    Agroforestry and sustainable vegetable production in Southeast Asia: A baseline study
    Rahmanulloh, Arif; Budidarsono, Suseno; Roshetko, James M. (Bogor, Indonesia: World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), 2008)
    A baseline study was conducted to provide an analytical basis for socio-economic impact assessment of integrated vegetable-agroforestry systems. The data generated by this study is being used for economic analysis of vegetable farming, specifically: (a) analysis of the current demographic data of farmers, and (b) social and economic analysis of the current vegetable farm practices.
  • Annual research activity report year 3: Socio-economic monitoring study
    Rahmanulloh, Arif; Budidarsono, Suseno (Bogor, Indonesia: World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), 2008)
    Overall objective of socioeconomic team is to assess the socio-economic impacts of integrated vegetable-agroforestry systems on small (women and men) farmers in Nanggung Sub-district. In Year 3, series of activities have been done partly to achieve this objective. In collaboration with T team, vegetable cultivation technologies/practices within agroforestry systems were observed to assess financial viability. Secondly, we collected all farm inputs data (including labor used) of drip irrigation trial and NPK application trial in vegetable farming. With Marketing Team, in order to support marketing development, we provided technical assistance regarding financial viability of indigenous vegetable farming. Using profitability assessment technique (simple Cost-Benefit Analysis) in combination with biophysical parameter, it is found that the medium light plot seems to be more feasible than other plots.

    Better understanding market information to penetrate the VAF market for small-scale farmers
    Kurniawan, Iwan; Roshetko, James M.; Anggakusuma, Denta; Budidarsono, Suseno (2008)
    Generally, Nanggung Sub district, Bogor has relative good accessibility and close to the market. However, their unique landscape has placed the production area in unfavorable condition that is affected in transportation cost and deterioration in post harvest handling. Based on the FGD result, the farmers were not well informed about the vegetables market. Most of farmers are not market-oriented in their decision on agriculture activities. Developing VAF production in this area is still in pilot project level. There is not enough experience to grow vegetables in agroforestry system. To enter in a competitive market, the farmers have to hold reliable market information to minimize their risk. Better understanding on market information of selected vegetables is first step to develop and produce VAF in Nanggung. Farmers have always had to make decisions about what, when to plant, and where and how to sell. Assisting farmers to obtain and use the market information are main focus of this year. Other purposes of the action-research are to facilitate the farmers group in selecting and producing the most marketable VAF and to link the farmers with potential traders.

    Nanggung agroenterprise development's progress activities on developing Katuk and Kucai's production plots
    Kurniawan, Iwan; Budidarsono, Suseno; Anggakusuma, Denta; Rahmanulloh, Arif (2008)
    The market opportunity identification survey has recommended that Nanggung farmers produce and market Katuk and Kucai as a high potential VAFs. The farmers in Nanggung generally plant vegetables only in small area with low productivity and quality, produce irregular yields, have insufficient market information, limited access to credit and selling the products individually. Market required reliability of quality, regular supply and minimum quantity to fulfill economic efficiency in transporting the vegetables to the market. To overcome the farmer's constraints and respond to market opportunity, the farmers need to coordinate their production and marketing activities through collective marketing by developing a Nanggung agro-enterprise.

    Understanding the target farmers of agroforestry and sustainable vegetable production development: The case of Nanggung subdistrict, Bogor, Indonesia
    Budidarsono, Suseno; Rahmanulloh, Arif; Roshetko, James M. (Bogor, Indonesia: World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), 2008)
    Agroforestry systems constitute promising livelihood options for rural poor in the uplands and also represent a strategic management approach for degraded land (watershed) that balances both economic and environmental issues. In Indonesia, the SANREM CRSP program "Agroforestry and Sustainable Vegetable Production in Southeast Asia Watersheds" aims to improve both technological options and ecological potential of integrated vegetable agroforestry (VAF) to benefit farmer livelihoods. This socioeconomic baseline study is a farm/household assessment focusing on vegetable-producing farm and household budget analyses in the target area. It provides an analytical basis for socioeconomic impact assessment of integrated VAF systems. The socioeconomic data collected comprises demographics, farm characteristics, households' incomes and expenditures, gender roles, and labor availability.
