The Role of Stakeholders to support the development of competitive commodities on Peatlands

In developing a food security business model, support from various related stakeholder is required. The success of this program cannot be done by a single actor, but is a collaboration between actors. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the actors and their roles in developing a partnership model to support the development of competitive commodities in peatlands. This study was conducted in 2020 at Buntoi Villages and Mantaren 1 Villages, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province. The data used are primary and secondary data. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and online questionnaires. The data were analyzed using stakeholder analysis.
The results of the study show that several actors have the potential to become key players in the development of superior commodities in peatlands, that is: five actors at the district level (Official of Agriculture, Official of Food Crops, Official of Regional Planning and Development, Official of Trade, Cooperatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Official of Community and Village Empowerment), two actors at the provincial level (Official of Food Crops Service and Official of the Food Security), an actor at the site level (Forest Management Unit (FMU/KPH), and one institution at the village level (the joint business group (Kelompok Usaha Bersama/KUB) or the social forestry business group (Kelompok Usaha Perhutanan Sosial/KUPS).
KUB or KUPS, can be the main social capital of the village to support the development of value chains for competitive products.
The Village Government can form BUMDes to accommodate KUB, KUPS, or other farmer groups in managing their business for both marketing and financing purposes.
The local government plays an important role in being the leader in supporting developments along the value chain for the products. In addition, it also requires good cooperation with other institutions such as financial institutions, industries, and universities.
