Financial analysis of coffee from agroforest managed by women farmers group in Tanggamus Lampung

24.7 million hectares of Forest areas are not covered with forest, and the community limits its management because it is prohibited by law. However, the forestry sector only contributes 0.6% of Indonesia’s GDP. Therefore, IPB University collaborates with ASTRA International to develop a productive carbon forest in Garut Regency. Agroforestry uses highly economic forest commodities. This program was very well received by the community there. Around 52.86 hectares of tea gardens and other plantations became productive carbon forests and are expected to be fruitful and profitable three years later. It planted 13,082 avocado trees, 71,070 coffee trees, and 8,270 hardwood trees. Assistance was carried out from the beginning of the program about six months ago and will continue until the fruit harvesting. This program is expected to continue for 20 years and give a profit of around IDR 596,567,022 (USD 3,9846) /hectare/year. It is anticipated that this undertaking will serve as a pilot project for improving the social forest in Indonesia and could increase both the ecology and community welfare. Nevertheless, this productive carbon forest is expected to succeed in Indonesia’s FoLU (Forest and Other Land Use) Net Sink 2030 and Indonesia’s domestic carbon market, established at the end of September 2023.

et al. 2024

Sunflower seed is one of the most widely traded products in the world, with total trade amounting to 20.36 million metric tons of total vegetable oil production in 2023. Sunflower seed is usually used as a material for cooking oil and food products, biofuel, cosmetics, and other derivates. Due to climate change and the fossil fuel energy crisis in Europe, the need for vegetable oil has increased; one is sunflower oil. Therefore, this research aims to identify the global sunflower market from its largest producing countries. This study uses primer data from interviews in some of the largest producer countries: the Netherlands, Romania, and Poland. Secondary data was also obtained from export data for sunflower-exporting countries worldwide from 2020 to 2021. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) matrix is used for the data analysis to assess the performance of sunflower products in various major exporting countries worldwide. The results of this study show that Romania took the star position with the highest sunflower seed export, around 19.8% of the total economic value of 4.74 billion USD. Ukraine took the cash cow position in sunflower oil, and Turkiye took the cash cow position in the refined sunflower oil market. These positions indicate the dominance of the global market.

Palm oil is the world’s most widely traded vegetable oil, with total trade amounting to 77.22 million metric tons of total vegetable oil production in 2023. Palm oil is usually used as the material of cooking oil and food products, biofuel, cosmetics, and other derivates. Pakistan imported $3.36B in Palm Oil, becoming the third largest importer of Palm Oil in the world. However, palm oil has faced deforestation in the last few years. To solve that, the palm oil plantation must be sustainably certified (RSPO), and the impact will increase the palm oil price. Therefore, this research aims to explore Pakistan’s sustainable cooking oil consumption patterns. This research uses purposive sampling from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and geographical locations within Pakistan. The total respondents are 52 respondents from Punjab, Pakistan. The data analysis uses descriptive statistical analysis. The results show that palm oil was the most used cooking oil (68%), followed by sunflower (22%). Over half of the participants (56%) were willing to pay a premium for environmentally friendly cooking oils. Most participants (84%) were familiar with sustainable certification labels like RSPO, and most participants (82%) believed that adopting sustainable palm oil production practices could alleviate environmental and ethical concerns.
