Significance of IrrigationIncreasing productivities

1. Land productivity: Yield per area

2. Labor productivity: Labor investment hours per area

Relation between water availability and cereal production

Difference of response in high yield variety from local one

Source:IRRI

Local varieties make more yield than high-yielding varieties when water availability during growing

period is below a certain level

Page 6: Institutional design of irrigation and rural …...Irrigation channel Drainage channel Basic Concept of Agricultural and Rural Development Project Construction of MANNO IKE ( -reservoir)

High substitutability between water and labor Ample water can reduce various labor force Conversely, temporary labor investment reduces water use during dry spells

Items Advantages provided to paddy rice agriculture with ample water usea) Reducing labor for water

management (off farm)Ample water use allows to easily convey water to all parts of the paddy fields with even poorly built canals and reduce labors for water management.

b) Reducing labor for water management (on farm)

With the system, called “plot-to-plot irrigation”, the paddy fields themselves serves as irrigation canals. Under this condition ample water use allows to easily keep the depth of water in submerged paddy plots.

c) Reducing labor for weed control Submerged soil prevents weeds from growing, except vascular weeds.

d) Preventing soil erosion Use of levees around rice fields and a standing pool of water reduce soil erosion-losses even during periods of heavy rain

e) Reducing labor and materials for fertilization

Organic matter in the soil decomposing slowly through anaerobic decomposition when the soil is submerged maintains soil fertility. Organic nitrogen is transformed into ammonia nitrogen while the soil is under reduced conditions with water and nitrogen is easily taken up by plants. Less phosphate fertilizer is required for submerged soils because soluble, plant-available phosphates are formed while the soil is in a reduced state.

f) Reducing labor for plowingPaddy rice cultivation in clay-rich soil involves a year long process whereby flooding water makes soil swelling and soft and dry condition makes soil shrinking, which forms cracks in soil. It makes same effects as plowing.

g) Preventing a fall in yield from repeated cropping

The soil is under reduced conditions when it is submerged and becomes oxidized when water is drained. This process promotes alternation between anaerobic and aerobic microbes, which maintains bacterial balance and soil fertility and prevents a fall in yield from repeated cultivation of the same crop on the same ground.

Significance of IrrigationIncreasing productivities

1. Land productivity: Yield per area

2. Labor productivity: Labor investment hours per area

Increase of land productivity brings more income to farmers. This allows introducing mechanization with surplus of profits and results in further increase of labor productivity.

Increase of labor productivity brings more external income additionally to farmers. This allows more investment for organizing agricultural cooperatives for better market access.

A sudden brake has been put on investments in the development of irrigated agriculture since the beginning of this century.

It is revealed that the annual fluctuation rate of area of irrigation agriculture has dropped to 0.5% recently while 1.5% in average from 1960’s to the end of last century in the world.

Page 11: Institutional design of irrigation and rural …...Irrigation channel Drainage channel Basic Concept of Agricultural and Rural Development Project Construction of MANNO IKE ( -reservoir)

This level of annual fluctuation rate since 2006 is the lowest and the world has never been had such a serious experience in the last half century

Analyzing in detail its considerable drops in various parts of the world;

North and central America during the second oil shock

Europe especially Eastern Europe since the end of the Cold War

Africa since 2003 keeping almost zero in annual expansion

West Asia since 2005 maintaining below zero in annual expansion

The highest level of price index (2002‐2004=100) of cereals ever recorded has lasted for the last two years

As of January 2013;

Maize: 287.7

Rice: 270.0

Wheat: 222.9

Soybean: 225.8

The structural mechanisms for pricing crops in international market have changed and food price volatilization has become ordinary

International price indices of cereals(Setting their average in 2002-2004 to 100)

Page 13: Institutional design of irrigation and rural …...Irrigation channel Drainage channel Basic Concept of Agricultural and Rural Development Project Construction of MANNO IKE ( -reservoir)

Accelerate utilization of untapped water resources in humid regions by increasing investment to irrigation development projects

Recent continuation of high crop prices is harmful to the poors but a good opportunity of  investment to irrigation development projects

Prioritize the investment according to degree of potential increase of food production per unit cost of the investment; Developing countries must have an advantage over developed countries

Federations of Land Improvement Associations(National level and prefecture level)

37

• The Federations of Land Improvement Associations have been established with the aim of promoting the members’ common interests by ensuring appropriate implementation of land improvement projects and efficient operation of land improvement districts, as a cooperative organization of the people who conduct land improvement projects.

• These Federations of Land Improvement Associations have been established at the levels of prefectural and central governments with the approval of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. LIDs in a prefecture consist of the members of a FLIA at prefectural level and FLIAs at prefectural level consist of that at national level.

• Therefore 47 FLIA at prefectural level and one FLIA at national level have been legally established under the Land Improvement Act.

Deterioration of the agricultural irrigation and drainage facilities is progressing and, particularly in recent years, the ratio offacilities whose lifetimes have exceeded the standard working life has been increasing.

The project budget for agricultural infrastructure improvement and rural development has been drastically reduced, and therefore it is necessary to set up a system to sustain a function of efficiently maintaining agricultural irrigation and drainage stock.

For the purpose of extending the lives of facilities, adequate preventive and maintenance measures are to be taken in accordance with functional diagnoses before serious functional decline occurs, in order to decrease life cycle cost.

• Indonesia now has become a member of G20, also is the world’s largest Islamic state and already a leader of countries. It is a time for Indonesia to contribute to challenge to the global food and human security

• Farmers with substantial capacity development and farm lands with appropriate irrigation infrastructure are sustainable national public treasuries/properties

• Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) should not hesitate to drastically increase its budget for the investment on irrigation infrastructure and capacity building of farmers for water management    

Conclusions/Comments

Page 66: Institutional design of irrigation and rural …...Irrigation channel Drainage channel Basic Concept of Agricultural and Rural Development Project Construction of MANNO IKE ( -reservoir)

• The problem on shortage of engineers and technical officials in MOA can be solved by means of outsourcing technical works

• For that purpose development of private companies engaged in consulting works on planning and designing is essential– Retired technical officials from Ministry of Public Works as a 

core and young engineers may establish consulting and architectural design firms

– Otherwise MOA promotes the establishment of United national/provincial Federations of WUA/WUAF and recruits retired technical officials and young engineers and farmers who have technical knowledge

Conclusions/Comments

Page 67: Institutional design of irrigation and rural …...Irrigation channel Drainage channel Basic Concept of Agricultural and Rural Development Project Construction of MANNO IKE ( -reservoir)

• The United national/provincial Federations of WUA/WUAF collect a membership fee from WUA/WUAF and take two roles;– Technical instruction/assistance to WUA/WUAF and training farmers on water management, and in some cases consulting and architectural design firms as well as contractors for construction works

– Collecting farmers’ voice and votes and conveying them into politics and decision makers at provincial/national level to create more positive atmospheres for public investment on irrigation infrastructures(Political union of WUA/WUAF may accompany them)
