Abstract

Food diversification has been a challenge for Indonesia and also for the West Nusa Tenggara government. Rice self sufficiency has been a major concern, especially in the era of fast land conversion. The government promotes food diversification policies through which other food resources such as cassava, maize, and others are utilised. As part of these policies, in 2012 the National Agency for Food Security in collaboration with the Provincial and East Lombok District Food Security Agencies established an analog rice processor plant at Masbagik Village - East Lombok District. This study aims to understand (1) the existing performance of analog rice production, and (2) constraints and challenges for analog rice production. Modified participatory action research was applied to the study (July 2016 - June 2019). Focus Group Discussion, in-depth interviews and observation have been used for data collection. The first year study found that analog rice production policies have not been implemented well and analog rice production plant is almost stagnant. Limited production activities took place and the value chain analysis confirmed for several constraints to analog rice production such as the machine failures, absence of proper formula and business plan. Absence of a clear vision at the processor/enterprise is identified. The key challenges in producing functional analog rice are to get a proper analog rice production formula, and to promote an effective business enterprise. There is also a need to improve the capacity of human resources involved, and the availability of raw materials for the functional analog rice production.
