Project Name：One Village, One Product Agribusiness Project (Indonesia)

Project status：Completed projects

Cooperating Country：Asia-Pacific, Indonesia

Project Description：

Bangli and Badung counties in the Indonesian province of Bali lack the overall planning capacity necessary for the development of unique local industries, and local farmers’ techniques are insufficient to produce crops that would support the development of large-scale agricultural production. This One Village, One Product Agribusiness Project will enhance local farmers agricultural production techniques and introduce OVOP concepts suited to the development of Badung and Bangli counties so as to assist in and promote the development of unique local industries.

Bangli and Badung are at different levels in terms of the development of unique local industries. Large-scale production of citrus fruits is under way in Bangli, and the county only lacks for capacity in food processing, packaging design and marketing; in this case, OVOP concepts can be applied to the project directly. Large-scale crop production is not present in Bandung, and therefore activities need to start with improvements to farmers’ cultivation techniques. OVOP concepts will not be introduced until production has been scaled up to a certain degree.

Overall, the project will:

1. Provide guidance to citrus production and marketing groups and introduce concepts associated with the development of unique local industries.
2. Establish citrus cultivation and management technologies and farming systems and data.
3. Build project implementation capacity among units and personnel in Bangli.
4. Develop citrus products and integrate local culture into the design of product packaging.
5. Establish technical information relating to asparagus cultivation, and management techniques and farming systems for other vegetables.
6. Provide guidance to production and marketing groups for asparagus and other vegetables, and introduce concepts associated with the development of unique local industries.
7. Build project implementation capacity among units and personnel in Badung.
