“…Contract farming in South Africa has been analyzed for small-scale farmers in traditional value chains such as tea, sugarcane, timber, tobacco, flowers and beverages (Kirsten and Sartorius, 2002b). These schemes appear however to be more the result of specific initiatives of large estate actors during apartheid and the pre-liberalization period, than what McMichael and Myhre (1991) call the "restructuring of agrifood markets".…”

“…Other literature indicates that small farmers are left behind in the supermarket-driven horticultural marketing channel (Kirsten & Sartorius 2002, Reardon et al 2003. Contract farming has often been criticized as a tool for agriindustrial firms and food multinationals to exploit unequal farmers with power relationships and extract rents from the chain.…”

Although Shaanxi province is the largest in China, both in terms of apple production and cultivated areas, with local farmers' income mainly sourced from apples, the per-capita net income of farmers in Shaanxi province remains behind the national average. Since the market channel choice of farmers could be perceived as one of the available income strategies, this paper provides empirical evidence to measure the impacts of market channel choice on farmers' income using a Heckman sample selection model and an OLS model based on a farm household survey of 243 apple farmers in Baishui and Luochuan counties of Shaanxi province, China. Moreover, this paper discusses the different impacts of market channel choice on household income among farmers who are cooperative members and those who are not.

“…Dalam situasi seperti itu, pengembangan industri tepung dan tepung komposit di perdesaan mempunyai dampak pengganda yakni memanfaatkan hasil pertanian di satu sisi dan memperkuat ketersediaan pangan di sisi yang lain. Pemerintah Cina telah mengembangkan pola usaha industri di perdesaan (Rural Industrial Enterprises/TVEs) menjadi penggerak utama pertumbuhan ekonomi yang menghasilkan lebih dari separuh output nasional dan merupakan tiga perempat dari UKM (ADB, 2000;Kirsten and Sartorius, 2002). Keberhasilan pengembangan industri tepung berbasis komoditas lokal di Indonesia tergantung pada ketersediaan bahan baku, kualitas, dan kontinyuitas pasokan bahan baku, dan kapasitas pabrik.…”

Total Indonesian population of 250 million people leads to some crucial problems in provision and management of staple food. Main sources of staple food are cereal, mainly rice. Another important source of carbohydrate is imported wheat flour and it discourages national food security. Meanwhile, as a tropical country, Indonesia has many sources of carbohydrates (food crops) such as tuber crops (cassava, sweet potatoes), cereals (corn), and palm (sago) potentially replace partially or entirely the consumption of rice and wheat flour. This paper discusses the food politics within the perspective of food security based on composite flours as substitution or replacement of wheat flour. Natural growth of local commodity based on flour industry is very slow and it needs some efforts and policies on its acceleration. It suggests some policy recommendations on how to strengthen and accelerate composite flour industries. Required policy includes assistance, value-added tax relief, and promotion. Valueadded tax paid by the government is considered as an incentive to wheat importers and flour industry to develop composite flour. Keywords: food politics, local food products, composite flour, food security ABSTRAKPenduduk Indonesia saat ini lebih dari 250 juta jiwa menimbulkan banyak permasalahan pada pangan pokok sehingga perlu mendapatkan perhatian serius. Pangan pokok sumber karbohidrat yang banyak dikonsumsi adalah beras dan terigu. Sebagai sumber karbohidrat penting, terigu bukan produksi lokal yang membawa persoalan ketahanan pangan dan menguras devisa negara. Indonesia memiliki beragam sumber karbohidrat lainnya, baik dari serealia, umbi-umbian, maupun palma yang belum dimanfaatkan. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk mengkaji pentingnya politik pangan berbasis industri tepung komposit dalam rangka mendukung ketahanan pangan nasional. Pertumbuhan industri tepung secara alamiah tidak dapat diharapkan terjadi dengan cepat dan berkontribusi nyata terhadap ketahanan pangan. Produksi dan perdagangan terigu telah menjadi bagian dari sistem pangan, industri, dan ekonomi nasional sehingga pengendalian yang tidak cermat dapat menimbulkan gejolak sosial dan ekonomi. Membiarkan berjalan tanpa kendali dapat menimbulkan kesulitan pangan dimasa mendatang, sebaliknya mengatur secara ketat menimbulkan persoalan sosial dan ekonomi terkait kesempatan kerja. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kebijakan komprehensif yang mendorong perkembangan industri tepung komposit. Penyelarasan antara pertumbuhan konsumsi tepung dengan pemanfaatan bahan pangan lokal melalui pengembangan tepung komposit perlu diatur dengan kebijakan komprehensif yang kondusif. Kebijakan yang diperlukan meliputi pendampingan, keringanan, dan promosi. Kebijakan Pajak Pertambahan Nilai ditanggung pemerintah dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai salah satu upaya mendorong importir gandum dan industri terigu untuk mengembangkan tepung komposit.
