We hope this research will benefit the local government of Nusa Tenggara Timur in its efforts to encourage soybean development. Kupang, December 2002 Wiendiyati Team Leader 3 SUMMARY Ngada Regency is an area in East Nusa Tenggara Province where soybeans are grown during the dry season. Typically, soybeans follow paddy and are produced with a minimum of tillage. After the rice residue is cleared, seeds are simply dropped into a hole made with a sharp stick. Red beans, grown during the same season, are a food staple often grown as an alternative to soybeans. Because the rising demand for soybeans in Indonesia has increased the country’s reliance on imported beans, proposals have been made to stimulate domestic production by introducing a soybean tariff. In this study, a policy analysis matrix (PAM) is computed to analyze the desirability of such an intervention in the Ngada area. The data required to calculate private and social profitability were obtained from a survey of farmers in the area and from secondary sources such as CASER. The analysis of the PAM shows that soybeans are both privately and socially profitable. According to the calculations, farmers have a strong economic incentive to produce soybeans and soybeans have a significant competitive advantage over the alternative, red beans. Soybeans are also profitable socially indicating that Ngada Regency has a comparative advantage in producing soybeans as opposed to red beans. Producing soybeans is an efficient use of the Regency’s agricultural resources. The positive evidence on profitability indicates that introducing a tariff on soybeans would be undesirable and result in a distortion of incentives in the agricultural sector. 4 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background In 2001, the demand for soybean in East Nusa Tenggara province was 4,973 tons. It is expected to increase in the coming years due to people’s awareness of soybeans’ nutritional advantages. (Soybean is used for tofu and tempe production for the local market.) The domestic supply in 2001 was less than 3,200 tons. Thirty-nine percent of the demand was fulfilled through inter-island imports from Surabaya. The biggest demand for soybean in this province is from Kupang City on Timor Island. Assimilation with Chinese and Javanese has made the local people that live in the provincial capital more aware of soybean nutrition. By 1997, farmers in Kupang district had developed soybean farming with good yields (900–1200 kg/ha). But today many of those soybean farmers have switched to other crops. To fulfill the demand for soybean in Kupang, soybean distributors import soybean from Ngada by using inter-island transportation from Flores. The cost of transportation is highly affected by the fuel price. Fuel in Indonesia is subsidized, and the central government has gradually decreased the subsidy for fuel. As fuel prices increase, transportation costs also increase. Since August 2002, the Government of Indonesia (through the Ministry of Transportation) has increased shipping costs by 17%-50%. This increase has affected the prices of goods that are transported between islands, including soybean from Surabaya to Kupang and from Ngada to Kupang. Currently, there is no tariff on imported soybean. But the government of Indonesia (through the Ministry of Industries and Trade) has announced plans to impose tariffs on food and horticulture products, including soybean. Based on importers’ information, the tariff for imported soybean would be low and would likely be in the 2% - 6% range. These government policies – inter-island transportation costs and increased import tariffs – will influence the profitability of soybean production in Ngada. Both higher inter- island transport cost and a non-zero tariff would improve private profitability (competitiveness). Higher inter-island transport charges would increase social profits (comparative advantage), while tariffs would not affect social profits. There are several reasons to think that there is a potential for increasing soybean production in East Nusa Tenggara: (1) East Nusa Tenggara has unused dry land (29,096 ha) that is good for soybean cultivation from a climate and soils point of view. (2) Farmers in several parts of East Nusa Tenggara have considerable experience with soybean production. (3) According to tofu and tempe producers, local cultivated soybean is stickier than the imported soybean that comes through Surabaya. (Direct importation from foreign countries to Kupang is not possible because the port in Kupang is not suitable for international shipping.) 5 1.2. Description of the Research Site Ngada Regency in Flores is the main soybean producing area in East Nusa Tenggara. Data on the area’s soybean production for the period 1994-2001 are presented in Table 1.1. The wide variation in hectares harvested, yields, and production is caused by high variation in seed availability and rainfall intensity. The largest area harvested occurred in 1998. Highest yields were attained in 2001. There is no significant trend in acreage or yields. Table 1.1.

FKIP UHAMKA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Indonesia's ethnic diversity has become a world-recognized identity. There are more than 750 ethnic groups throughout Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke. Every ethnic group has its character and is also an image of a proud cultural system. The Lio ethnic group is one of the ethnic groups on the island of Flores with their traditional ties and values of local wisdom that enrich Indonesia's diversity. One of its values include the local leadership known as Mosalaki. In Sikka Regency, the status of a Mosalaki in the Lio ethnic group is still the central point of the social structure. The Mosalaki are prominent figures in terms of their origins, authority and charisma that are not shared by society in general. In various traditional ceremonial procedures, the Mosalaki have an essential role to play, such as deciding the planting season, land management procedures, marriage procedures, and procedures for preserving and ensuring the wellbeing of people, contact behaviour, the belief system embraced even in the realm of modern politics today. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach as developed by Spradley. The results of the study describe that the role of a Mosalaki is still the focal point of all activities in the Lio ethnic, especially in the modern world today.

  • In Informal Preferencing in Civil Service: Cases from Kupang, Eastern Indonesia
    Jo urnal of Asia Pacific Studies ( 2010 ) V ol 1, No 3, 545 -569 Problematizing ‘Ethnicity’ in Informal Preferencing in Civil Service: Cases from Kupang, Eastern Indonesia Sylvia Tidey, University of Amsterdam Abstract In an increasingly interconnected, globalized, world a paradoxical preoccupation with ‘belonging’ draws scholarly attention. This concern with belonging has most dramatically come to the fore in post-Suharto Indonesia in the form of various communal conflicts. Less violent in character, the importance of ‘belonging’ is also voiced in the state-dependent Eastern Indonesian town of Kupang as suspicions regarding informal favoring in local civil service. Informal preferencing in civil service is assumed to be based on ethnic favoring. Reflecting a popular social discourse for marking differences rather than a social reality, however, a focus on ethnicity is more obscuring than helpful in analyzing how informal favoring takes place. This article therefore aims to address the usefulness of ethnicity as an analytical concept. Drawing on several ethnographic examples this article argues that social capital -if necessary complemented with other forms of capital- instead of ‘ethnicity’ facilitates informal preferencing in Kupang’s service. Keywords: civil service, informal favoring, ethnicity Introduction During my fieldwork in city-level government offices in the Eastern Indonesian town of Kupang I often noted suspicions concerning informal favoring in civil servant recruitment. That informal selection procedures exist alongside formal ones was never questioned, but what facilitated one in getting ahead in this informal competition was subject to debate. Oftentimes it was supposed that somehow ‘ethnicity’ had something to do with it, meaning that jobs were given out informally based on ethnic favoring.

In malaria endemic areas, the largest proportion of malaria is asymptomatic malaria. Most people with asymptomatic malaria are not diagnosed and do not receive therapy. Asymptomatic malaria sufferers carry gametocytes which play an important role in the transmission of malaria, this situation will result in carrier sufferers or malaria sufferers without clinical symptoms (asymptomatic) at any time can transmit parasites to other people, thus new cases and even extraordinary events (outbreaks) of malaria can occur at unexpected times. This research is an interventional descriptive study with the aim of detecting the presence of asymptomatic malaria in the people of Nun Kurus Village, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara through the mass blood survey (MBS) work program from Naibonat Public Health Centre, Kupang Regency, and East Nusa Tenggara. The sample in this study was obtained using a total sampling method, namely, all subjects who participated in the MBS activity who were more than 5 years old, with the total of 68 people.
