Farmers’ Perception on Climate Change Impacts on Coffee Farming: A Case Study of Gayo Highlands, Aceh, Indonesia

2024-02-29T08:10:24+00:00

In Aceh, Indonesia, climate change is predicted to reduce land availability and suitability for Arabica coffee production by 90% by 2050. Arabica coffee farming is and will be more impacted by climatic events as a result of such climate change among commercial crops. This study examines how coffee farmers in Aceh Tengah and Bener Meriah (Gayo Highlands), two of Indonesia's major Arabica coffee producing areas, perceive changes in climate, their personal susceptibility to the impacts of climate change, and their coping/adaptation strategies. Focus Group Discussions were carried out with twenty-eight coffee farmers and ten local experts were interviewed to gain information on the topics. The data analysis from FGD and interviews show the multiple stresses of rainfall and temperature on Arabica coffee productivity in Gayo Highlands. Findings indicate that coffee producers have only moderate concerns about climate issues despite the harm climate change poses to the industry. The continuous and current effects of climate change may endanger coffee production and its sustainability in Gayo Highlands, thereby highlighting the potential for negative impacts on the livelihoods of local communities, which could further exacerbate the welfare challenges faced by their families. A number of suggestions were made to help the parties involved create better adaptation plans that are tailored to the needs, interests, and capacities of the farmers.

Analysis of Animal-Sourced Protein Food Demand Function in Household in East Java and East Nusa Tenggara

2024-06-03T02:02:06+00:00

The consumption of animal-sourced protein food in Indonesia is projected to continue increasing. However, current issues include low average consumption levels, a significant share of expenditure, and relatively high prices of some animal-sourced protein foods. This study analyzed the demand function for animal protein food consumption to identify the factors influencing household consumption and examined own-price elasticity, cross-price elasticity, and income elasticity. The analysis used SUSENAS consumption data, including household members, income, and food expenditure, and employed the QUAIDS model. The results showed that all variables were significant at the 1 percent level, implying that animal protein food commodities were influenced by household income, own-price, prices of other commodities, and socio-demographic factors (household size, age of household head, education level of household head, and region) in East Java and East Nusa Tenggara. The animal food commodity most sensitive to income changes in East Java was milk (1.409%), followed by meat (1.252%), and fish (1.214%) as luxury goods, and eggs (0.433%) as normal goods. The Marshallian (uncompensated) and Hicksian (compensated) own-price elasticities for all commodities in East Java and NTT were negative, indicating that the demand for animal protein food adhered to the law of demand. The Hicksian (compensated) cross-price elasticity values for other commodities in East Java and NTT were positive, suggesting that these commodities are substitutes for one another.
