Project Impact GAP Adoption

We did intensive knowledge transfer activity to the farmers during our project period.

We saw that there are farmer’s skill improvements after they receive new knowledge about Good Agriculture Practices.

High quality seeds selection, plant spacing, trellis installation, land preparation and water management were the top 5 GAP that adopted by the farmers in Eastern Indonesia. We gave advice to the farmers to use the GAP, based on the plant needs, and pesticide regulation.

YIELD INCREASE (%)

Choisum, bittergourd, and tomato have significant yield increment (more than 100%) it can happened because those crops were planted with GAP, and in the right season.

MONTHLY ADDITIONAL INCOME %

Based on demoplots with key farmers in Papua (Biak, Nabire), North Mollucas (Kao Barat,Malifut, Kao Teluk) and Mollucas (Central Mollucas) farmers got additional household income contribution from vegetable farming; 22 up to 65 % to their average monthly income.
The vegetable farming in Eastern of Indonesia is a potential business to support the household income, and absolutely as a main income as well. If the farmers applied GAP, they will get the better yield and income, because the farmers often got a good price in Eastern Indonesia market area.
FARMERS GROUP AND VILLAGE SATISFACTION IN NHM AREA
Malifut subdistrict has the highest village acceptance and farmers response on ToF and for next sustainable program. Farmers in Kao Barat show most enthusiasm to join horticultural development programs from YBTS and NHM. In Kao Teluk, we need to conduct more extension program and discussion with village and subdistrict leaders to make more interesting programs for farmers.
