Focus on a limited number of prioritized
  commodities and cross cutting issues
• Strengthen linkages between NRCs/RIs, AIATs,
  extension services, private sector and farmers
• Develop national and international RD networking
  
• Research must be quantifiable/measurable in term
  of outputs, time and budget efficiency
• Clear expected result and time frame
• Shorten RD turn around time from basic,
  applied, prototype, and commercialization of
  research result

17
AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

• High yield variety breeding and seed production
  on prioritized commodities
• Production systems and techno-economy on food
  crops, horticultural crops, estate crops, and
  livestock
• Bio-fuel technology development (on farm and
  primary products)
• Detection and management of zoonostic diseases
  (avian flu, anthrax, japanese encephalities, etc)
• Management of genetic resources and materials
  sustainability and utilization of the resources

  food security, employment, rural development,
  pricing policy, marketing and distribution,
  protection/subsidy, international trade
• Land, water resources, climate and agricultural
  environment resources management, optimal use
  and efficiency
• Agriculture machinery efficiency and value added

  some positive results, even though there are
  several problems in the management of our
  collaboration
• Suggestions
• Collaboration can be further strengthened and
  institutionalized
• Project proposals should be complementary to
  Indonesian agricultural research agenda
• Technology dissemination and transfer activities
  should be given greater emphasis

27
IAARD-ACIAR (Continued)

• Continue focus on eastern Indonesia, but at the
  same time keep more attention to Java and
  Sumatera
• High proportion of poverty
• High contribution of agriculture product

• More focus on commodities related to food
  security, job creation, and strong market demands
  (domestic and exports)
• Issues related to major constraint in achieving
  efficiency and competitiveness

28
IAARD-ACIAR (Continued)

• International issues and interest
• Avian influenza and trans boundary diseases
• Agricultural International agreements policies
