Oxfam Indonesia has the vision that people in Indonesia will live equitably

Background
Indonesia is the world’s largest coconut producer (31% of global
production) and fresh coconut exporter (33% of global fresh coconut
export). Coconut is one of agriculture's superior products in Indonesia
especially in areas with huge coconut plant potential in Flores NTT, Maluku
& Papua, Java, Sulawesi, Sumatera and Kalimantan and the global and
national demand for coconut products has been increasing since last decade,
especially for products such as coconut oil, VCO, other nut product. Crude
Coconut Oil (CCO) production in Flores is already known by farmers /
producers, mainly by women at household level. They produce this CCO from
their own coconut using traditional method and limited equipment.
Unfortunately the CCO product from household producer in Flores is only
sold to local market but the actual CCO quantity sold is less than the
quantity produced (most producers only sell half of their product). The
quality of the CCO varies significantly mainly because the producers have
different understanding in CCO production process.
To see the real condition in Indonesia, Oxfam-Prisma project initiate to
facilitate and support coconut farmers in Flores to increase their income
by linking them with better value markets. PRISMA is a market-led
agricultural systems approach to improve farmer practices, link farmers to
input and output markets and improve the local business enabling
environment in a systematic and sustainable way. It is expected that
interventions aimed at improving the market system will lead to improving
the income of 300,000 targeted poor farmers in Eastern Indonesia by at
least 30 percent by program end.
The competitiveness of NTT’s Crude Coconut Oil (CCO) can be improved by
improving the quality and production of CCO by woman farmers/coconut
farmers and facilitating aggregation point by local intermediate service
provider. Oxfam has a role to provide and facilitate the project
intervention consist of facilitate the establishment of CCO producer group
in village level, develops training modules and support private sector
partner and intermediate service provider to conduct training series on
good handling practices (GHP) and Quality Assurance (QA) to CCO producer.
