摘要

'Supply-chain management' means very little to most smallholders — they are concerned with managing their farms, saving sufficient for their own needs and selling any surplus for the best price they can get. Their contact with 'markets' is often limited to dealing with a produce collector, or to sales at the local 'fresh market'. Limited contact with markets probably means that growers have little awareness of product suitability, quality or choice of crop. While crop choice is often dictated by what other local growers find profitable, crops in demand can quickly become 'surplus to requirements'. In the case of cocoa, however, global demand is strong at present, and growers in Asia can earn good incomes from the crop. Cocoa is a crop of the developing world, while chocolate is largely consumed in the developed world. In Indonesia, a large smallholder cocoa industry has developed in Sulawesi over the past 20 years, while in Papua New Guinea (PNG) there has also been a major shift from plantation to smallholder production. Cocoa has been a good source of income to smallholder farmers for meeting financial commitments such as school fees in these countries, but this may not be assured in the longer term. As communities continue to develop, greater focus on 'linking farmers with markets' might be the key to sustainable income generation from cocoa. This paper describes some characteristics of the cocoa industries in Indonesia and PNG, discusses the key issues for sustainability of their industries, and describes research and development initiatives that aim to improve smallholder incomes.
