Indonesia’s Agricultural sector is set to have strong growth in 2011.

Indonesia expects output of key plantation crops, including palm oil and rubber, to increase next year on the back of expanded acreage, improving yields and expected good weather, a senior agriculture official said on Thursday.

An unusually long rainy season this year has wreaked havoc on most of the country’s plantation crops, tightening supply to global markets and driving up prices of rubber and palm oil.

Palm oil production from the world’s top producer is expected to increase by 5.3 pct to 24.43 million tonnes in 2011 from an estimated of 23.2 million tonnes this year, said Gamal Nasir, director general of plantation crops at the agriculture ministry, in an end-year news conference.

The country’s rubber production is forecast to grow by 1.12 percent to hit 2.711 million tonnes in 2011 from an estimated 2.681 million tonnes this year, he said.

A hybrid rice technology cooperation project was officially launched by China and Indonesia in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia on Dec. 29.

Zhang Qiyue, Chinese ambassador to Indonesia; Haryono, director-general of the Indonesian Agricultural Ministry’s Research and Development Section; Chen Peng, president and director of Yuan Long Ping High-Tech Agriculture and others attended the launch ceremony.

The start of the research, which was a signal of improving relations between the two countries, was overseen by representatives of Indonesia’s Agricultural Ministry and Yuan Long Ping High-Tech Agriculture, one of China’s well-regarded crop varieties development firms, and presided over by Zhang.

The program is designed to be in effect for three years, starting from April this year and ending in 2013.

Referring to two hybrid rice strains brought to the ceremony site, Chen said the two strains were developed by Yuan Long Ping and particularly designed for Indonesian natural terrain.

“These two strains feature higher yield — much higher than most on the Indonesian market — and better quality. They are the achievement of our plan to develop particular stains of rice for Indonesia,” he said.

ndonesia expects production of white sugar to increase by nearly 70 and rice by a more modest 4.3 percent next year on the back of improving yields and expanded acreage, the agriculture minister said on Wednesday. Prolonged wet weather this year reduced production of the country’s key agriculture commodities and forced south-east Asia’s biggest economy to import rice and white sugar to bridge an anticipated shortfall.

Indonesia expects to produce 3.87 million tonnes of sugar next year, up from a downward revision of 2.3 million tonnes this year, agriculture minister Suswono told an end-of-year news conference. “Rains have sharply reduced sugar content this year leading to lower production, but we will work hard to achieve self-sufficiency in sugar by 2014,” said Suswono.

Indonesia, south-east Asia biggest sugar consumer, was the world’s second biggest producer after Cuba in 1930s, but capacity fell because of a combination of ageing sugar mills, an influx of cheap imports and low productivity from a vast network of smallholders.

The government will spend 103 billion Indonesian rupiah ($11.4 million) next year to boost sugar production from just 15.2 billion this year, said Gamal Nasir, director general of plantation crops. “We will do replanting, expand sugar cane plantations and improving seedlings,” said Nasir.

The expansion of paddy fields and the use of high-yielding seeds are expected to boost the country’s rice production to 68.8 million tonnes of unmilled rice in 2011, up 4.3 percent from an estimated of 65.98 million tonnes for this year, the agriculture minister said.

Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) has grown 45% this year. Estimates are that US$60 trillion was seeking to be invested at present, $48 trillion of which is owned by European and US’ investors.
Palm oil has rallied 36% this year, rising demand in China may strain global supplies curbed by rain and drought in producing nations.

Corn prices are rising sharply with the weekly ethanol report showing a 6.1 percent rise in production from the previous week — up 19.2 percent from a year ago.

With its strategic partners, Arrow has begun the development of plantation/farming operations and ethanol production facilities in Indonesia on 3.5 million hectares (ha) of land on the islands of Kalimantan and Sulawesi.

Arrow is working closely with its group of Indonesian partners to initiate operations in Konawe, South East Sulawesi.

The necessary approval has been granted by the local government (Bupati Konawe Selatan (Regent Government Officer in Charge of a Regency), H. Imran) to commence operation at two sites totaling 162,000 ha.
The mapping, surveying and planning for these first sites have been completed and all necessary information has been filed with the local and national government offices.

The profit generated (70%) from all operations are to be invested in three trust funds for the retirement of the local farmers, the education of the local Farmer’s children and the expansion of the operations of GMPLH.

The Company will select internationally recognized trust managers to oversee the distribution of proceeds.
Each project includes funding for the construction of local schools, field hospitals, farmer housing and the technical education of the farmers.
Environmental and Wildlife Concerns

Arrow understands that any large-scale natural resource development operation faces environmental and wildlife conservation concerns. In the interest of good corporate citizenship, a plan has been developed to ensure that all operations are sensitive to cultivating these resources in a renewable and responsible matter.

The group’s team of scientists, bioengineers and environmentalists have developed the plantation, farming and plant operation plans consistently focusing on environmental and wildlife concerns. Each program includes a comprehensive plan for the relocation of wildlife to a preserve, sensitivity towards the preservation of bio-diversity, investigation of medical benefits from native flora, and the replanting several noble species of trees.
