Smallholder productivity, market access, and international linkages in rubber and palm oil production in Jambi Province (C01)

占碑地的转型进程继续迅速进行，扩大土地利用的变化主要转向油棕，更有限的转向橡胶。在过去的几年里，小农面临着棕榈油和橡胶价格的波动，而且往往是极低的价格。这些趋势引发了价值链上的影响，特别是对小农的管理实践和贸易商层面的结构变化的影响。在农场一级，该项目将分析技术和环境效率的动态，而在贸易商一级，将重点关注贸易网络的变化。综合这两个方面将使我们能够得出建议，以更好地发挥橡胶和棕榈油价值链的作用。

Transformation processes in Jambi continue rapidly, with expanding land use change mainly towards oil palm and – more limited – towards rubber. In the past years, smallholders were confronted with volatile and often extremely low prices for palm oil and rubber. These trends triggered effects along the value chain, in particular on management practices of smallholders, and on structural change at the trader level. At the farm level, this project will analyse the dynamics of technical and environmental efficiency, while at the trader level, changes in trade networks will be in the focus. Synthesizing both aspects will allow us to derive recommendations for a better functioning of the value chains for rubber and palm oil.
