摘要

This paper presents an overview of policy issues affecting the agricultural sector and indicates a number of cash crops, such as coffee and sandalwood that need to be developed in the years ahead. For years, domestic policies, including East Timor's agricultural transformation, were guided by a set of economic objectives. Current East Timor agricultural, trade and environmental policies, and exploitation of natural resources have been questioned in relation to their economic viability and their impacts on sustainable rural development, efficient trade and degradation of the environment. The economy of East Timor is dominated by the agricultural sector which contributes about one-third of GDP and employs about 80% of the working population for production for consumption and trade. Given the strong link between the growth of the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, it is important that adequate resources in East Timor are channelled into the agricultural sector to get the economy moving. Policy challenges to get agriculture moving again include agricultural extension services; openness to international markets in view of current external developments and investments in physical infrastructure. While markets remain poorly developed there is a case for a more interventionist regime. However, it is not obvious that East Timor will have either the resources or the capacity to manage such a regime. Under the current, very tight, fiscal regime the agricultural extension service has been trimmed severely. In these circumstances the key will be to work with local institutions and communities. Much of the required extension services need not be capital-intensive — better mulching, improved coffee pruning, local irrigation systems and basic road maintenance can all be developed through local community organisations, combined with judicious extension inputs.
