Executive Summary

This report provides a rapid district readiness assessment (RDRA) of the capacity, commitment, and investment opportunities of South Pesisir (Pesisir Selatan) District, West Sumatra, to support environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth through the MCA-Indonesia Green Prosperity Program (GPP). This assessment included a field visit from October 28 to 29, 2014. The objectives of this rapid assessment were to assess the level of readiness of South Pesisir District for GPP activities, and specifically examined: political conditions; institutional capacity; regulatory frameworks; social and gender analysis; and required conditions under the Millennium Challenge Compact. The result of this assessment will be used to rank the 11 districts for signing of MoUs with MCA-Indonesia for project implementation. South Pesisir has a complex landscape, from coastal islands to the Barisan Mountain range east of the city of Padang. The coastal area of South Pesisir includes 47 small islands, covering 20% of the total land area of 5,580 km2. The mountainous area comprises about 53% of the area and has very steep slopes (i.e., >40%), while about 33% is considered flat. Of the total district area, 64% is forested, with 45% (260,383 ha) located within Kerinci Seblat National Park. Remaining areas comprise secondary forest (10.79%), plantation (5.87%), agriculture (8.97%), and settlements (2.68%). South Pesisir has a wet, tropical climate, with average rainfall of 300 mm/year and average humidity of 80%. The population of South Pesisir in 2012 was 437,638 people, with a sex ratio of 96.84 men: 100

women. The population grew by 3,336 people, or 1.0%, relative to 2011 figures. Population density

averages 77 people per km2.

The recent economic performance of South Pesisir has shown steady improvement, indicated by an increase in gross domestic regional product (GDRP) from IDR 2,654.32 billion in 2006 to IDR 4,619.17 billion in 2010. Of this total 2010 GDRP, 34% was generated by the agriculture sector, followed by the trade sector (22%), services (16%), and industry (13%). The inflation rate in South Pesisir during the period of 2009-2010 was at 7.75%. The incidence of poverty decreased from 2006 to 2010 from 43% (41,414 household) to 25% (27,611 household). South Pesisir has high potential for low-carbon economic growth through natural resource management (NRM) and renewable energy (RE) activities. Forest management and protection through HTN (hutan nagari1) has provided a good foundation for future intervention in NRM. Although at the same time, South Pesisir faces high deforestation due to illegal logging within the Kerinci Seblat National Park (Rachmat and Hamdi 2007). Hydropower also has great potential for development in the district, with potential sites previously identified by the district, with several micro-hydro, biogas, and photo-voltaic power facilities in operation since the 1990s. South Pesisir scored 49 out of a maximum potential “readiness” score of 60, which indicates a high level of readiness to receive GPP investment. The lowest of all component readiness scores for South Pesisir was recorded for real incentives that the local government could provide for green development. This area could represent an opportunity for additional intervention in South Pesisir by MCA-Indonesia.

1 In other province, Nagari Forest is called Village Forest (Hutan Desa – village forest is a state forest managed by the village and used for the welfare of the village [Forestry Law No. 41/1999]). Before the reforms of 1999 and the implementation of regional autonomy in 2001, the lowest local government unit under the district administrations was the Javanese model of the village, the desa. Under regional autonomy, the traditional Minangkabau nagari, which are larger than villages elsewhere in Indonesia, have been reintroduced in place of the desa.

Section 1 Introduction

1.1 Background MCA-Indonesia, under the Green Prosperity Project (GPP), has pre-selected 11 districts within six

provinces as target area for project investments (in addition to 4 districts targeted for previous pilot

projects). Prior to proceeding with the GPP in these districts, their readiness to host GPP activities

must be assessed to determine which district has the greatest readiness, based on criteria set by

MCA-Indonesia that include appropriate capacity, commitment, and investment opportunities to

support environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth. These rapid District

Readiness Assessments (RDRA) are intended to ensure that these targeted districts can effectively

support GPP activities, and to prioritize these 11 districts for signing of Memoranda of

Understanding (MOU) with MCA-Indonesia. These rapid DRAs are undertaken by the Project

Management Consultant (PMC) supporting MCA-Indonesia.

This report represents the rapid DRA undertaken for the GPP by PMC, for South Pesisir District, West

Sumatra.

1.2 Objective Objectives of this Rapid DRA were:

To assess the level of district readiness related to: political conditions, institutional capacity,

regulatory frameworks, social and gender analysis, and conformance with Millennium Challenge

Compact conditions;

To support MCA-Indonesia in prioritizing the 11 pre-selected districts for MOU signing; and

To assess investment opportunities within the district for environmentally sustainable and low-

carbon economic growth.

Section 3 General Description of the District

3.1 Location and Accessibility South Pesisir District was established through Law No. 12/1956 concerning establishment of

Regional District Autonomy within Central Sumatra Province. A map of South Pesisir District is

presented in Appendix A1.

South Pesisir is located in the province of West Sumatra, and exhibits a complex landscape from

coastal islands and plains to the Barisan Mountain range, east of the city of Padang. The coastal area

of South Pesisir includes 47 small islands, covering 1,213 km2 (i.e., 20% of the total land area of

5,580 km2). South Pesisir has a marine area of 84,312 km2.

The mountainous area has very steep slopes (i.e., >40%) and comprises about 53% of the district

area, while about 33% of the district is considered flat. Of the total district area, 64% (370,775 ha) is

within primary forest, followed by secondary forest (10.8%, or 62,532 ha), plantation (5.9%, or

34,007 ha), agriculture (9.0%, or 51,983 ha), and settlements (2.7%, or 15,531 ha).

As with South Solok district (also subject to RDRA), South Pesisir district also includes a portion of

Kerinci Seblat National Park, covering 260,383 ha (45%) of the district. Production forests cover a

total area of 68,546 ha (11.8%), while 49,720 ha (8.6%) is zoned as protected forest. Non-forested

area covers 150,618 ha (26.0%).

South Pesisir has a tropical climate, with average rainfall of 300 mm/year with the average humidity

of 80%. Peak of the wet season normally occurs in January and December, while minimum rainfall

occurs in May.

About 19 rivers flow from highlands in conservation areas (including Kerinci Seblat National Park)

to the lowlands and beaches in the western part of the district. These rivers form 14 main

watersheds with the largest watershed is Batang Inderapura (3,830 km2). This watershed is formed

by the main river of Batang Inderapura (94 km length) and another two sub-rivers flow to the

Batang Inderapura (i.e, Batang Tapan and Batang Lunang rivers). Map of watersheds in South

Pesisir district is presented in Appendix 1A.

Painan, the capital city of South Pesisir district, can be assessed by road from the city of Padang (the

capital city of West Sumatra), by the distance of 77 km or about 2 hours driving. Road condition is

very good with beautiful mountain views at the northeast side and beach and sea at the southwest

side, and an agricultural landscape in lowland areas (see photographs in Appendix A2).

3.2 Demographics Based on 2012 census data, the population of South Pesisir was 437,638 people, including 215,302

men and 222,336 women (sex ratio of 96.84:100). This 2012 population figure was 1.0% greater

than the total reported for 2011. Population density averages 77 people per km2. The highest

population density of 471 people/km2 is located in Bayang Sub District; lowest population density of

28 people/km2 is in IV Nagari Bayang Utara Sub District.

Of the total population (437,638 people), 175,159 people are in the productive age/labor force age

(15-64 yrs old; having permanent or temporary job; and/or applying for a job), and 172,922 people

are non labor force (students, housewife, disability, and voluntary unemployment – people who are

not actively looking for a job), and 89,557 people are non productive age (0-14 yrs, and > 64 yrs). Of

the total productive age/labor force age, 154,415 people are working and 20,744 people are

unemployed. Of the total employed population (154,415 people), a total of 82,149 people (53.2%)

work in agriculture and forestry, 28,844 people (18.7%) work in community services, 25,370

(16.4%) work in trade, 3,150 (2.0%) work in manufacturing, and 14,901 people (9.6%) have other

livelihoods.

3.3 Regional Economy 3.3.1 Performance for the Period of 2006-2010 From 2006 to 2010, the economic performance of South Pesisir has improved, indicated by an

increase in gross domestic regional product (GDRP) from IDR 2,654.32 billion in 2006, to IDR

3,082.92 billion in 2007, to IDR 4,619.17 billion in 2010, an average increase of 5.45%, which is

similar with the overall West Sumatra provincial average of 5.51%1.

Of the total 2010 GDRP of IDR 4,619.17 billion, 35% was generated by the agriculture sector,

followed by the trade sector (21.5%), services (16.3%), manufacturing and processing industries

(12.9%), and construction (5.1%).

Based on the Mid-term Regional Development Plan of South Pesisir 2010-2015, the incidence of

poverty decreased from 43% (41,414 households) in 2006 to 25.6% (27,611 households) in 2010.

3.3.2 Development Targets for 2010-2015 From the base condition (2010), South Pesisir District has targeted the following development

achievements2:

Economic growth of 6.75% in 2014 and 7.09% in 2015 (from the baseline of 5.28% in 2010);

Human development index3 of 74.49 in 2014 and 74.60 in 2015 (from the baseline of 71.16 in

2010);

GDRP of IDR 14 million/person in 2014 and IDR 14.98 million/person in 2015 (from the

baseline of IDR 10.74 million in 2010);

Unemployment rate of 8.21% in 2014 and 2015 (from the baseline of 8.68% in 2010);

Poverty rate of 16-17% in 2015 (from the baseline of 25.6% in 2010); and

Number of disadvantaged regions/nagari of 26 in 2014 and 0 in 2015 (from the baseline of 87 in

2010).

3.3.3 Low-Emission Economic Development West Sumatra Province plans to develop a Provincial Strategic Action Plan (SRAP – Strategi Rencana

Aksi Propinsi) for the implementation of REDD+, following the Indonesian national commitment on

emissions reduction. South Pesisir, with a high percentage of forest cover and potential natural

resources to support district development, has a strategic role to play in meeting the provincial

target. At the time of implementation of this RDRA, a detailed SRAP had yet to be developed. A

The HDI is the geometric mean of normalized indices for each of the three dimensions (Human Development Report, UNDP, 2014).


3-3

workshop on the West Sumatra SRAP was held in Bogor, West Java on October 2013, where the

following low-emission development programs for West Sumatra were discussed:

The medium development plan of South Pesisir district 2010-2015 indicates the plan for

reducing carbon emission, by implementing reforestation, critical area rehabilitation, and

improvement of environmental quality. Although this objective is not yet quantified;

Furthermore, in the energy sector, the district has four achievements target, i.e.,:

– Energy diversification to ensure sustainable energy supply;

– Increasing the use of renewable energy and actively involve in global carbon market;

– Improving efficiency of energy consumption both for settlement and industry; and

– Production of economically clean energy.

Community-based forest management (community forest, customary forest, community timber

estate). South Pesisir has the potential to development Nagari forest. There are total of 76

nagaries in South Pesisir. One nagari, Pasir Pelangai, was appointed as Cacao Nagari Model in

2013 (Yusniar, 2013)4.

Because South Pesisir has high potential (due to extensive forest cover) to become involved in the

REDD+ program, and because the SRAP has already launched (although not finalized), the low-

emission development program in South Pesisir will be a strategic approach.

3.3.4 Renewable Natural Resources Management South Pesisir has promising renewable natural resources to support sustainable development.

Potential renewable natural resources in South Pesisir that may be important to the GPP are:

Renewable energy:

– Hydropower resources, several areas have the potential for micro-hydro power

development, including Pancung Tebal, Langgai, Nagari Kato Ranah (Richardo 2009), and

Mudiak Lagan, etc;

– Solar home systems applied in several sub districts, including: IV Nagari Bayang Utara,

Nagari Koto nan Tigo Utara, Nagari Koto nan Tigo Selatan, Sutera Sub District, Lunang Silaut,

Linggo Sari Bagan, etc;

Cacao and rubber plantation. Cacao and rubber are two primary commodities in the South

Pesisir District. South Pesisir has a total area of 2,150 ha for cacao plantation with the

production of 925 ton (2012). These numbers (total area and production) have increased by

12% per year since 2010. For rubber, South Pesisir has a total area of 8,050 ha with total

production of 5,400 ton5; and

Ecotourism. The landscape of South Pesisir has great potential for sustainable ecotourism

development, such as rafting, waterfall, and wilderness hiking. Several natural features have

One ‘nagari’ can consists of one or several villages. The area of ‘nagari’ is defined based on traditional/cultural boundary). There are total of 76 nagaries in South Pesisir. One nagari, Pasir Pelangai, was appointed as Cacao Nagari Model in 2013

2.3 Non-government actors affecting district development

NGOs and International Organizations are active and involved in the development of South Pesisir. WALHI (environmental and natural resources advocacy), National and International NGOs include KKI WARSI (related to strengthening Nagari for forest management), WWF (mostly related to Kerinci Seblat National Park), Islamic Relief (community economic development and disasters preparedness), universities in Padang and Jakarta, and private companies and their CSR foundation. Conservation International (CI) has ongoing activities related to illegal logging.

strengthening of Nagari by establishing Regional Regulation related to Nagari establishment. The objective of this policy is to enable more effective public services and to ensure all community members get the benefit of the development within South Pesisir district. Example of new nagari established recently are: Nagari Lubuk Betung Inderapura; Nagari Lalang Panjang Inderapura; Nagari Damar Lapan Batang Inderapura; Nagari Muara Inderapura;

2.5 Other donor funded/NGO on low-emission development (NRM RE)

There are few programs implemented by international donors, such as: UNDP baseline data collection and

cadastral mapping for REDD+ implementation in West Sumatra (include South Pesisir) (ongoing)

WWF RIMBA ecosystem program (national and provincial level) (ongoing)

UNESCO Strategic Environmental Assessment related to road development across the Kerinci Seblat National Park connecting South Solok with South Pesisir District (ongoing).

2.6 Public participation Public participation in South Pesisir is considered high and conducive to the GPP. The key factors of this success are active participation from government officers in working together with communities, and also selected programs that directly deal with important community-livelihood sectors. However, there are issues related to rapid generation of income through illegal logging and artisanal mining. Hunting and selling wildlife also occurs in South Pesisir. Illegal logging in South Pesisir district is considered high. Forest degradation in the Kerinci Seblat National Park within the administrative boundary of South Pesisir district was calculated the highest compare with other district areas (1,570 ha) (Rachmat, M and Hamdi, 2007).

Beside high participation from the community in development programs initiated by government or by external organizations, there remains potential risk of people to contribute to and participate in counter-productive activities such as illegal logging, artisanal mining, land clearing, and wildlife hunting and trading.

3. Regulatory Analysis 3.1 Regulatory

framework enabling GP Project Investment

South Pesisir district has regional regulation No. 23/2013 concerning delegation of services for investment and integrated permitting. This regulation is followed up by a Bupati Decree No. 570/365/Kpts/BPT-PS/2014 concerning SOP for investment and permitting processes in South Pesisir district.

This regulation and the SOP provides a clear guidelines for the process of new investment and permitting requirements in South Pesisir district.

Recently, the Bupati also released a regulation No. 18/2014 concerning SOP for public services. This regulation is released as a follow up of the Law No. 14/2008 concerning Information Openness.

However, they have good coordination with provincial agencies. Environmental safeguards (standards, guidelines) follow national/provincial regulations. Ministry of Health regulations are followed for human health safeguards. EIA regulation (Government Regulation 27/2012) includes human health assessment.

South Pesisir follows Provincial and National regulations/safeguards related to environment, social and human health for any development related to natural resources management and community livelihood. There are no local district regulations related to environmental and social standards. The environmental monitoring office also has not yet has the capacity to review and approve EIA for development.

3.3 PES (payment for environmental services)

Beside high potential for natural resource development that are also potential for initiation of payment for environmental services. Regarding renewable energy, there is a mechanism of payment for sustainable services and operation of hydropower facilities for nagari.

There are 67 biogas units operating in South Pesisir (2013) that are managed collectively by communities for sustainable financing.

There are 14 micro-hydro sites managed and operated by local communities, with total energy generation of 556 kW. This was developed and operated from 2006-2013 and was initially funded by central government, province and the PNPM program.

There are 5 units of photo-voltaic power plant (capacity of 250kW)

The implementation of PES in water resources through the operation of micro-hydropower is very good and has contributed to the village electricity program. Its real contribution to economic development has not yet studied, but a positive contribution to local economic development is highly likely. There are not just water and tourism resources that can be managed using the PES system; South Pesisir needs to advance the coverage of the PES to other natural resources available in the district.

3.4 Local government incentives for green investment

There are no specific incentives provided by the district government for any green investment or lower-emission development. This is because most developments are already categorized as green (forestry, plantation, hydropower, etc).


2. Interview with head and staff of Bappeda, staff and head of forestry, energy and mining agency, and staff from agriculture agency (28

3.5 Local government and community contribution to environment

From the above assessment related to NRM, transparency of policies, community participations, involvement of external organization, forest degradation and illegal logging, etc, it can be concluded that both local government and community has contributed to environmental sustainability. The spatial plan of South Pesisir indicates that the district government has a high commitment for sustainable development, promoting environmentally friendly development and low-emission development. However, the rate of illegal logging is still not low, and forest degradation in the Kerinci Seblat National Park within the area of South Pesisir district is the highest among other districts in and around National Park boundary.



3. District of South Pesisir Regulation No. 7/2011 concerning District Spatial Plan 2010-2030

It is concluded that beside the high commitment from both government of South Pesisir and community to the environment, at the same time environmental and forest degradation are still relatively high. Efforts from the government to improve awareness are critical. Supports from outside parties are also important to speedup the decrease of environmental threats.

4. Social and Gender 4.1 Status of gender

mainstreaming in the district

South Pesisir, as it is part of the Minangkabau ethnic group, is matrilineal and therefore it has allowed women to hold a relatively strategic position in the society compare to other patriarchal society. In the Minangs community, most property and other economic assets pass through female lines.

3. Ministry of women empowerment and child protection and the National Statistic Bureau. 2013. Gender based human development.


The traditional wisdom of Minangs related to women participation in the community is an advantage for any programs to be gender mainstreamed. Related to nagari government, research conducted by an expert from Andalas University concluded that the Nagari governance gives more opportunity for women to be involved in local economic development (Meiyanti and Syahrizal, 2005). Publication from the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (2013) stated that South Pesisir has a women participation index of 66.56 (average for West Sumatra is 70.11), women empowerment index of 48.30 (average for West Sumatra is 65.22), women as manager or

professional position of 57.69% (average for west Sumatra is 54.19%) and contribution of women to family income of 33.81% (average for west Sumatra is 35.55%).

4.2 Vulnerable community groups

Vulnerable groups in South Pesisir are primarily people who live in poverty, who constitute 11.11% of the total population. From interview with Bappeda and other government officer from several agencies, there is not suppression or marginalization of vulnerable groups in South Pesisir. Instead, government and Nagari try to improve their economic level out of poverty.




4. South Pesisir District in Figures 2013

Existence of vulnerable poor people in South Pesisir is a challenge to be targeted for reduction or alleviation. Government commitment for alleviate this vulnerable groups is high and this will be consistent with the mandate of the GPP.

4.3 Customary laws and its effect in district development

West Sumatra, including South Pesisir, has local traditional/customary laws that have been used from long in the past. The Minangkabau customary laws now is seen as local potential factor that can potentially used to strengthen economic development. Empowerment of Nagari in South Pesisir is one example on how important of local customary laws in the economic development in West Sumatra, including South Pesisir.





Existence of Minangkabau customary law, through the Nagari empowerment program, is very positive and could strengthen the development in South Pesisir and West Sumatra. These customary laws have rules related to land ownership and management, natural resources utilization, women participation, resolution of conflicts, etc, which are important to support any program in the district development.

5. Status of Requirements for Compact Conditions 5.1 Approved

RTRW/Spatial Plan South Pesisir has an approved Spatial Plan that has been used to plan and develop the district. It is regulated under the District Regulation No. 7/2011 concerning Spatial Plan of South Pesisir District 2010-2030.

Approval of the District Spatial Plan will provide certainty for the GPP in South Pesisir. However, a system to enforce the spatial plan and to anticipate any potential conflict needs to be further improved. A Spatial Plan Coordination Agency (BKPRD – Badan Koordiasi Perencanaan Ruang Daerah) exists through the issuance of the Bupati Decree No. 050/05/Kpts/BPT-PS/2011 and should become an important institution to ensure project compliance with the spatial plan.

facilitating the transparent process of procurement is also already in place. From the interview, Bappeda of South Pesisir stated their commitment to support GPP investment.


5.3 Demonstration to potential value added to district ability to support further intervention from the GP

South Pesisir is located in an interesting landscape from the mountainous in the north east to the lowland flat coastal-beach in the southwest of the district. The primary forests area are designated as Protected Forest and National Park (Kerinci Seblat National Park). WWF, in partnership with province government in Sumatra, and with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, has also delineated a RIMBA ecosystem, in which most of the mountainous area of South Pesisir are within the RIMBA ecosystem. WWF and other international and National organizations are very keen to support South Pesisir, and this become an important value added.


2. Presentation Ekspose Bupati Pesisir Selatan, Regional Potential for Green Prosperity in South Pesisir District, 20 October 2014


Ongoing and promising area for future integration with GP intervention: District government supports the development

of Nagari government and Nagari is the basis for natural resources management. This effort is in line with the GP approach. Additionally, hydropower is potential renewable energy development now and in the future.

Nagari system can strengthen any development program. One Nagari (Simancuang) is one of the best Nagari in West Sumatra and at is recognized at the national level.

Section 5 Conclusions and Recommendations

Based on prescribed RDRA criteria described in Section 4, South Pesisir scored 49 out of the possible

60 points. This is a very good score and indicates a commitment and readiness of South Pesisir to

receive GPP investment. The only aspect that received a minimum score of 1 was real incentives that

the local government can provide for green development. This is a potential area of intervention for

MCA-Indonesia in South Pesisir.

The South Pesisir government expressed their great interest in GPP investment, although they do

not have any specific area targeted for the GP project investment. From the secondary data and

interview with the agriculture, horticulture, husbandry and plantation agency, the following

commodities and potential sub districts could be used as initial plan for future GP project

investment:

Rubber plantation. Potential sub districts are: Lunang, Bayang, Silaut, Batang Kapas, and

Linggo Sari Baganti. Average production is 1,428 ton per year (2013);

Painan, capital city of South Pesisir.

3. 30 October 2014. Meetings

were conducted with:

Bappeda (Pak Harrison

and the head of Bappeda

of South Pesisir)

The Head of Economic

division at Bappeda

Meeting discussed the following agenda:

The mission of the Rapid DRA visit and overview of the

MCA-Indonesia Green Prosperity project and what next

after the Rapid DRA

Bappeda is very welcome with the program and will

provide necessary support to the MCA-Indonesia

(permitting, coordination and facilitation, data support)

South Pesisir district has just passed the requirement of no

longer as disadvantage district and is looking forward to

speed up the development program.

Bappeda, in coordination with relevant Agencies, has

initiated to prepare a policy/regulations that enable simple

and integrated licensing process and all are posted into the

web for public access.

South Pesisir has more complete natural resources, from

the mountain forest area, plantation, agriculture at the

lowland, and then coastal, beach and sea/marine resources.

Green Prosperity investment will only target land

investment (plantation, agro-forestry, hydropower, solar

cell power, land ecotourism). GP project investment will

not designed for agriculture product processing industry or

infrastructure facilities, but as the project name, only

focusing on green and low emission development.

30 October 2014. Meetings

were conducted with:

The Head of Forestry,

Energy and Mineral

Resources Agency and

the team

Discussion addressed the following items:

South Pesisir has intensively identified available resources

potential for renewable energy (hydropower). Assessment

on other potential will be continued as a regular program of

the Agency;

Permit for micro-hydro, mini-hydro, and geothermal has

made into public and everybody can have an access to it

and apply for a permit.

The district government has some areas that have not yet

had the electricity and will become priority for this year and

future program. Those are remote and dispersed

communities who live quite far from the PLN grid. Issues in

some of those remote areas can be addressed by expanding

the grid, but few areas are potential for micro-hydro power

and photo-voltaic power development.

The Agency regularly check the operations of micro-hydro

and mini-hydro to identify any issues and to ensure that

electricity supply to the remote areas will not be disturbed.

South Pesisir has potential for mining development. Several

important mining deposits include: coal, gold, gemstone,

and sand. As per 2013, there are a total of 30 licenses have

been granted for ten different type of mining.

Artisanal mining operations also occur in South Pesisir

district. It spreads across the northern highland of the

district, where potential deposits of mineral are located.

Discussion with Agriculture, Horticulture, Husbandry and

Plantation Agency:

South Pesisir has potential resources to be developed for

many commodities, including palm oil, rubber, cacao,

coconut, cinnamon, coffee, and gambir. The prime

commodities include gambir, cacao and rubber. It was

described that the MCA-Indonesia GP grant program will

not allow for palm oil plantation. The grant will also not

allowed for construction of agriculture product (e.g.,

gambir, rubber, etc)

Gambir is very popular and South Pesisir is one major

supplier in West Sumatera. All gambir production are

mostly exported and farmers have only small value added.

Most of value additions are taken by outside broker (ostly

from India and China, the export destination.

Cacao plantation was started to became more popular when

the government distribute free seeds/seedlings to

community. There has no technical assistance provided to

ensure high production of cacao. All are from self-learning

of farmers and knowledge exchange with other farmers

from other districts.

The grant money from MCA-Indonesia cannot be used for

government program, but more to support and encourage

local business entities. Local community groups, NGOs, or

local small and medium enterprises. Government will

facilitate and provide support to these private sector

development.
