Project Overview and Role
The
Government of Indonesia partners with the Government of Australia on an
initiative to boost smallholder farmers incomes: The
Australia-Indonesia Partnership for Rural Economic Development
(AIP-Rural).
AIP-Rural is a program with 4 projects: PRISMA (agricultural development), TIRTA (irrigation), SAFIRA (value chain finance) and ARISA (applied agriculture research). It follows a Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) approach and will contribute to a 30%, or more, increase in net incomes for 300,000 smallholder farming households by December 2018. It works in a range of sub-sectors in collaboration with farmers, businesses, government and civil society partners to increase the competitiveness of farm businesses through (i) increased productivity; (ii) improved business practices; (iii) a growing share of an expanding market; and (iv) the continuous adoption of innovations. The project works in five (5) provinces in Eastern Indonesia: East Java, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur, West Papua and Papua.
Shallot is a commodity considered irreplaceable in Indonesian household. With a harvest area totaling up to 87,000 hectares, the need for shallot bulbs for cultivation reaches 340 tons. The Government of Indonesia, however, has decided to put a stop to the import of shallot bulbs and encourage the use of True Shallot Seed (TSS) as a better alternative to bulbs for shallot production. As one hectare of land only requires 4 kilograms of TSS, compared to approximately 500 kilograms of bulbs, the cost of planting material can be brought down by a substantial amount when farmers switch to using TSS. Moreover, the yield from using TSS can be double the amount from bulbs.
PRISMA is collaborating with a private seed company to promote the use of TSS as a high-quality planting material in shallot cultivation. Through a series of activities, both online and offline, it is hoped that farmers' awareness of the TSS advantages can be raised. To ensure the implementation of such activities, an application-based reporting system will be developed for internal monitoring purposes.
