Horticulture (among them are production of vegetables, fruits and flowers) is a business where the Netherlands has the strongest knwledge and capability as high tech nation. Netherland is the number three biggest exporting countries for agricultural based products. The important matter is that the horticulture has been the one of important aspects in village development and raining the farmer's income.
Variety of vegetables and fruits from or planted in Indonesia have unique characteristics but it is only small part of of its potency became the key role of economy. If the matters of quality and volume of the products have been improved consistantly, farmers can supply the products to the dynamic markets: Growing modern markets, industry or exports

Good agricultural practice (GAP) has been promoted within the Indonesian horticultural sector. Uptake is very low, partly because supermarkets and exporters do not demand nor pay extra for GAP produced vegetables. The benefits of GAP and Global GAP certification are not imbedded within the horticultural chain. This leads to food entering the local market while food safety is not guaranteed. Lack of certification also limits international trade of horticultural produce.
The current certification landscape is rather confusing, there is an increasing number of labels and certificates being communicated in the modern market segment. Exporters prepare for ASEAN GAP which is expected to be obligatory in 2012 and newly acquired high-end customers like Carrefour Middle East are likely to follow with food safety requirements. Seven international certifying bodies and six national certifying bodies currently operate in the Indonesian market for training, audits and certification inspections
In order to prevent competition between the various standards and scattered food safety initiatives this project aims to strengthen the capacity of Indonesian institutions to design and implement a food safety framework (including good agricultural practices and certification) for the domestic and export markets in such a manner that coherence and collaboration between the various certification schemes is guaranteed.

 This Quick Scan was requested by Dewan Hortikultura Nasional through Mrs. Karen Tamboyang. The initial idea for this study was discussed with the Director General the Directorate General Horticulture (Dr. Ir. Hasanuddin Ibrahim) and the Director General of DG Agricultural Processing and Marketing (Mr. Zaenal Bachruddin) of the Ministry of Agriculture in Indonesia.
Both Directors and their staff have amended the contents of the project slightly and widened the focus to development and promotion rather than marketing and promotion only. In the end this topic was found to be the responsibility of the Director General Agricultural Processing and Marketing (MoA PPHP) and he has nominated MoA staff for cooperation in the project.
The study was executed by a team consisting of Wageningen University Research Centre – LEI, Fresh Dynamics Asia, Horti Chain Centre Indonesia and staff of MoA – PPHP during the period July and August 2011. The report has been prepared by Jan Brusselaars (WUR-LEI), Iskandar Zulkarnain (HCC) and Marcel Stallen (FDA). Feedback from Wageningen UR – LEI by Bart Doorneweert has been incorporated in this report. The study was concluded by an internal seminar and presentation of the findings with staff of the Ministry of Agriculture and selected private stakeholders on September 13, 2011 in Jakarta.
Special thanks must go to PPHP staff, in particular Ms. Niken Wikanti, Ir. Mesah Tarigan, Mr. Dedi Junaedi and Mr. Maruli Indra for organizing the seminar and their cooperation in making all arrangements on the request of HCC. Thanks must also go to the stakeholders interviewed who
generously gave their time to the researchers team.
