Financial Assessment of Smallholder Natural Rubber Production in Indonesia: Complete Study

Replanting high-quality rubber trees and improving planting and tapping practices have potential to increase yields and smallholders’ incomes, as well as maintain existing rubber plantations, jungle rubber plots. However long-term appropriate financing for replanting is rarely available for Indonesian smallholders, leading to an aging tree population and declining rubber yield. The main objective of this study is to gather and analyze financial data of smallholder rubber farms to assess whether it is possible to create a financial mechanism to provide smallholders loans to replant rubber trees and, if so, what the features of the financial product should be. The study is based on desk review, government data, and field data collected in September-October 2019 from 250 smallholders, stakeholders and value chain actors in Jambi, South Sumatra, and West Kalimantan. The study analyzed cash flows of replanting and intercropping models. Using industry and field survey data, the model projects smallholder monthly costs of replanting, maintenance and harvesting, as well as yields, while estimating rubber prices to calculate net incomes for farmers over a rubber tree’s economic lifespan.

Study findings led to a proposal to create a facility combining a financing mechanism to channel blended finance to smallholders through local financial institutions with technical assistance to improve smallholders’ yield and income.

Assessment of GHG Assessment Tools for AFOLU Projects

While many carbon assessment tools are available, each tool has been developed to serve a specific purpose. There is little consensus on the most suitable tool, including in the agriculture forestry and other land uses (AFOLU) sector. We surveyed the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) measurement marketplace to find the most appropriate tool for AFOLU companies and investors, which they can adopt and manage, and present our findings in the attached full report. Executive summary available below.
