Indonesia: a multi-market, cassava economy
Indonesia is the premier example of a well-integrated cassava economy, where the multiuse characteristics of the crop are fully exploited. Av. yields range from 2.3 to 19.5 t/ha, depending on cropping system and, above all, land type. The 5 major cassava- producing zones are characterized. Cassava-b...

| description | Indonesia is the premier example of a well-integrated cassava economy, where the multiuse characteristics of the crop are fully exploited. Av. yields range from 2.3 to 19.5 t/ha, depending on cropping system and, above all, land type. The 5 major cassava- producing zones are characterized. Cassava-based systems provide a significant return on cash outlay. Cassava has been ignored by policy-makers despite the fact that (a) it has played a significant role in underpinning key policy objectives and in transmigration projects and that (b) historically, it has been an important export crop and is the 2nd most important calorie source in the diet. Income influences the distribution of cassava consumption; e.g., gaplek is a nonpreferred food consumed mainly by the poor. Except for starch, the tendency is for total cassava consumption to decline with income. The cassava starch market remains very dynamic. With the high income elasticity for krupuk, the potential in making high fructose sweeteners from cassava in upland areas, and increases in the textile, paper, and plywood industries, the demand for starch will continue to grow. Effective price transmission and adequately linked markets imply relatively competitive price formation throughout the country. (CIAT) |

(CIAT) Indonesia es el principal ejemplo de una economia de yuca bien integrada, donde las caracteristicas de uso multiple del cultivo se explotan ampliamente. Los rendimientos prom. fluctuan entre 2.3 y 19.5 t/ha, dependiendo del sistema de cultivo y sobre todo del tipo de tierra. Se caracterizan las 5 principales zonas productoras de yuca. Los sistemas a base de yuca proporcionan una ganancia al desembolso de efectivo. La yuca ha sido ignorada por aquellos encargados de hacer las politicas a pesar de que esta a) ha desempenado un papel significativo al apoyar los objetivos de las politicas clave y de los proyectos de transmigracion y b) ha sido historicamente un cultivo de exportacion importante y la segunda fuente de calorias en la dieta. El ingreso influye en la distribucion del consumo de yuca; p. ej., el gaplek es un alimento no preferido, consumido principalmente por la poblacion de escasos recursos. A excepcion del almidon, el consumo total de yuca disminuye a medida que aumenta el ingreso. El mercado de almidon de yuca sigue siendo muy dinamico. La demanda de almidon continuara creciendo gracias a la gran elasticidad de ingreso del krupuk; al potencial para la fabricacion a partir de la yuca de edulcorantes con alto contenido de fructosa en areas de tierras altas; y al crecimiento de las industrias de textiles, papel y madera prensada. La transmision efectiva de precios y la vinculacion adecuada de los mercados implican la formacion de precios relativamente competitivos en todo el pais.
