| Summary: | This background paper aims to provide an
assessment of the issues and options in promoting digital
agriculture in Indonesia, within the broader technology
landscape of the country, with the primary aim of informing
the design of the proposed World Bank investment project.
The study considers global best practices as well as the
status of Indonesia in product traceability, e-commerce,
agriculture fintech service providers, weather index
insurance providers, and precision farming technology
providers. Although digital agriculture is cross-cutting
across all commodities, the focus was on the horticulture
and small ruminant value chains as those were identified as
priority commodity categories by the Ministry of
Agriculture. The study also offers high-level
recommendations for policymakers on reforms and programs
that can accelerate the adoption of digital agriculture. In
the first section, the national context and the importance
of ICT technology in agriculture are summarized. Section two
presents the current landscape of digital agriculture in
Indonesia, followed by section three that suggests key areas
where ICT can play a role in agriculture, based on global
experience. As scaling up the digitization of the
agriculture sector involves a complex set of policy,
investment, innovation, and capacity-building measures,
several high-level recommendations are provided for
policymakers and practitioners in the fourth and last section. |
