The mission's field work was confined mainly to the Bank group assisted irrigation rehabilitation projects in Java. The mission recommends action in the fields of (i) agricultural techniques and reduction of losses; (ii) irrigation rehabilitation and on-farm development; and (iii) new irrigation schemes and improved infra-structure. (ii) Indonesia's economy has grown rapidly since 1968, but agriculture's share in the economy has declined. It accounted for 50% of GDP in 1968 and about 43% in 1973. Agricultural output grew at about 4% over that period, but the rest of the economy grew more rapidly. From 1968 to 1973 paddy pro- duction increased more rapidly than total agricultural output, increasing by about 4.2% per annum. Rice imports, however, are still substantial, varying between 0.5 and 1.5 million tons in recent years due in part to adverse weather conditions and stock building. (iii) Three broad strategies are available to meet this deficit: (i) al- lowing imports to increase, which may be feasible from a balance of payments point of view but may be unacceptable because of a lack of secure sources of supply; (ii) stimulating domestic supply by making further improvements and developments to physical infrastructure, mainly in irrigation, and expanding improved agricultural technology, through strengthened agricultural support- ing services; and (iii) expanding paddy hectarage in the Outer Islands. Crop insurance is not considered a feasible alternative for expanding paddy output. This report deals mainly with the second strategy. (iv) Some 56% of the area harvested for paddy is on Java and Bali and about 60% of this area is irrigated. The standard of irrigation, however, varies considerably and only 1.2 million ha (out of a total paddy area of 4.7 million ha on Java and Bali) has fully-controlled and permanent irrigation systems, and about 1.0 million of this area is now undergoing rehabilitation. For the whole country about 1.5 million ha (with a total of 8.3 ha harvested for paddy) has fully-controlled irrigation. In the wet season, supplementary irrigation is necessary if high yields are to be obtained. In the dry season, no cropping is possible without irrigation. (v) Despite delays, physical progress in implementing the five Bank group assisted projects is fairl-y-sitisfactory, exept_for=tertiry and - quaternary development. Operatioff 1-if hance is beginning to be put o-Fasound-organizational and financial footing but further efforts are needed in providing adequate funds, equipment and staff training. Other technical problems include insufficient drainage, soil conservation and rural roads. It is difficult to evaluate the agricultural progress-ofShe projects due toaolawever, aedaa Ht ons are that - ii - yields are increasing roughly in line with appraisal estimates. The number -of extension workers is still inadequate. There is a pressing need for - regular farm income surveys byani-impartial body. A reassessment of the economic rate of return of one of the projects, the Jatiluhur Rehabilitation Project, showed that project justification has not been seriously impaired by cost increases and delays, since the price of rice has also increased enormously since appraisal.
