Agriculture is an important sector in Indonesia. It contributes approximately 14% of the nation’s GDP, employs one-third of Indonesia’s labor force, and is dominated by smallholder farmers (93%). The sector is central to Indonesia’s capacity to nourish its growing and increasingly urbanized population with evolving food preferences. By 2050, the Indonesian population is expected to exceed 320 million, which means sufficient production and a robust logistics system are essential.
Supported by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia and West Java Provincial Government, World Bank and the ten partners launched the inaugural Data Hackathon called “Cultivhacktion” on September 24, 2021. In this hackathon, innovators were invited to develop solutions covering three areas: 1) improving agricultural productivity and resilience to shocks, including climate shocks, 2) expanding farmers’ access to inputs, markets, and finance. And 3) supporting data-driven public sector decision-making. The top three digital solutions were announced at the closing ceremony held on November 10, 2021. They are Neurafarm, Teman Pasar, and PemPem.
In this webinar, we will hear from the three winning teams of Cultivhacktion about the solutions they have developed to address the problem statements. The Government of Indonesia would also share their learnings and their vision in harnessing the potential of digital technology to transform the agricultural sector in Indonesia.
