Overview
This project aimed to provide key Indonesian government agencies with a high-level (5-10 year) ‘roadmap’ of high-impact initiatives and policies they could implement to maximise impact of digital agtech in agricultural value chains, providing a clear view of what to do, who to target or engage, and how to do so with highest likelihood of success.
The agricultural research and innovation ecosystem in Indonesia is undergoing massive change, embodied by the newly-established National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and its consolidation of all key agricultural research agencies. Aligned to this restructure, Bappenas has committed significant investment to strengthen the agricultural innovation and delivery system to enable agricultural transformation. This analysis will help the Indonesian Government sharpen its focus on actions which will drive impactful deployment and advancement of digital agtech, with a mind to the challenges and opportunities specific to smallholder farms, agribusinesses, and entrepreneurs (among others) across the country.
