Travel Tips
indonesia is practically a very fertile country for agricultural industry. some problems is mostly human related..
1. Fertilizer,.. govt have been trying to supply enough fertilizer to the agriculturer and farmer. however, you never know what games are they playing out there,... they may rip off the package and stuffed it with soil or whatever just to make more money for their private use...and up until now, the supply cannot meet the demand in most places bring the price sky high. this will later on effect the crop yield, which may not be efficient. again, low crop means high price, which make them becoming less competitive. for example sugar mill, the sugar they produce costs more than imported sugar from India and Thailand. as a result, even when sugar import is being banned, there's always a backdoor to push it in.
2. efficiency. Indonesia have a vast bank land for agricultural purpose, .. yet, malaysia taken over indonesia as number one in terms of CPO (crude palm oil), altho indonesia is poised to take the title back very soon in the near future. many plantation in indonesia is mismanaged resulting a lower per hectare yield for the crops.
3. Financing,... Banks in indonesia doesnt very much support the Small and Mid size credit. only about 10% of Credit loan is given to the farmer and agriculturer and the rest is given to large industries in big cities. altho agri counts for more than 40% of the GDP and more than 60% of involved workers. the lack is due to the inability of low-class sociaty unable to provide a warrant asset while applying for loan

Others
1. import commodity from other country with a low price so people tend to buy it than local commodity
2. high price of fertilizer
3. lack of concern from government in developing local agriculture particularly the technology to help local farmer as the focus change to financial sector or industry
Hi
Just to add the above answers,
- many farmer are temped to go to big city to earn something, instead of maximizing their land. on the other hand, the youngster prefer to stay in the city after some education
- no support from government to enhance the argriculture industry. i.e. no budget to examine whats the best way to multiply the output, or develop better packaging for the product to increase export
