(eds) 2016. Food security in Timor- Leste through crop production. Proceedings of TimorAg2016, an international conference held in Dili, Timor-Leste, 13–15 April 2016. ACIAR Proceedings No. 146. Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research: Canberra. 187 pp. ACIAR Proceedings – ISSN 1038-6920 (print), ISSN 1447-0837 (online) ISBN 978 1 925436 49 5 (print) ISBN 978 1 925436 50 1 (PDF) Design by Peter Nolan, Canberra Printing by Bytes ’n Colours, Canberra Cover photo by Conor Ashleigh Foreword Timor-Leste, with a population of approximately 1.2 million, is a largely agrarian society and agriculture accounts for one-third of the gross domestic product (GDP). Approximately 64% of the population is engaged in agricultural activities, with a majority relying exclu- sively on low-input/output subsistence farming. Broad-based economic growth, inclusive of agriculture, is essential to ensure sustainable reductions to the current high rates of poverty, particularly in rural areas. Food security is an ongoing country-wide problem. Although the amount of food con- sumed for each individual has steadily increased since 1996, it remains well below that in neighbouring countries and malnutrition remains unacceptably high. Many families experience a ‘hungry season’ of up to 4 months per year. One of the biggest challenges faced by the nation is to increase production of the main staple crops. While a range of factors contribute to the low productivity (for example use of low yielding varieties, poor agronomy, and high postharvest losses), making available improved varieties with higher yield potentials is where the most immediate and significant gains can be obtained. In collaboration with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and the Timor-Leste Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) has played a key role in the Seeds of Life project, which is working towards a sustainable national seed system for Timor-Leste. The project has improved food security through the introduction, testing and initial distribution to farmers of improved germplasm of the major food crops: sweetpotato, maize, cassava, peanut and irrigated rice. The TimorAg2016 Conference was held in Timor-Leste in April 2016 and was a celebra- tion of the conclusion of the 16-year Seeds of Life project. The theme for the confer- ence was ‘food security in Timor-Leste through crop production’ and discussions were held around factors affecting crop production in Timor-Leste and the success technical advances have made to improving productivity. Two days of oral papers and posters were delivered across a number of sessions focusing on food security, elements for agricultural development in Timor-Leste, crops and their environments, reaching a food surplus, and communication of agricultural innovations. On day three, delegates went into the field to see the results in action, including a visit to a commercial seed producer in Liquica, and to the Loes Research Station. There were 260 registered participants and the conference was conducted in both English and Tetum, with simultaneous translation. These proceedings describe the progress made by the Seeds of Life project and other partners and stakeholders in improving crop production, nutrition and access to food for households in Timor-Leste over the past 16 years. They provide a valuable contribution to the discussion on further advancing the country’s agriculture sector to achieve food security in Timor-Leste.

Given the challenges associated with food security in our country and the work being done to improve the national food security situation, I believe that this is an opportune time for us to review and reflect on what has been done in this area and hopefully identify potential actions that we can apply to improve the well-being of the people of this country. As Minister of Agriculture, I know that strengthening Timor-Leste’s agricultural sector and increasing agricultural production is fundamental in this task. I am also fully aware that this alone will not be sufficient to achieve our goals. Increased production only addresses problems on the supply side. To really make a difference we also need to pay attention to such things as the distribution and accessibility of the food produced and ensuring that our population has the purchasing capacity to buy needed food in the market. This is why I am gratified to note that this conference provides a forum

Data in this report are drawn from the most recent available statistics from UNICEF and other United Nations agencies, and the Government of Timor-Leste. Cover photograph: © UNICEF Timor-Leste/2019/BSoares Girls take part in the ‘Kick for Identity’ junior football match to promote birth registration in Timor-Leste. © UNICEF Timor-Leste/2019/Helin THREE DECADES OF CHILD RIGHTS This has been a significant year for Timor-Leste. The 30th of August 2019 marked 20 years since the Popular Consultation, the countrywide vote that eventually led to the restoration of the country’s independence in 2002. The two decades that followed this momentous day have had their challenges, but have seen Timor- Leste achieve many milestones. The proportion of Timorese living in poverty reduced from 50 per cent in 2007 to 42 per cent in 2014. However, 49 per cent of children between the ages of 0 and 14 live below the national poverty line as of 2014. Undoubtedly, there is much work that still needs to be done. Towards this goal, UNICEF has worked closely with the Government of Timor- Leste, partners and donors to accelerate progress for children in the country: through the provision of technical and policy advice; advocacy; and supporting modeling initiatives or larger nationwide actions that draw attention to issues children face, drive change, and support actions that can catalyze progress.

  • Analytical Report on Education Timor-Leste Population and Housing Census 2015
    Census 2015 Analytical Report on Education Timor-Leste Population and Housing Census 2015 Thematic Report Volume 11 Education Monograph 2017 Copyright © GDS, UNICEF and UNFPA 2017 Copyright © Photos: Bernardino Soares General Directorate of Statistics (GDS) United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) 1 Executive Summary Education matters. It is the way through which one generation passes on its knowledge, experience and cultural legacy to the next generation. Education has the means to empower individuals and impacts every aspect of life. It is the vehicle to how one develops and understands the world. It creates opportunities for decent work and higher income and is correlated to many other components which can enrich one's quality of life and contribute to happiness, health, mental well-being, civic engagement, home ownership and long-term financial stability. Besides the economic implications, education is a fundamental right of each and every child. It is a matter of fulfilling basic human dignity, believing in the potential of every person and enhancing it with knowledge, learning and skills to construct the cornerstones of healthy human development (Education Matters, 2014)1. It is important to consider those most vulnerable and deprived of learning and ensure they receive the access to education they deserve. Simply stated: all children form an integral part of a country's future and therefore all should be educated. To protect the right of every child to an education, it is crucial to focus on the following components2: a) early learning in pre-schools, b) equal access to education for all children, c) guarantee education for children in conflict or disaster-prone areas and emergencies, d) enhance the quality of the schools, e) create partnerships to ensure funding and support and f) Build a strong education system.

  • Timor Leste – ORGANIC
    Timor Leste – ORGANIC REGION: Ducurai Village, Letefoho Sub-District, Ermera Municipality, Timor-Leste GROWER: 10 producers organized around Café Brisa Serena PROCESSING: Fully washed and dried on raised beds GROWING ALTITUDE: 1250 - 1450 masl PLANT VARIETIES/CULTIVAR: Timor Hybrid, Typica HARVEST PERIOD: June- September CERTIFICATIONS: Organic Timor-Leste, or East Timor, takes up the eastern half of the greater Timor island, part of the Indonesian archipelago and not far from the northern coast of Australia. It is a young republic with a long and chaotic political history, having only achieved full independence in 2002, after almost 500 years of consecutive occupations by the Portuguese, the Dutch, and Indonesia. Timor-Leste’s coffee is small in overall scale but highly significant to the Timorese, 25% of whom rely on coffee production for their livelihood. The island’s inland forests also happen to be historically significant, being the origin of coffee’s most adaptive genetic cross—the Timor Hybrid—a natural breeding of local robusta and typica trees that was identified in the 1920s, and whose vigorous genetics can be found in countless timor-based cultivars in almost every producing country today. The island’s isolation has also allowed for a unique preservation of endemic typica variety coffees, whose purity and diversity resembles that of nearby Papua New Guinea, and expresses similarly in the cup. The greater Timor island is sun-baked and humid along its coast, but the interior quickly rises to lush and rugged highlands, with sharp ridges and vibrant grass-covered slopes. The Ermera municipality is one of the island’s highest in elevation and includes its highest peak, Tatamailau.
