Opportunities and Strategies for the Blue Economy Through the Empowerment of Sumatera Coastal Communities in Supporting the Realization of the National Food Security

Abstract A strategic step on food security was directed by president to the Ministry of Defence. Coastal communities are key actors in the realization of the blue economy and are the determinants of the successful implementation of Indonesia’s policy to becoming the Global Maritime Fulcrum. There are ten provinces on Sumatera which have marine coastal areas with abundant fishery potential. However, that potential has not been fully utilized. This article aims to review opportunities and strategies in realizing the blue economy by empowering coastal communities in the Sumatra. The method was a qualitative exploratory method with SWOT and combined with SSM analysis. The data sources were obtained through secondary data from literature studies, comparisons through multi institutions data. The study found that community empowerment can be done by considering the potential of fishery resources and the community’s interest in managing the fisheries sub-sector. The development of national food barns should be focused on the Blue Economy sector and can be started through the Sumatra region. Stakeholder synergy can be integrated in fostering, supervising and mobilizing coastal communities in supporting their welfare.

This study described the process of making milkfish satay which generally could be only for three days. Several trials were conducted for examining the level of expired milkfish satay and the result showed that milkfish satay could be for one week and one month even in cold temperatures (chiller/ freezers), it could be for three months. Because the resilience of this milkfish satay had been tested, this would certainly have positive impact on the producers. Besides, Indonesian Council of Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI)) halal certification on some products was also considered very important because it would give confidence for people who would consume milkfish satay. The problem was there were some milkfish entrepreneurs who did not register their product, so they didn’t have halal certification. Besides, some milkfish satay entrepreneurs who had halal certification did not update it. The result of this study indicated that some milkfish satay entrepreneurs did not register their product. Therefore, they did not have halal certification from Indonesian Council of Ulama (Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI)). In addition, some milkfish satay entrepreneurs who had halal certification did not update it due to various reasons. Furthermore, this study was a qualitative and analytical descriptive study and it used primary and secondary data sources. Data sources were obtained from library and interviews with the milkfish satay entrepreneurs.

Using Data

Impacts of sea level rise in Bangladesh were assessed using data from secondary sources. The review study reveals that one meter sea level rise will affect the vast coastal areas and flood plain zone of Bangladesh. Both livelihood options of coastal communities and the natural environment of the coastal areas will be affected by the anticipated sea level rise, which will also affect food security of the country. The ecosystem of the Sundarban mangrove forest will be totally lost with one meter rise in sea level. An integrated combined effort of Bangladesh Government, local people and International communities and stakeholders are indispensable for the survival of the coastal communities and ecosystem of southern areas of Bangladesh.J.

In order to maintain food security, it is wiser if the food priority is not limited to rice, but also encourages product diversity of local food-based such as maize, cassava, sweet potato, breadfruit, taro, and banana. The problems of utilizing banana potential in Bogor District are low production due to land use change, plant function change, some farmers have perception of bananas as a second class plant, Fusarium wilt disease, limited use of bananas as fresh fruit and small industrial processed products (such as chips, sale, molen), and production has not been able to fulfill market demand and consequently, export market opportunities have not been utilized. This study describes the extent to which large potential of banana can be used optimally by using defense economics, demand-supply, and food security theory. Primary data sources were obtained from interviews with informant from Local Government, farmers and banana traders in Bogor District, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Trade. Secondary data sources include both from Ministry, Distanhorti, Disdagin, BPS, journals, and electronic media. Validation data by triangulation and data analysis of Miles-Huberman. The results show that bananas have great potential to be developed in Bogor District but its utilization is not optimal. This is due to several factors including application of inappropriate cultivation techniques with SOP, limited large-scale land, land conversion, without large company partnerships. Therefore, it is necessary to build partnerships with large private companies, synergies and coordination between stakeholders in order to increase bananas potential as trade commodity, hence can fulfill market demand. In the end it will improve economic security as one of the main focuses of the defense economy.Keywords: Banana, Defense Economy, Demand, Food Security, Potential

Oman’s fish exports have shown an increasing trend while supplies to the domestic market have declined, despite increased domestic demand caused by population growth and income. This study hypothesized that declining fish supplies to domestic markets were due to inefficiency of the transport function of the fish marketing system in Oman. The hypothesis was tested by comparing the observed prices of several fish species at several markets with optimal prices. The optimal prices were estimated by the dual of a fish transport cost- minimizing linear programming model. Primary data on market prices and transportation costs and quantities transported were gathered through a survey of a sample of fish transporters. The quantity demanded at market sites was estimated using secondary data. The analysis indicated that the differences between the observed prices and the estimated optimal prices were not significantly different showing that the transport function of fish markets in Oman is efficient. This implies that the increasing trend of fish exports vis-à-vis the decreasing trend of supplies to domestic markets is rational and will continue. This may not be considered to be equitable but it is efficient and may have long-term implications for national food security and have an adverse impact on the nutritional and health status of the rural poor population. Policy makers may have to recognize the trade off between the efficiency and equity implications of the fish markets in Oman and make policy decisions accordingly in order to ensure national food security.

National Food Security

Purpose – National Food Security Act 2013 (NFSA) is a unique step taken by Indian government to fight against hunger and protect right of the people for food. With its peculiarities like the life cycle approach, women empowerment, consideration of vulnerable sections in society and proposed reforms in public distribution system (PDS), NFSA is a promising effort for food security in India. The purpose of this paper is to put forth various aspects of NFSA and to identify issues and challenges for its implementation in the light of Indian PDS. Design/methodology/approach – Understanding the implications of NFSA, mapping the existing system of foodgrains distribution in India and analysing existing literature and secondary data available from assorted sources are the steps followed in this endeavour. Findings – Limited resources and exponentially increasing population, lack of infrastructure, operational inefficiencies and poor performance of the PDS are the major hurdles in successful implementation of the proposed act. This study gives emphasis on the need of major reforms in procurement, storage, movement and distribution of foodgrains strategies. Research limitations/implications – This paper focusses mainly on the operational and strategic aspects of PDS and its implications on NFSA. There is a wide scope for future research on sustainability of the act through agricultural and biotechnological innovations, financial analysis and strategic aspects. Originality/value – This study is an unique attempt of mapping and auditing of the entire complex value chain of the Indian PDS for implementation of NFSA. As NFSA is going to redefine the food security aspects, this pioneering work will be useful for researchers and policy makers working in this field in India and other developing countries.
