Program Summary – NZAID EDA

agriculture industry in Indonesia
consists of a large number of complex product-specific value chains, which in
turn involve many different market actors. The government of Indonesia (GOI)

dynamic domestic and international challenges, and requires increased
partnership among different groups, including NGOs, Donors, local Community
Social Organizations, and the Private sector, to obtain competitive advantage
in global markets and to improve livelihoods for farmers. To increase its
competitiveness, the Indonesian agriculture industry needs improved production
system efficiency, increased quality control management for sustainable
production, and improved product promotion for local and export markets.
