2 Background Indonesia is the world s largest coconut producer (31% of global production) and fresh coconut exporter (33% of global fresh coconut export). Coconut is one of agriculture's superior products in Indonesia especially in areas with huge coconut plant potential in Flores NTT, Maluku & Papua, Java, Sulawesi, Sumatera and Kalimantan and the global and national demand for coconut products has been increasing since last decade, especially for products such as coconut oil, VCO, other nut product. Crude Coconut Oil (CCO) production in Flores is already known by farmers / producers, mainly by women at household level. They produce this CCO from their own coconut using traditional method and limited equipment. Unfortunately the CCO product from household producer in Flores is only sold to local market but the actual CCO quantity sold is less than the quantity produced (most producers only sell half of their product). The quality of the CCO varies significantly mainly because the producers have different understanding in CCO production process. To see the real condition in Indonesia, Oxfam-Prisma project initiate to facilitate and support coconut farmers in Flores to increase their income by linking them with better value markets. PRISMA is a market-led agricultural systems approach to improve farmer practices, link farmers to input and output markets and improve the local business enabling environment in a systematic and sustainable way. It is expected that interventions aimed at improving the market system will lead to improving the income of 300,000 targeted poor farmers in Eastern Indonesia by at least 30 percent by program end. The competitiveness of NTT s Crude Coconut Oil (CCO) can be improved by improving the quality and production of CCO by woman farmers/coconut farmers and facilitating aggregation point by local intermediate service provider.
