Calling Consultant for
Development of SOP Document at VCO Production House
Background
Global demand for coconut has increased in the last decade. Indonesia’s
production for fresh coconut is 31% of global production (19,400,000
tons), with export value in VCO is 37% of the total. NTT is amongst the 10
largest producers of coconut in Indonesia, with 246,893 coconut farmers
and for VCO most of the farmers involved are women. NTT coconut has low
competitiveness due to lack of aggregation service that link producers
with industrial users, lack of awareness of buyers on the potential of NTT
coconut products, farmers do not have information on quality standards
required by industrial buyers, and lack of tools and technology provider
for transformation of production.
Global demand for fresh coconut and desiccated coconut has been increasing
consistently in last decade. Indonesia is one of the major exporting
countries of fresh coconut, desiccated coconut, copra, copra cake, and
coconut copra oil (CCO). NTT supplies around 2% of the total national
production of fresh coconut, with potential to improve production and
productivity further. Income of coconut farmers in Flores-NTT still low
due to most of fresh coconut only selling for copra, and direct supply to
Java without sustainable production of VCO coconut products made by
private companies who working directly with governments and communities in
NTT particularly on the island of Flores. Some of farmers produce VCO in
household level and sell it to local market with low price. Meanwhile,
trend of International demand on VCO still increase with higher price but
it is limited to organic certified VCO
Based on this situation Oxfam-PRISMA facilitates PSP in Jakarta and ISP in
Maumere Sikka district and also ISP in Adonara East Flores to sign
partnership agreement on organic VCO Businesses. ISP will build VCO
production house in Maumera and Adonara to produce high quality VCO from
organic fresh coconut as well as equip the VCO production house with VCO
production machine which has large production capacity to meet
international market demand of at least 1 container per month. While, PSP
will be responsible for conducting and financing the organic certification
in farmer level and in production house. PSP will buy organic VCO from
production house and sell it to the national/ international markets.
PSP will also give technical assistance to ISP on ensuring quality of the
product meet with buyer requirement. Coconut farmers will supply organic
fresh coconut to production house as main ingredient to produce VCO. Their
organic coconuts will be bought with premium prices and stable demand to
increase their income.
