FRESH DYNAMICS ASIA
In January 2013 Wageningen-UR (Netherlands) together with Fresh Dynamics Asia and Indonesian partners will launch the Veg-IMPACT program. The objective of this three (3) year program is to Improve Vegetable Production and Marketing for small farmers to Increase the Food Security status and to promote Private Sector Development in Indonesia (Veg-IMPACT)
Background and Context Veg-IMPACT
During the last couple of years, in joint Indonesian-Dutch projects, methods have been developed to assess current vegetables production farming practices, attaining consensus with stakeholders on practical recommendations for improvement and dissemination of improved practices among farmers through demonstration fields, trainings and farmer field visits. The results of these coordinated interventions were an increased profitability of vegetable production at farmer’s level, improved product quality and food safety and less emission of agro-chemicals.
This methodology will be made even more effective by adding a market development component in close collaboration with commercial market players. In the Veg-IMPACT program Wageningen UR and Indonesian partners will simultaneously address farmers’ production practices, post-harvest vegetables handling, logistics and marketing in order to create impact in the market. Practical training, supply chain development and facilitation and creating market access for large numbers of farmers in five Provinces, are key components of the Veg—IMPACT program.
Commercial and sustainable Product Market Combinations (PMCs or ‘pilots’) and supply chain development in general play a pivotal role in the Veg-IMPACT program. These ‘real life’ pilots of specific vegetables product-market combinations will be implemented in five major vegetables producing provinces in Indonesia (West, Central and East Java, Sulawesi and Sumatra).
Fresh Dynamics Asia, Indonesia (www.freshdynamics.biz), in close cooperation with Wageningen-UR, is responsible for the identification and development of the Product Market Combinations (PMCs) in cooperation with partners from the entire supply chain. Specific Product Market Combinations and sustainable supply chains will be developed targeting at the following markets:
(i)High end retail and other modern markets;
(ii)Traditional wet markets (still absorbing the majority of all vegetables) plus, albeit at a limited scale;
(iii)Export markets.
