Policy And Institutional Mapping For Small-scale Producers Participation In Dynamic Markets In Indonesia

Rapid changes are taking place in agri-food markets in middle and low-income countries, including Indonesia. The spread of dynamic modern retailers, wholesalers and food processing businesses is reshaping the way that food systems are governed. Small-scale agriculture, which supports the livelihoods of the majority of rural poor, is poorly prepared for these changes. Public policy makers and development partners are generally remote from changes taking place within the market. They lack evidence upon which to support policy dialogue and intervention. Research and support to the policy process can assist producers, businesses, and policy makers to anticipate and respond to this challenging environment, in ways that contribute to the resilience of rural economies. This work on policy and institutional mapping is part of an international and multi-donor funded entitled Regoverning Markets The overall aim of the Regoverning Markets is to provide strategic advice and guidance to the public sector, agri-food chain actors, civil society organizations including economic organizations of producers, and development agencies on approaches that can anticipate and manage the impacts of the dynamic changes in local and regional markets. The project comprises of three operational components: Component 1 – Empirical research to inform policy (eight country studies) (C1); Component 2 – Building on innovation and guiding practice (C2); Component 3 – Learning platforms and policy dialogue (C3).
