OUR JOINT BRAINS: HIGH-LEVEL ROUNDTABLE CONFERENCE FOREWORD

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

President Joko Widodo, in the past months, delivered strategic messages to the world and to his own people. For a working meeting of the Indonesian Regency Administration Association Apkasi on 19 July 2017 he promoted that particularly Indonesia’s poor regions will develop their

resources notably through foreign direct investment. After officially commissioning a new Mosque Hasyim Ashari on 15 April 2017 the President called for enhanced international trade. During my meeting with Bupati Uu Ruzhanul Ulum of Tasikmalaya on 31 August

2017 it was agreed that Tasikmalaya will implement all of this. A first high-level roundtable in Tasik gathered high-tech, global and multinational organizations and institutions including FAO and ASEAN calling for a radical modernization and

expansion of its agriculture (University Siliwangi, 14 August 2014). The required infrastructure to deal with safe, if not organic, high-value agrifood export and simultaneously with combatinginfant malnutrition, adapting education and training and creating tens of thousands of jobs was addressed through a second multi-stakeholder dialogue opened by Bupati Uu (Pendopo Tasikmalaya, 5 November 2016).

Indonesia’s top advisors for health, the economy, infrastructure and education and training such as Dr Bayu Krisnamurthi (former Vice Minister of Trade and of Agriculture) and Dr Widjaja Lukito (former Presidential Advisor on Public Health) have joined the PA International Foundation and the Tasik Children Foundation to assist the Tasik authorities, NGOs and enterprises to realize a holistically integrated agri/infra modernization project. In the past 15 years the PA International Foundation’s Secretary General Rio Praaning Prawira Adiningrat has been involved in many projects in Tasik, including the repair and equipping of over 60 schools. The Foundation is assisting this project free of charge. After many meetings and going through professionally prepared documents I conclude that this project is among the best organized and most promising to lift regions out of poverty on a sustained and sustainable basis. That

is why Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi now guides Tasikmalaya to the construction of a Special Port and why we, jointly with all other relevant departments and institutions in Indonesia, are hosting a high-level roundtable to jumpstart the Tasik project.

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

The emergence of the Indonesian economy is going to happen and it is not going to happen in Jakarta. If there has to be a takeoff of this country, it will be in cities like Tasikmalaya. The time is very well-chosen. We set the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Belgium, Indonesia, Korea, the whole of Africa, America, Asia, and Oceania. We started with eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which have now developed into 17 development goals that mankind and the United Nations set for themselves. They are providing the blueprint and the guidelines to all of our countries, proving that we are all developing countries. There is no such thing as a

developed country, or an emerging country, nor a developing country. We are all facing the same challenges and some of them are challenges that we are not always equipped to fight, for example in the case of global warming. Global warming is an issue in Europe that we are struggling to deal with. And it is an issue for the smallest subsistence farmer in Tasikmalaya. We are all in the same boat. I am delighted to be in Tasik, because I do think that we, as the EU and Belgium, have built up over the years a very good knowledge of food security and nutrition especially in other countries. We have no lesson to give to Indonesia as to how to develop and how to make a livelihood. This is something that you have in your blood. We have no lessons to be given, but we can share experiences, ideas and innovation. And that needs to be worked upon together and adapted to the specific condition of Indonesia.

There are four keywords that I would like to touch upon. The first is the need of an integrated approach, because we cannot do it if we do not cooperate. Pillarization, with everyone working in their own aspect of development, needs to change. It all has to be the part of one big plan. Second, the private sector involvement. The participation of the private sector in development was lost in a couple of decades and has to be reverted to now. I am very happy seeing a number of entrepreneurs among the speakers and participants of this conference. Third, the digital agenda for development. Indonesia has major opportunities to improve its connectivity in terms of digital ways of communicating and management. Lastly, development is something that has to come from our hearts and the places that we are at.

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

And both internally and abroad Tasik will drive the speed of both its development and its export. Tasik can offer the world the highest qualities and varieties of safe and effective foods and drinks: through cyberspace. Moreover, 3D technology can provide packaging and many other tools including for modernized agriculture. Investors can bring transport and other facilities, including combined wind/solar/water energy – even enough to share it with other Kabupaten.

But we do need a new port to get our products out there: to a world that truly waits for Tasik’s premium products and is willing to pay a premium price. This is the world where holistically integrated agri- and infra-

modernization will beat infant malnutrition.

Telkomsel has offered to help Tasik build its own cyberspace-based Tasik App Platform. Even the Jakarta Stock Exchange sees the great change in Tasik coming. No wonder banks look at their role in the Telkomsel-supported Tasik App Platform experiment. Microfinance to jumpstart Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) is one of Telkomsel’s strength. The Bupati can lead us to the operationalising of this game-changing Platform. The Platform will allow each farmer, each student, each entrepreneur and each mother with a malnourished child to find the way to a solution. The Platform can be co-managed by Tasik’s young intelligentsia. It can help

Tasik implement the Four Focal Fields/Twelve Pilot Projects identified to foster All-Stakeholder coordination and Cooperation.

In the past year, Tasik’s civil servants have been a uniquely unifying and indispensable help – and a generator of inspiration and action to us all. Key important partners – countries, ports, banks – have in principle agreed to invest. So, no, this is not a pipe dream. This is where Tasik steps into its future. This is when of our brains are effectively put together.

Pak Endy Bayuni left Jakarta on Friday night. As Editor in Chief of The Jakarta Post he needed to oversee the situation in the capital after at times violent demonstrations. But on Saturday morning he was in Tasik. He witnessed a unique discussion of what Belgian Ambassador Patrick Herman would refer to as a meeting of “amazing people saying amazing things”. Sometimes it is forgotten that 30 million Indonesians are still living below the poverty line. Emily Sutanto, directing Tasik’s first major organic food exporting PT. Bloom Agro company, rhetorically asked: “How can a family survive on 500.000 IDR per month?” In Tasik they do. “We are the poorest Kabupaten in West Java”, said House of Representatives Member Ibu

Nurhayati – or Ibu Nur for her rapidly growing circle of friends. But Pak Endy underlined her statement that more funding must be provided to Tasik. “This will allow Tasik to become a pillar for Indonesia’s rise to become the world’s fourth largest economy”, he said. “And with the passion of the people

around this table this will happen. Ibu Nur will fight for you in Jakarta.”His key advice: “Come out of your silos. You have what it takes to stop infant malnutrition.

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

training – and stop infant malnutrition.” Bupati Uu Ruzhanul Ulum fully agreed and encouraged the conference to get to work: “Tasikmalaya needs to build up the quality to compete through improved education and health care. We are open for investment. This integrative conference will benefit our people.” Referring to the Tasik Four Focus Fields/Twelve Pilot Projects, Ibu Nurhayati gave a rousing speech touching on every field of required development: “Start to think big!”, she said. “By 2050 Indonesia will become world’s 4th largest economy, but today we only occupy the world’s 102nd place in infrastructure. As an island nation we are 103rd in port facilities. That needs to end. In Tasik we need infrastructure. Soon we have our own airport2. Now we must build our own port near Cikalong, and connecting roads to Bandung and Garut. The quality of our roads requires immediate improvement. Our connectivity can be easily improved. That applies to our energy requirement as well. Without clean water there can be no end to 2 Opened and operational in the meantime

malnutrition. We must have a larger budget for welfare. Above all, this requires an integrated approach. This conference and these people touch my heart, I will fight for Tasik.” Agriculture, Infrastructure and Funding Around 80% of Tasikmalayans are farming. But their contribution to the region’s GDP is a mere 34%. Clearly this is not effective. Pak Masril Koto of the Farmer’s Bank Tani lists the causes: 1) lack of funding, seriously hindered by Tengkulak, the middlemen that keep loan

interests high and payments to the farmers low; 2) lack of support of leaders to change this system and properly equip the farmers. His solution: optimize micro-financing, create marketing platforms, improve accounting systems, establish individual savings programs, set up pregnancy accounts and above all: give the young generation of farmers a chance!

Siliwangi Dr Unang Atmadja wondered why it took so long to resolve these problems. “Already in 2004 the European Commission sponsored a major study of UNSIL and Wageningen University identifying Tasik’s unique opportunities to improve agricultural performance”. Listing the conclusions of this study he focused at his recent visit to Thailand: what technologies can be applied to use Tasik’s clean air, water and soil to produce high-value organic food. “UNSIL can be used as Center of Knowledge and

Incubator”. Wait for the future? No way! Ibu Emily shows the way with certified organic sales in at least 7 countries. A heart-throbbing documentary proved the uplifting of farmers out of dire poverty through certified organic food export. It is possible, now. But infrastructure must be improved. Ibu Emily: “The transport of one container of food from Tasik to Jakarta costs six time more than the transport of that same container from Jakarta to Singapore”. Pak Yudi Guntara

Noor, Owner of PT Citra Agro Buana Semesta fully agrees: “Transportation is critical. But so is a change in our food consumption and production pattern. And we need to optimize our use of critical facilities such as slaughter houses, packaging and trucks. Public awareness is another critical factor. The consumer must be educated.” Interestingly this was the number one outcome of the Elite Poll among 200 students of UNSIL and UMTAS. The key advice of Tasik’s Future Generation: “Start the combating of

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

training – and stop infant malnutrition.” Bupati Uu Ruzhanul Ulum fully agreed and encouraged the conference to get to work: “Tasikmalaya needs to build up the quality to compete through improved education and health care. We are open for investment. This integrative conference will benefit our people.” Referring to the Tasik Four Focus Fields/Twelve Pilot Projects, Ibu Nurhayati gave a rousing speech touching on every field of required development: “Start to think big!”, she said. “By 2050 Indonesia will become world’s 4th largest economy, but today we only occupy the world’s 102nd place in infrastructure. As an island nation we are 103rd in port facilities. That needs to end. In Tasik we need infrastructure. Soon we have our own airport2. Now we must build our own port near Cikalong, and connecting roads to Bandung and Garut. The quality of our roads requires immediate improvement. Our connectivity can be easily improved. That applies to our energy requirement as well. Without clean water there can be no end to 2 Opened and operational in the meantime

This conference and these people touch my heart, I will fight for Tasik.” Agriculture, Infrastructure and Funding Around 80% of Tasikmalayans are farming. But their contribution to the region’s GDP is a mere 34%. Clearly this is not effective. Pak Masril Koto of the Farmer’s Bank Tani lists the causes: 1) lack of funding, seriously hindered by Tengkulak, the middlemen that keep loan

interests high and payments to the farmers low; 2) lack of support of leaders to change this system and properly equip the farmers. His solution: optimize micro-financing, create marketing platforms, improve accounting systems, establish individual savings programs, set up pregnancy accounts and above all: give the young generation of farmers a chance!

Siliwangi Dr Unang Atmadja wondered why it took so long to resolve these problems. “Already in 2004 the European Commission sponsored a major study of UNSIL and Wageningen University identifying Tasik’s unique opportunities to improve agricultural performance”. Listing the conclusions of this study he focused at his recent visit to Thailand: what technologies can be applied to use Tasik’s clean air, water and soil to produce high-value organic food. “UNSIL can be used as Center of Knowledge and

Incubator”. Wait for the future? No way! Ibu Emily shows the way with certified organic sales in at least 7 countries. A heart-throbbing documentary proved the uplifting of farmers out of dire poverty through certified organic food export. It is possible, now. But infrastructure must be improved. Ibu Emily: “The transport of one container of food from Tasik to Jakarta costs six time more than the transport of that same container from Jakarta to Singapore”. Pak Yudi Guntara

Noor, Owner of PT Citra Agro Buana Semesta fully agrees: “Transportation is critical. But so is a change in our food consumption and production pattern. And we need to optimize our use of critical facilities such as slaughter houses, packaging and trucks. Public awareness is another critical factor. The consumer must be educated.” Interestingly this was the number one outcome of the Elite Poll among 200 students of UNSIL and UMTAS.

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

infant malnutrition at secondary schools!” Ibu Yoelistiyana Widjajanti of the Tasik Regional Government reviewed Tasik’s efforts to improve infrastructure. An assessment study was finalized, a strategy of new terminals agreed, and Rp 600 bn ready to be spent. In Europe and elsewhere, ports define the success of an economy. Referring to four highly successful specialised Belgian ports, Ambassador to Jakarta Patrick Herman indicated Belgium’s willingness to advise Tasik. “Belgian ports and companies have specific expertise in the export of safe food – vegetables, fruits,

organic food. The experience and networks of private companies are required. Public Private People’s Partnerships will help integrate Regional Government, NGOs and domestic SMEs and international businesses’ interests. Effective packaging, transport and marketing must be integrated. This requires optimized use of Information Technology.” He referred to the current Indonesian-EU trade negotiations CEPA and advised Tasikmalaya to make optimal use of this. For example, earlier this year 350 Belgian businessmen visited Indonesia and reached up to

Bandung to find partners for trade and investment. Confirming today’s huge opportunities Telkomsel’s Vice President Pak Gilang Prasetya referred to the Pokemon phenomenon: “In a couple of months 100 million customers were reached. This is the Pokemon Generation. Telkomsel can help Tasik build its domestic and global network. Telkomsel covers 97% of Tasik’s area. We develop Apps; work with government, small and medium enterprises, universities, schools and individual students. We see a change in lifestyle. We empower people to change and build employment.”

Pak Rio asked: let the conference participant who knows someone without a mobile telephone raise his or her hand. No one did. Soon this will greatly impact on the cash each Tasikmalayan has to develop or expand a business. No more Tengkulak. Pak Gilang: “As mobile phone operator that focuses on mobile financial services, we have two types of potential customers: those with and those without a bank account. We can service both, and the latter through our product, T-Cash.” Pak Irwan Abdalloh, Head of Market Development of the Indonesian Stock Exchange, did not come for nothing to Tasik. “So far we have seen a cycle of nothing”, he said.

“But if farmers organize in cooperatives, models can be developed for the required larger investment, and returns on investment can be re-invested. This creates value. And it produces safe food.” But safe food cannot be developed without safe water. Without safe water combating malnutrition cannot be successful. Founder/Director of Nazava Water Filters in Bandung Ibu Lisa Heederik (a former aid worker) describes the challenge: dry wells, unsafe water, unsafe water storage, resulting contamination, uncertified bottled water, no money to buy certified bottles or even to boil dirty water. “The solution is to filter the water without boiling. For 15 USD you can

obtain clean water for a family of five for two years. We sell these in 38 cities on 12 islands. 750 schools obtained our filters.” Pak Rio confirms the tremendous value of these certified and effective filters. He personally helped distribute these filters, including after the earthquake in Nepal and with the help of Qatar Airways. “If the filters are combined with appropriate products to restore the health of an infant, lives are saved.” Underlining the crucial importance of safe water to combat infant malnutrition, Pak Oki Zulkifli, Head of Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, and Pak Endang Suwarman, Chief of Public Health Development Department at Dinas Kesehatan Kota Tasikmalaya, describe the almost diabolical cycle of stunting and serious infant malnutrition in Tasik. While budgets and health personnel are in place, their joint counsel is to work through cooperatives and indeed work together. Their to-do-list prioritizes:

- All health- and food- related agencies must stop working in silos;

- Their work must be synchronized and their planning and implementation must be integrated;

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

Our religious and societal leadership must change the role of women, including through a better interpretation of religious understandings that are currently biased and discriminating.

education must be improved. Because women carry an enormous burden and are often deprived of a decent life, both reproductive health and maternal health suffer.

reduce infant malnutrition and mortality.” Kampung Gizi is a place where much of Ibu Enung’s desires are already realised. What the Bloom Company is for export, is Kampung Gizi for combating malnutrition locally. Its leader, Ibu Yanti, describes how a cooperative approach focused at training and education results in improved nutrition. “Through small companies, through city farming, extra family income can be generated. Several NGOs, nutrition centres and official institutions have parts of the answer to malnutrition. We truly need to integrate all these services.” Pak Wawan Nawawi, Chairman of BAZNAS in the West-Java Province, fully agrees and points out that all calls for an integrated multi-stakeholder cooperation have never been better addressed than at this roundtable where all stakeholders are present. The resulting cooperative approach should be led by religious leaders resulting in change that is based on a shared philosophy: nutritional value strengthens the body and the soul. The Dean of the Health Faculty of Universitas Muhammadiyah Tasikmalaya, Pak Saryomo, focuses at the educational part of this philosophy.

Internship programmes and a stronger activation of the role of students in combating malnutrition can strengthen all other institutions. He cannot be disappointed by the views of the students of UMTAS and UNSIL themselves. The mere fact that some 200 students responded to a malnutrition-oriented questionnaire and came up with quite strong and original ideas strongly suggests the direct involvement of these students in combating malnutrition [see survey results further in this booklet]. Pak Rio uses the opportunity to disclose the UMTAS/UNSIL/PA International project involving students in a combating infant

malnutrition outreach project embedded in university courses. The outreach can be obtained through an App-based cooperation with GoJek-like companies such as KlikQuick. Its Co-Founder Pak Raden Ian Ihsan Gopur explains how this out-of-the-box opportunity works: “There is one click for everything.

this year started a formal discussion on the opening of South Java through the construction of ports. “Tasikmalaya and the province of West-Java must approach this cautiously in view of the eco-sensitive concerns, but also aggressively because not much time is left.” Pak Bambang refers to existing railways and highways that can be improved, extended and created into both a south-south link and a link to Bandung. “Cikalong is recognized by the Government as a potential area for a new port. I strongly advise the regional

Government of Tasikmalaya to rapidly appeal to the national Government to allow the construction of Cikalong port in cooperation with the Government of West-Java. Even if Cikalong port is not yet part of our country’s infrastructure plans, the new airport in Tasik and the hinterland of Bandung are clear arguments to include Cikalong port in the plans that are currently shaped by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Resources.” His words were eagerly picked up by the businessmen around the table and more particularly by Ibu Nurhayati,

who vowed to realise Tasikmalaya’s own port of Cikalong. Dr H. Abdul Mu'ti, Secretary General of Muhammadiyah, connects the key issues of agriculture, infrastructure, education and malnutrition in the most practical and day-to-day way: “The problem is that Indonesians prefer ‘delicious’ over ‘nutritious’. Food stands for all kinds of emotions and goals. We need to create clarity and knowledge about the role of food in society. We require change in why we eat what.” Referring to Pak Sambas, Chairman of the Farmers Association Kelompok Tani Nelayan Andalan, he agrees with the Koran as a guidance for good food. “This must not only be halal but also thoyib – healthy food. This may require us to adapt our lifestyle and not just eat rice but particularly fruits and vegetables. With all present or interested in this roundtable we can build the required knowledge about food, produce and distribute locally what is required and contribute to an optimal agronomy!”

On 31 August 2017 Bupati Uu Ruzhanul Ulum, Presidential Advisor Suharso Monoarfa, Member of the House of Representatives Nurhayati Effendi, former Presidential Advisor on Public Health Dr Widjaja Lukito, former World Food Programme expert Maria Catharina, and Rio Praaning Prawira Adiningrat agreed on a total approach toward holistically integrated agri-infra modernization in Tasik, starting with an official visit of a High-Level Delegation of the Sultanate of Oman to Tasik and Jakarta on 16-21 November 2017. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tasikmalaya, in less populated yet underused and underequipped South West Java, to turn its vast amounts of fertile soil, its clean water, its geothermal, solar, water and wind energy and its geostrategic position into an undeniable business proposition. PricewaterhouseCoopers, McKinsey and President Jokowi agree that Indonesia will be the world’s 4th largest economy by 2050. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Port of Rotterdam and several other major potential partners have expressed their interest in investing in Cikalong Port and agri-infrastructure.

The holistically integrated proposals below will be embedded in and respectful towards local tradition and environment – and will be inspired by religion. Through a Multi-stakeholder Advisory Group and Steering Group including all relevant Ministries and local Departments and senior representatives of science, industry, education, NGOs, public services and (social) media, this initiative will be successful. The shape of this new approach may be as follows: Agriculture Modernization a. The Establishment of an App-based Micro-Financing Facility b. The Development of Organic Agriculture Products partly on OVOP (One Village, One

Product) basis (one cooperative, one product), foreign off-take and bamboo for domestic multipurpose use re-oriented

c. The Food Chain Infra modernisation (cold stores, packaging, etc) including 3D Technology

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

Tasikmalaya’s Unique Departure to the Future On 9 August 2016 Suherman Gaos, SP, Division Head of Tasikmalaya’s Food Security Agency, described the causes of sometimes serious malnutrition in Tasik: antiquated agriculture, lack of infrastructure, hidden unemployment, low income. 29% of the population cannot feed their children properly. There is a lack of nutritious food, notably spinach and other green vegetables (50%), fruits (50%), meat (40%), chicken (40%), fish (40%), and nuts (40%). Early marriages and undernourished mothers create children with serious nutrition deficits in their first 1,000 days on earth. The consequence is Underdevelopment of key organs such as the brain, stomach and heart. A life of underperformance clouds the child’s, the region’s and the nation’s future. With all of our combined brains and hearts this can be stopped and turned into a giant success. Exactly by adding an international and strong purchasing power segment to Tasik’s domestic market both food thirsty Oman (and possibly China) and underproducing Tasik can hugely benefit. Tasik’s October 2016 first ever combined International Expo and Conference, which attracted foreign delegations from the European Union, ASEAN and China, demonstrates Tasik is ready.

Bupati and Wali Kota: Four Focal Fields and Twelve Tantalizing Projects In September 2016 Minister Eko highlighted his plan to help structure SME- and MNE oriented strategies to jumpstart regional economies. In October 2016 Tasik’s Bupati Uu Ruzhanul Ulum presided over a meeting with his complete management and advisers launching a Holistically Integrated Multi-Stakeholder Agri-Infra Modernization Strategy that will be presented to President Joko Widodo. On 5 November 2016, this radically new approach including High Technology and People’s Power elements was discussed by the most influential national and local politicians, industrial experts, health gurus, local universities, local NGOs and successful Tasik entrepreneurs. All Tasik centres of thought and development and particularly UNSIL and UMTAS received live-streamed info and

participated in an intellectuality poll. This strengthened the Holistically Integrated Four Focal Fields and Twelve Tantalizing Projects approach:

(1) Agriculture Modernization (2) Infrastructure Modernization (3) Public Health (4) Education and Training Under each Field three Pilot Projects are selected that share coordinated goals, integrated ways and means and strongly disciplined and focused managements for multi-stakeholder participants. How will Coordination and Implementation be ensured?

The threads through all fields and projects are the following: IT and App applications Water security Food security and safety Job security Disciplined execution Respect for environment Rule of law Full transparency Internationality Clear deliverables.

Apps for Farming, Enterprising, Infra and Health Care: a new Tasik App Platform In the recent past applied sciences, optimized farming, manufacturing, packaging, storage, transport, marketing, financing and export were all outside the grasp of most farmers and entrepreneurs in Tasik. But today everyone has a mobile phone, and with Apps on that phone all of these matters can be obtained cheap, fast and now. Banks are ready to engage – cutting out loan sharks. Through UMTAS and UNSIL the United Nations organizations FAO, UNDP and Scaling Up Nutrition are ready to share know-how, advice on the use of Low-Risk Pesticides and Fertilizers to produce high-value organic foods, business plans, market access and any other guidance including global best practices. The 2014 UNSIL High-Level Seminar has already demonstrated Tasik’s readiness to support and cooperate. Moreover, B2B, market data, micro-financing and even crowd funding (particularly for combating malnutrition cases) can be arranged or provided. For each of the Four Focal Fields the new plans and projects of Minister Eko Sandjojo and the relevant Tasik authorities and organizations can integrate and coordinate their capacities and (human) resources through the Tasik Four Focal Fields App Platform. Input can be given by enterprises responsible for recent Tasik export successes in Organic Rice and High-Quality Fish and Fruits Products. In each of the Four Focal Fields specific Member Groups can be created that engage in pilot projects both through the Internet and during meetings. The integrated Platform Management can ensure that funding and management training can be provided so that the scaling up of pilots can be easily realized.

Platform can lead to a practical Four Focal Fields business incubation centre in Tasik, backed up by Ministries, banks, foreign and private investors and Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) seeking partnerships with local SMEs. How can the Four Focal Fields Tasik App Platform become a practical reality for farmers, entrepreneurs, educationalists and health care workers? Below three Pilot Projects for each of the Four Focal Fields are described: through twelve projects the Central Government and Tasik can jump-start the future. A future of rapid IT/app based agri-infra modernization leading to high-value-adding industries, well-paid jobs and an end to infant malnutrition. First Focal Field: Agriculture Modernization Around 80% of Tasikmalayan workforce is in farming, producing around 35% of Tasik’s GDP. Most produce is marketed and consumed locally for depressed prices. In the next 10 years China and many other Asian nations will experience rapidly rising and very serious shortages in safe and healthy foods. Foreign markets such as these will require, and therefore will be willing to pay for, substantial volumes of imported foods, which can, as of now, be produced in Tasikmalaya. A major 2004 European Union sponsored study of Wageningen University and Universitas Siliwangi in Tasik concluded as follows: a. The Regency has a wide variety of products with a comparative advantage over other

regions that show an increasing domestic and international demand as well; b. These agriculture, forest and fishery products provide the Regency with the possibility to

invest in an integrated agribusiness approach, which will result in a substantial contribution to the overall economic development of the region (jobs, income);

c. However, this comparative advantage (traditional know-how & expertise, the Regency’s climate and natural resources), combined with a growing demand for value-added products is insufficiently exploited;

d. The main reason for this is the absence of an effective economic infrastructure to support trade activities. Unlike other Regencies, the Tasikmalaya Regency is insufficiently connected to highways and has no commercial harbor facilities;

e. Interviews with agricultural traders provide one major reason for not exporting their produce (domestically or international): the inability to efficiently transport fresh produce to markets outside the Regency;

f. Another reason is the lack of access to credit for investing in business opportunities to agribusiness entrepreneurs. Regardless of the comparative advantage and/or market demand, SMEs lack an enabling environment to support their growth;

g. Although outside the scope of this research, investments in infrastructure are thought to boost other economic activities as well. The Regency’s territory has a large but under-developed source of marine fisheries and has still unexploited mining potential for minerals such as iron sand. Finally, the long-stretching white beaches of the Regency’s southern coast are presently an under-developed source of (eco-)tourism income;

h. The main finding of this research is that for the development of the Regency’s agribusiness potential, investments are required in both infrastructure (roads, a commercial and fisheries port) and in providing access to credit to entrepreneurs. What has changed since 2004? IT! Mobile phones and apps bridge all the physical infrastructure.

According to interviews with farmers and entrepreneurs in 2016, the role of Tengkulak (middlemen/loan sharks) must be abolished. They act as both lenders of high-interest venture capital to farmers as well as collectors of their products – often with unfair prices. Consequently, farmers and other smallholders in agriculture are not in the best financial position to even fulfil their basic needs, let alone to improve their education, training, skills, use of low-risk pesticides and fertilizers, modern tools, and penetration capacity throughout the Value-Adding Food Chain. By cutting out the middlemen, introducing direct lending through a Mobile App and providing optimal advice and support through a Tasik App Platform, the drawbacks of the past can be changed into a supportive environment for Tasik’s future farming, fish-farming, fisheries, and animal husbandry. Minister Eko’s new micro-finance instruments, local banks, TELKOMSEL and investors can be streamlined and materialized through the Tasik App Platform and a future business incubator facility. It should be noted that the Pilots below can be applied to similar integrated projects in all other agri-sectors. Pilot Project I A: Establishment of Tasik/Village Ministry Micro-Financing Facility: According to all farmers and notably Ms. Emily Sutanto (the owner of PT Bloom Agro) and Mr Masril Koto (the founder of Farmers’ Bank), the main hindrance of any agriculture development in Tasikmalaya is the role of Tengkulak (middlemen). Mr Masril Koto is ready to partner with local actors such as Dinas Pertanian (agriculture), Dinas Peternakan dan Perikanan (animal husbandry and fisheries) and Bank BJB to establish a microfinancing scheme for farmers, breeders, and fishermen that will free them from Tengkulak’s control. This microfinancing facility can start using Minister Eko’s Village’s Dana Desa (Village Fund), which is now, according to Minister Eko, prioritized for developing local SMEs. The Tasik App Platform, as potentially established by the Tasik Authorities and local Stakeholders, and Minister Eko can jointly initiate and potentially fund this project while an App-based Membership facility is opened for potential users. Pilot Project I B: Sharing Organic Farming towards High-Value Products The results of the UNSIL 2014 High-Level Food Safety/Combating Malnutrition Seminar are used to select or create cooperatives among Tasik farmers that will start using the micro-financing facility to produce organic food. Experiences of current successful organic food producers inside and outside Tasik will be shared. A potent international certificate for Tasik organic agri products will be the basis for a connection with potential (foreign) buyers (MNEs) and markets. Following a micro-financed start, larger investments may follow for strongly organised and disciplined cooperatives, securing the solid quality and quantity necessary for longer-term offtake contracts. The funding for this Pilot could be through an adaptation of Minister Eko’s One Village One Product (OVOP) Program, in which each participating cooperative in each village would specialize in a certain range of complementary products. Tasik and Minister Eko may wish to develop a rapidly growing relationship with both Foreign Governments (Oman, China, Japan) and foreign companies or retailers. In fact, the Sultanate of Oman already provided a wish-list of agri-products it wishes to import from Tasik. It has already been indicated that all these products and more can be produced through conversion of Tasik’s current agri production. The required conversion based on a usufruct approach is proposed by the Bupati and the Omani authorities.

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

Platform can lead to a practical Four Focal Fields business incubation centre in Tasik, backed up by Ministries, banks, foreign and private investors and Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) seeking partnerships with local SMEs. How can the Four Focal Fields Tasik App Platform become a practical reality for farmers, entrepreneurs, educationalists and health care workers? Below three Pilot Projects for each of the Four Focal Fields are described: through twelve projects the Central Government and Tasik can jump-start the future. A future of rapid IT/app based agri-infra modernization leading to high-value-adding industries, well-paid jobs and an end to infant malnutrition. First Focal Field: Agriculture Modernization Around 80% of Tasikmalayan workforce is in farming, producing around 35% of Tasik’s GDP. Most produce is marketed and consumed locally for depressed prices. In the next 10 years China and many other Asian nations will experience rapidly rising and very serious shortages in safe and healthy foods. Foreign markets such as these will require, and therefore will be willing to pay for, substantial volumes of imported foods, which can, as of now, be produced in Tasikmalaya. A major 2004 European Union sponsored study of Wageningen University and Universitas Siliwangi in Tasik concluded as follows: a. The Regency has a wide variety of products with a comparative advantage over other

regions that show an increasing domestic and international demand as well; b. These agriculture, forest and fishery products provide the Regency with the possibility to

invest in an integrated agribusiness approach, which will result in a substantial contribution to the overall economic development of the region (jobs, income);

c. However, this comparative advantage (traditional know-how & expertise, the Regency’s climate and natural resources), combined with a growing demand for value-added products is insufficiently exploited;

d. The main reason for this is the absence of an effective economic infrastructure to support trade activities. Unlike other Regencies, the Tasikmalaya Regency is insufficiently connected to highways and has no commercial harbor facilities;

e. Interviews with agricultural traders provide one major reason for not exporting their produce (domestically or international): the inability to efficiently transport fresh produce to markets outside the Regency;

f. Another reason is the lack of access to credit for investing in business opportunities to agribusiness entrepreneurs. Regardless of the comparative advantage and/or market demand, SMEs lack an enabling environment to support their growth;

g. Although outside the scope of this research, investments in infrastructure are thought to boost other economic activities as well. The Regency’s territory has a large but under-developed source of marine fisheries and has still unexploited mining potential for minerals such as iron sand. Finally, the long-stretching white beaches of the Regency’s southern coast are presently an under-developed source of (eco-)tourism income;

h. The main finding of this research is that for the development of the Regency’s agribusiness potential, investments are required in both infrastructure (roads, a commercial and fisheries port) and in providing access to credit to entrepreneurs. What has changed since 2004? IT! Mobile phones and apps bridge all the physical infrastructure.

According to interviews with farmers and entrepreneurs in 2016, the role of Tengkulak (middlemen/loan sharks) must be abolished. They act as both lenders of high-interest venture capital to farmers as well as collectors of their products – often with unfair prices. Consequently, farmers and other smallholders in agriculture are not in the best financial position to even fulfil their basic needs, let alone to improve their education, training, skills, use of low-risk pesticides and fertilizers, modern tools, and penetration capacity throughout the Value-Adding Food Chain. By cutting out the middlemen, introducing direct lending through a Mobile App and providing optimal advice and support through a Tasik App Platform, the drawbacks of the past can be changed into a supportive environment for Tasik’s future farming, fish-farming, fisheries, and animal husbandry. Minister Eko’s new micro-finance instruments, local banks, TELKOMSEL and investors can be streamlined and materialized through the Tasik App Platform and a future business incubator facility. It should be noted that the Pilots below can be applied to similar integrated projects in all other agri-sectors. Pilot Project I A: Establishment of Tasik/Village Ministry Micro-Financing Facility: According to all farmers and notably Ms. Emily Sutanto (the owner of PT Bloom Agro) and Mr Masril Koto (the founder of Farmers’ Bank), the main hindrance of any agriculture development in Tasikmalaya is the role of Tengkulak (middlemen). Mr Masril Koto is ready to partner with local actors such as Dinas Pertanian (agriculture), Dinas Peternakan dan Perikanan (animal husbandry and fisheries) and Bank BJB to establish a microfinancing scheme for farmers, breeders, and fishermen that will free them from Tengkulak’s control. This microfinancing facility can start using Minister Eko’s Village’s Dana Desa (Village Fund), which is now, according to Minister Eko, prioritized for developing local SMEs. The Tasik App Platform, as potentially established by the Tasik Authorities and local Stakeholders, and Minister Eko can jointly initiate and potentially fund this project while an App-based Membership facility is opened for potential users. Pilot Project I B: Sharing Organic Farming towards High-Value Products The results of the UNSIL 2014 High-Level Food Safety/Combating Malnutrition Seminar are used to select or create cooperatives among Tasik farmers that will start using the micro-financing facility to produce organic food. Experiences of current successful organic food producers inside and outside Tasik will be shared. A potent international certificate for Tasik organic agri products will be the basis for a connection with potential (foreign) buyers (MNEs) and markets. Following a micro-financed start, larger investments may follow for strongly organised and disciplined cooperatives, securing the solid quality and quantity necessary for longer-term offtake contracts. The funding for this Pilot could be through an adaptation of Minister Eko’s One Village One Product (OVOP) Program, in which each participating cooperative in each village would specialize in a certain range of complementary products. Tasik and Minister Eko may wish to develop a rapidly growing relationship with both Foreign Governments (Oman, China, Japan) and foreign companies or retailers. In fact, the Sultanate of Oman already provided a wish-list of agri-products it wishes to import from Tasik. It has already been indicated that all these products and more can be produced through conversion of Tasik’s current agri production. The required conversion based on a usufruct approach is proposed by the Bupati and the Omani authorities.

FOREWORD OUR JOINT BRAINS: HIGH-LEVEL ROUNDTABLE CONFERENCE

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

The required applied science and the application of low-risk pesticides and fertilizer products within specific markets can be realized through the Tasik App Platform.; this Platform can develop a relationship with (Members of) the global Association of Low Risk (bio) Pesticides Producers (IBMA/ABIM) with the support of FAO and ASEAN. Pilot Project I C: Food Chain Infra and 3D Technology Under Pilot B farmers start producing high-value (organic) foods, creating the opportunity for farmers to move up the food value chain and engage in a variety of value adding activities. They can engage in high value packaging, storage, transport, distribution, marketing and sales. Through the facilities under IA and IB, space is created to allow stakeholders to develop the skills required for these positions. Among the new technologies to be considered for use are multiple job-generating 3D packaging projects, bamboo projects (traditional products for construction, furniture and low-cost earthquake-resistant housing/storage facilities/port facilities; and nontraditional products such as clothing, high-end food and bio-energy) and any other bankable value-adding steps in the food chain. Funding can be acquired through a mix of international partnerships (INBAR, Chambers of Commerce, multinational enterprises such as Unilever, Nestle, Danone, etc.) international funding (ADB, EIB, EIF, JBIC, AIIB, Silk Road Fund, SMI, FMO, buyers’ associations, etc.) and local funding.

Second Focal Field: Infrastructure Modernization Modernizing infrastructure in all its clusters – soft infrastructure, hard non-physical infrastructure, and hard physical infrastructure – in an integrated way is one of the key prerequisites to economic development. This is recognized in President Joko Widodo’s sea-lanes programme. The President’s Advisers, Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Resources General Luhut Pandjaitan and more particularly the new Minister of Transport Pak Budi support the construction of a modest port in Tasikmalaya – that due to the planned use of locally produced bamboo for logistical facilities – may turn out to become the world’s Greenest Port. Plans to build such a port have been developed already, draw much Central Government

sympathy and support and now await formal Government support and co-funding. Low-cost modest infra for Health Care, Local Trade, Education and Training are precursors to the larger infrastructure projects. A modest fishing and commercial port in Tasikmalaya will have a positive effect on Bandung’s overcrowded, export-oriented industrial parks. As indicated by Bandung’s industries earlier, part of these may relocate to Tasik: indeed, they may choose this easily reachable new port in the relatively quiet Southern part of Java over the overpopulated and overused northern Javanese coastal line that requires continued expensive dredging and is very difficult to reach by road. This was recently confirmed by the highly public empowered Mayor of Bandung, Pak Ridwan. Recently a new airport started functioning in Tasikmalaya; a former military airbase has been changed into a commercial airport with Lion Air as its first user. A connection between Tasik’s coastal activities, Bandung and Jakarta will spur industrial, economic and trade opportunities. Clearly the new airport and seaport will spur socio-economic development and create thousands and in the end tens of thousands of new and good income-generating jobs. Initial Infra Networks leading up to larger infrastructure such as a modest fishing/commercial port will first of all improve health care and education for distant villages and secondly allow transport of high-value products as produced under Pilot Project IB to facilities for either optimal domestic markets (major cities) or export. Successful activities of this kind and of projects referred to under IC will require the build-up of these new airport and port facilities. Initial Pilot Projects can thus focus on benefits for Health Care, Education and Training and – of course – trade and export. Pilot Project II A: App/Infra for Local Trade, Health Care, Education and Training Soft infrastructure modernization focuses on increasing the government’s capacity to ensure the basic well-being of its people. Tasikmalaya has developed a Regional Fast Response Taskforce, which aims to give basic health care, education, and other basic needs to Tasikmalayans living in rural areas, especially those who are not registered in national healthcare and education programs. This is of particular importance to combat infant malnutrition through a holistically integrated and coordinated therapeutic outsource facility in cooperation with the Public Health students of UMTAS and UNSIL (these valuable educational institutions already agreed to include such outsource combating malnutrition activities in their formal curricula) that will require GoJek-like services. This radically new approach to save and improve lives requires the total coordination and logistical management of all public health institutions in Tasikmalaya, from Posyandu to TFCs and from hospitals to universities. This innovative approach typically requires the Tasik App Platform to develop and manage the mobile telephone App connecting families in distant areas with health care providers in all of the health care institutions and partner universities. This typically requires the establishment of an App-based Member Group approach with its own targets, dynamics, ways and means and deliverables. Families in need no longer have to physically call on the taskforce or any distant service to get relatively simple and systematic medical or educational assistance that can be provided by low-cost well-managed university-supported ‘GoJekked’ (‘KlikQuiked’) outsource services – while an already existing social network alarmed by the App Platform comes to action to secure longer term advice and support.

The same approach can be applied to educational facilities in distant areas. Based on a model developed by the Paramadina University in Jakarta, well-educated and trained university students can be outsourced to distant schools through ‘Go-Jekked’ services. Further digitalizing this service will require cooperation with telecommunication and internet provider companies such as Telkomsel and the startup company ‘Qlue’, which created an online reporting platform for the Jakarta Government. Cooperation with Tasikmalaya IT Volunteers will also be needed to adapt the platform as part of the development of Tasikmalaya Smart City (mentioned further in the 4th focal point). Obviously, this can be organized through a separate Tasik App Platform Member Group. Funding can be drawn from the various Ministries involved: Education, Health, Communications, and Villages. For both local as well as international trade, the same approach can be applied to specialty products requiring a range of logistical services from packaging, cold stores and storage, to transportation and exportation. Funding for this can be found through partnerships, banks, relevant ministries and export credits. Pilot Project II B: Establishing/promoting Tasik App-based GoJek-like services The optimization of GoJek-like applications/services is a hard, non-physical infrastructure development aimed at helping the Government increase connectivity throughout rural areas in Tasikmalaya. Kokotik and Klikquick are two of the examples of local GoJek/Uber-like applications. With adequate management training, especially by GoJek itself, as well as financial support from the local transportation office (DISHUB) and other relevant institutions, these applications can be managed to facilitate the use of motorbikes, cars, and small trucks as distributors of nutritional food and beverages, transporters of urgent health care personnel and university-student-teachers or outsourced students combating malnutrition, and even mobile libraries to neighborhoods in remote areas in Tasikmalaya (apart from their usual commercial purposes). Moreover, these applications can also help connect agricultural producers with exporting facilities, such as the newly commercially functioning Wiriadinata Airport and the proposed Cikalong Port. This can lead to a dedicated Tasik App Platform Member Group for ‘GoJek-like’ services. The bankability of this project may be sufficient and is sure to attract investors and Government funding alike – particularly since this caters to a solution to the crucial effort in Tasikmalaya to stop infant malnutrition. Pilot Project II C: Cikalong Port Cikalong Port is a potential multi-stakeholder, multinational integrated project proposing to substantially improve both the agricultural and fisheries sectors. The port will pull modernization in the entire Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, with a wider positive impact on traffic jams between Bandung and Jakarta. The project aims to build a modest fishing and commercial port in Cikalong, West Java. The proposed port must be bankable and equipped with fish/vegetable/fruit processing and packaging facilities so that the port can also serve as a modest export port out of the Tasikmalaya Regency. The port must be integrated with a larger agri-infra investment project connecting Bandung to Tasikmalaya, with a maximum capacity of over 2 million TEU/year. This can serve as an export port for a multitude of products from South West Java. Several ports and banks in the EU, China and Oman have already indicated their interest to co-fund and co-manage this port project. All Tasik educational institutions must be enabled to adjust their programmes to jobs at all levels in the future port.

Third Focal Field: Public Health Today in Tasikmalaya, 41% of children are malnourished. Each of these children will grow up with underdeveloped physical and cognitive functions. Their non-optimally developed organs, including the brain and heart, will remain a disadvantage throughout their lives, and subsequently put a brake on Indonesia’s progress towards becoming the world’s 4th largest economy by 2050. The Authorities of Kota and Kabupaten Tasikmalaya have made progress in combating malnutrition; but their experts agree that the lack of further progress is caused by a lack of coordination and cooperation between all relevant health services and institutions. If all brains, experiences, sources, know-how, export products and trade were combined and holistically integrated, infant malnutrition will stop. Other serious health issues can be addressed along these lines as in paragraph 22 and 23. Pilot Project III A: Tasik App Member Group to Stop Infant Malnutrition In UMTAS and UNSIL Tasikmalaya has a pool of around 1,500 sufficiently educated human resources capable of helping the Regional Government to combat malnutrition through outsourcing the combined capacities of all public health services in Tasik. As part of their curriculum these students can periodically be assigned by their faculties to conduct field services to remote society (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) in Tasikmalaya. Their service can focus on educating and assisting low-income families regarding safe and nutritious food, personal hygiene and sanitation. Importantly, students can help administer certain products to help infants recover from malnutrition. The Tasik App Platform can create a Member Group including UNSIL and UMTAS, DINKES Kota and Kabupaten, Fatayat NU, Aisyiyah, PKK, and all existing formal regional and local health care institutions and organizations. This will be the basis for the required holistically integrated coordination and cooperation. Funding can be received from the Ministries of Health, Education and a host of international organizations, institutions and funds. UMTAS, UNSIL and PA already signed a MOU to realize this project. Several companies have already indicated their willingness to sponsor (materially) the new Outsource agency (OTIFA).

I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

The same approach can be applied to educational facilities in distant areas. Based on a model developed by the Paramadina University in Jakarta, well-educated and trained university students can be outsourced to distant schools through ‘Go-Jekked’ services. Further digitalizing this service will require cooperation with telecommunication and internet provider companies such as Telkomsel and the startup company ‘Qlue’, which created an online reporting platform for the Jakarta Government. Cooperation with Tasikmalaya IT Volunteers will also be needed to adapt the platform as part of the development of Tasikmalaya Smart City (mentioned further in the 4th focal point). Obviously, this can be organized through a separate Tasik App Platform Member Group. Funding can be drawn from the various Ministries involved: Education, Health, Communications, and Villages. For both local as well as international trade, the same approach can be applied to specialty products requiring a range of logistical services from packaging, cold stores and storage, to transportation and exportation. Funding for this can be found through partnerships, banks, relevant ministries and export credits. Pilot Project II B: Establishing/promoting Tasik App-based GoJek-like services The optimization of GoJek-like applications/services is a hard, non-physical infrastructure development aimed at helping the Government increase connectivity throughout rural areas in Tasikmalaya. Kokotik and Klikquick are two of the examples of local GoJek/Uber-like applications. With adequate management training, especially by GoJek itself, as well as financial support from the local transportation office (DISHUB) and other relevant institutions, these applications can be managed to facilitate the use of motorbikes, cars, and small trucks as distributors of nutritional food and beverages, transporters of urgent health care personnel and university-student-teachers or outsourced students combating malnutrition, and even mobile libraries to neighborhoods in remote areas in Tasikmalaya (apart from their usual commercial purposes). Moreover, these applications can also help connect agricultural producers with exporting facilities, such as the newly commercially functioning Wiriadinata Airport and the proposed Cikalong Port. This can lead to a dedicated Tasik App Platform Member Group for ‘GoJek-like’ services. The bankability of this project may be sufficient and is sure to attract investors and Government funding alike – particularly since this caters to a solution to the crucial effort in Tasikmalaya to stop infant malnutrition. Pilot Project II C: Cikalong Port Cikalong Port is a potential multi-stakeholder, multinational integrated project proposing to substantially improve both the agricultural and fisheries sectors. The port will pull modernization in the entire Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, with a wider positive impact on traffic jams between Bandung and Jakarta. The project aims to build a modest fishing and commercial port in Cikalong, West Java. The proposed port must be bankable and equipped with fish/vegetable/fruit processing and packaging facilities so that the port can also serve as a modest export port out of the Tasikmalaya Regency. The port must be integrated with a larger agri-infra investment project connecting Bandung to Tasikmalaya, with a maximum capacity of over 2 million TEU/year. This can serve as an export port for a multitude of products from South West Java. Several ports and banks in the EU, China and Oman have already indicated their interest to co-fund and co-manage this port project. All Tasik educational institutions must be enabled to adjust their programmes to jobs at all levels in the future port.

Third Focal Field: Public Health Today in Tasikmalaya, 41% of children are malnourished. Each of these children will grow up with underdeveloped physical and cognitive functions. Their non-optimally developed organs, including the brain and heart, will remain a disadvantage throughout their lives, and subsequently put a brake on Indonesia’s progress towards becoming the world’s 4th largest economy by 2050. The Authorities of Kota and Kabupaten Tasikmalaya have made progress in combating malnutrition; but their experts agree that the lack of further progress is caused by a lack of coordination and cooperation between all relevant health services and institutions. If all brains, experiences, sources, know-how, export products and trade were combined and holistically integrated, infant malnutrition will stop. Other serious health issues can be addressed along these lines as in paragraph 22 and 23. Pilot Project III A: Tasik App Member Group to Stop Infant Malnutrition In UMTAS and UNSIL Tasikmalaya has a pool of around 1,500 sufficiently educated human resources capable of helping the Regional Government to combat malnutrition through outsourcing the combined capacities of all public health services in Tasik. As part of their curriculum these students can periodically be assigned by their faculties to conduct field services to remote society (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) in Tasikmalaya. Their service can focus on educating and assisting low-income families regarding safe and nutritious food, personal hygiene and sanitation. Importantly, students can help administer certain products to help infants recover from malnutrition. The Tasik App Platform can create a Member Group including UNSIL and UMTAS, DINKES Kota and Kabupaten, Fatayat NU, Aisyiyah, PKK, and all existing formal regional and local health care institutions and organizations. This will be the basis for the required holistically integrated coordination and cooperation. Funding can be received from the Ministries of Health, Education and a host of international organizations, institutions and funds. UMTAS, UNSIL and PA already signed a MOU to realize this project. Several companies have already indicated their willingness to sponsor (materially) the new Outsource agency (OTIFA).

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

Pilot Program III B: Integration of Tasik App Platform Member Groups Infant Malnutrition and Infra Apart from the transport-oriented elements referred to in the paragraphs above, the sectors such as minimarts, and gasoline stations, which have branches even in the remotest area in Tasikmalaya, can also take part in combating malnutrition by providing affordable healthy food, such as fruits, supplements, life-saving RUTFs (Ready to Use Therapeutic Food) and MixMe-like products (nutritional/minerals precision-weighed powder sachets) and medicines, both for commercial or CSR purposes. Partnered with local administrations for subsidy and with agriculture producers for supplies, these minimarts can be vital actors in ensuring adequate supply of nutritious food and medicines for low-income villagers with malnutrition issues. Through cooperation with local Chambers of Commerce, this group of entrepreneurs can be added to one of the relevant Tasik App Platform Member Groups. Pilot Project III C: Support and Inclusion of (Social) Media The current ways and means to communicate effectively with families on infant malnutrition have evidently failed to work effectively. Therefore, a new effort is currently underway: A nationwide televised Sinetron project that provides key information on nutrition and health care for children without being preachy and with a high entertainment element. Cooperation with literally all stakeholders, authorities and institutions in Indonesia, in Tasik and among UNICEF and World Food Program secures public interest. The education on malnutrition brought by the sinetron and game show will stimulate the willingness of local mothers and grandmothers to engage with Health Faculty students and to buy or obtain the subsidized nutritious food, supplements, and medicines through minimarts and the ‘GoJeked’ facilities. The project’s working group now includes the Ministry of Health, UNICEF, WFP, ACF, the Millennium Challenges Account, PKK, etc. The story-line developed by Indonesia’s best script-writers already attracted Indonesia’s best actors and song-writers; the story plays in Tasik…..

Indonesia is among the largest Facebook and mobile telephone users on earth. When play-time is over, it will be understood that today almost all economic and business activities in life are digitalized and online-based. Both Government and society need to keep up with the pace of digitalization to successfully engage with future economic competition and challenges. Crucially, intense consultation and cooperation between Tasik’s educational authorities and this project approach must lead to a strong focus at the jobs and opportunities that become available through this project. Pilot Project IV A: Tasik App Platform IT Volunteer Member Group Relawan TIK (IT Volunteers) Tasikmalaya has started a program to increase the IT literacy of Tasikmalaya people, especially in Islamic boarding schools, called Santri Galau IT (Islamic Students Think IT). The empowerment of the IT volunteers of Tasikmalaya can be a foundation to develop Tasikmalaya as a Smart City. Cooperation with telecommunication and internet provider companies such as Telkomsel and technology companies such as Google and Facebook, could be made a requirement to the program. Funding can come from Internet companies and Ministries. Telkomsel already committed to establish the Tasik App Platform that – through SMS – can also be used through simple mobiles with only SMS-capacity. Pilot Project IV B: Tasik App Platform to Digitalize SMEs Tasikmalaya is known for its burgeoning SMEs, and the regional Government has tried to integrate the industry into the ASEAN and international economy by organizing the first ever Tasikmalaya Investment Expo and Conference 2016. Digitalization of SMEs in Tasikmalaya is the next step of development. KADIN Kota and Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, HIPMI (Association of Young Entrepreneurs) Tasikmalaya, and Tasik Young Entrepreneurs’ Community are several actors who have started the digitalization of SMEs among their members. Capacity building, funding, and incubation programs from local and central government, in coordination with national actors such as KIBAR (initiator of a Thousand Start-ups National Movement), will need to be established to ensure the success of the program. The Ministries of Communications and Villages, and of course, Facebook and the Gates Foundation will be requested to fund this uniquely promising project. Pilot Project IV C: 3D Printing Promoted and Organized through Tasik App Platform The worldwide 3D printing industry is expected to grow from USD$3.07 bn in revenue in 2013 to USD$12.8 bn by 2018, and exceed USD$21 bn in worldwide revenue by 2020. As it evolves, 3D printing technology is destined to transform almost every major industry and change the way we live, work, and play in the future. Surprisingly, 3D printing technology and training is relatively cheap. A simple 3D printing machine is priced as low as USD$30 and the training to operate it can be provided for free through an online knowledge-sharing platform made by 3DHubs, the biggest 3D printing company in the world. An official partnership with the company can be invaluable in introducing 3D printing technology in Tasikmalaya. Both the Regional Government services and private enterprises will potentially benefit immensely from 3D printing technology, particularly because this does not require a ‘catching up’ effort for the regional economy, while impacting on virtually any manufacturing and consumption sector. The Tasik App Platform can initiate and manage a Member Group that includes representatives from all stakeholders: Government, universities, enterprises, NGOs, as well as all social sectors. Among the deliverables for this Pilot Project is to map its value for

President Joko Widodo in his first appearance outside Indonesia presented to the world his take on Indonesia’s growth to the fourth largest economy in the world: an elaborate infrastructure program focused at sea lanes and ports.

was introduced by Ibu Nur to the Transportation Minister and on that occasion H.E. Budi requested further information on a new port in Cikalong before he could take a final decision. In the meantime, Rahman Hidayat, Director of the Infrastructure of Shipping, Fishery, and Tourism at the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Resources, added his voice of optimism to the prospect of a new port in Cikalong. His proposal to organize a roundtable for the Central, Provincial and Regional Governments to rapidly overcome the usual regulatory and other hurdles was warmly received.

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

The vision of Tasikmalaya is to become an Islamic, dynamic, and highly competitive region in the agronomy business sector, based on a village system. Previously, the term used in Kabupaten Tasikmalaya was Gerbang Desa (Gerakan Membangun Desa) or Village Development Movement, and it has successfully increased the development, welfare, and the Human Development Index (HDI) of Tasikmalayan people. Currently, we use the new term Tasik Siap or ‘Tasik is Ready’. Tasikmalaya is ready to face the competition, to confront globalization, and to embrace the ASEAN Economic Community.

Thus, we have Panca Siap or ‘Five Readinesses’. First, we are ready to implement the minimum standard that has been determined by the government. Second, we are ready to create quality human resources. Third, Tasik is ready to compete in the agrobusiness, tourism, small and medium enterprises, and creative economy sectors. Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

Tanjung Priok is overloaded, slow and expensive while the Bandung-Jakarta highway is marred by traffic jams and delays. If Bandung is opened to the south, Cikalong Port immediately obtains a vast hinterland.

And of course, the cost of constructing such ports is a fraction of that of building roads and railways through a very rough and regulatory divided landscape. The substantial demonstrations in Jakarta and the apparent radicalization of poverty-stricken communities, particularly in Java’s southern regions, are the strongest argument for the earliest construction of Cikalong Port.

bank to –10m LW ▪ Construct 200m quay

wall ▪ Flatten 50,000m² surface

for container handling and stacking

▪ Additional 200m quay wall and corresponding surface can double capacity as traffic grows

▪ The base infrastructure of the fishing harbour can be used to install a dedicated container terminal

▪ Regular container feeder service by (initially) small ships of 500 TEU capacity will offer fast connection to major regional hubs (Batam, Singapore, Port Keelang, later possibly Bojonegara/ Banten Province)

▪ Feedering into these efficient facilities will connect directly to the major East/West shipping routes, bypassing congested Tanjung Priok

▪ Via this route, a container shipped from Cikalong will reach the West-European ports (Antwerp/ Rotterdam) within 24 days of loading (in this time frame, the same container will – in best of cases - just be loaded in Tanjung Priok!)

▪ Similarly, fast connections will be offered to the East (China, Korea, Japan and US West Coast) and to the West (Indian subcontinent, Gulf area (Oman as regional hub), Mediterranean and West-European ports, US East Coast)

▪ Besides the afore-mentioned considerable gain in time, the Cikalong route feedering into a regional hub will also be much more economical: overland transport of 1 container from Tasikmalaya to Jakarta/Tanjung Priok costs 6 times the feedering of this same container from Cikalong to Singapore!

▪ This fast feeder service will be an attractive alternative export route for the industries of the Bandung area: industrialists have already expressed interest in building manufacturing facilities close to the port

▪ Another use of this container terminal will be as part of a chain of Java regional ports in the Short Sea Shipping concept: coastal marine transport around Java is far cheaper (with less damage) than overland transport. Cold storage and refrigerated containers offer cheap and reliable national distribution routes for locally produced vegetables and fruit

▪ The container terminal will offer attractive logistic solutions for products such as: ▪ From the fishing harbour:

o Fresh fish for the national market o Export of fresh fish to Japan

Technical details bulk terminal: ▪ By building 400m of extra

quay wall and flatten another 80,000 to 100,000m² of land, a bulk terminal can be added

o Export of frozen fish products to international markets o Export of high-value fish products such as oils to international markets

▪ From the immediate hinterland: o Distribution of fresh and processed vegetables and fruits to national markets o Distribution of fresh and processed vegetables and fruits to international markets

(China, Japan, Gulf States) o Focus at high value organic produce (long grain rice etc)

▪ From a larger hinterland, including particularly the Bandung area o Faster and cheaper export route for manufactured products o Relocation of Bandung industries to Cikalong Port

▪ In general, once the short sea shipping route is operational, distribution and logistics from and to the Tasikmalaya area from other parts of Java/South Sumatra will be cheaper and safer (less damage)

▪ The bulk terminal can be used for:

- Processing of locally produced iron sands and onward shipment of iron ore - Shipping of other locally produced minerals - Unloading of fertilizer in bulk for intensive agriculture in the hinterland - Possibly unloading coal for local power plant, supplying electricity for the port

activities and to connect into the South-West-Java electricity grid - Opportunity to create innovative 3D Printing facilities for many industrial purposes

and particularly for packaging using locally produced sources - Opportunity to optimally use solar/wind/tidal energy and hydropower facilities

Tasikmalaya Fresh Brains Prize Award

A poll addressed to the young people of Tasikmalaya under the age of 35 was conducted in regards to finding the most innovative and out-of-the-box solutions to malnutrition. Questionnaires were distributed to students from Universitas Siliwangi and Universitas Muhammadiyah in Tasikmalaya. The total respondents were 184 students: 91 from Universitas Siliwangi and 93 from Universitas Muhammadiyah Tasikmalaya. The best answer was rewarded the Fresh Brains Prize Award.

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

Tasik multi-stakeholder approach: our joint brains During the 5th November 2016 Multi-Stakeholder Roundtable Conference in Kota Tasikmalaya, opened by Bupati Uu of Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, all relevant regional and local institutions and NGOs in Tasikmalaya agreed to contribute to the holistically integrated agri-infra modernization through a four focal fields/12 pilot projects approach. First focus: Save infant lives With the local Universities UNSIL and UMTAS an MOU was signed to start an Outreach Therapeutical Infant Food Agency (OTIFA). With the support of Prof Dr Widjaja Lukito (PA International Foundation Board Member and former Adviser to the President) and Maria Catharina (formerly with World Food Programme) OTIFA starts working on 1 October 2017. Second focus: Modernize agriculture With the support of Dr Bayu Krisnamurthi (PA International Foundation Board Member and former Deputy Minister of Trade and of Agriculture) the agricultural modernization including optimized water management, the use of Low-Risk Biopesticides and Non-Chemical Fertilizers and the latest agri-food technologies throughout arable lands identified by Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, will be realized. As part of this, the International Biopesticides Manufacturers Association plans tests in Tasikmalaya as part of the preparations of a global biocontrol conference that will be held in Indonesia in 2018. Earlier at a high-level international conference on food safety at UNSIL the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation agreed to support agri modernization in Tasik. Third Focus: Modernize infrastructure and execute demands of President Joko Widodo The Government of President Joko Widodo has prioritized infrastructure as the key pillar for socio-economic development particularly in less developed Indonesian and Javanese regions. He reported to his inner circle that, today, 3.6% of his inhabitants own 47% of all lands. To ensure that Indonesia realizes the expectations of the world’s renowned expert organisations McKinsey and PricewaterhouseCoopers to become the world’s 4th largest economy by 2050, The Jakarta Post Editor-in-Chief at the Tasik Roundtable Multi-Stakeholder Roundtable Conference stated that Indonesia will materialize its fullest capacities as soon as the human and agri resource-rich but underdeveloped Kabupaten are enabled to use their capacities to the full. On Wednesday 19th July 2017 President Jokowi – loved by his people because of his sworn dedication to their interests – told the Indonesian Regency Administration Association (Apkasi): “This is why every region must awaken to its potential. We want to change our old ways.” The President called on the Kabupaten to cut their red tape [and thus corruption], push private enterprising, intensify contracts with foreign investors and focus at international markets. Kabupaten Tasikmalaya, according to Member of the House of Representatives Nurhayati Effendi perhaps the least developed in South West Java with 41% malnourished infants, but with an undeniable potential in terms of geostrategic location, a mouthwatering

estuarian area near Cikalong and a vast yet underdeveloped agricultural area, has managed to attract investors from the Gulf, China and The Netherlands. On the basis of a holistically integrated project with the support of Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi, Minister of Marine Affairs and Resources Luhut Pandjaitan and Presidential Adviser Suharso Monoarfa among others the following parties are developing a Memorandum of Understanding and a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV): - The Government of the Sultanate of Oman: to secure a multi-decade usufruct contract

through investment in Tasik’s agri-food production and infrastructure to cover its long-term food security/food safety

- The Port of Rotterdam, which already has a partnership with the Port of Sohar in Oman: to partner with the Republic of Indonesia (and with Oman) in both larger and smaller port projects and provide Indonesia and Oman with its unrivaled technology, know-how and networks

- The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB): to invest in and fund green infra-projects that alleviate poverty and are bankable through a long term off-take agreement

- The Indonesian Infrastructure Fund SMI that combines Indonesian and ADB funds: to help materialize the Indonesian Government’s infrastructure goals.

In the third week of November 2017 high representatives of the relevant parties are meeting in Tasikmalaya and Jakarta to prepare the required Memorandum of Understanding and the requirements for a Special Purpose Vehicle that will invest in the development of the Cikalong Port and related infrastructure projects. Fourth focus: Education and training within a green context During the November 2016 Multi-Stakeholder Roundtable Conference it was decided that the development of Cikalong Port and the surrounding food safety-oriented agricultural development will be characterized by three key elements: 1) Cikalong Port’s logistical facilities and buildings will be constructed on the basis of locally

produced bamboo. The global Institute for Bamboo and Rattan in Beijing has agreed to provide expert advice and guidance. It will cooperate with local Indonesian institutions such as ITB Bandung and with local bamboo production companies to produce and prepare the required bamboo-based construction materials

2) Local NGOs and SMEs will be encouraged, funded and assisted to produce a) high-value and safe (infant) food on the basis of bamboo shoots; b) construction materials; c) materials for confection; d) base material for bio-fuel. By integrating food and bamboo production the natural and soil protecting functions of bamboo will be optimally used

3) Education and vocational training in terms of curricula at universities, high schools, vocational training, primary schools will be re-oriented at the integrated international food production/transport/logistics/marketing chain. This will require a strong emphasis of the use of Information Technology and English. The Indonesian Telkomsel company formally agreed to establish a Tasik App Platform that will assist with this development. The Edgar Brood Academic Chair for English and Information Technology Foundation at UNSIL will continue its effort to provide Tasik University education with high-level English language training.

Fourth, we are ready to use information technology. And finally, Tasik is ready to guarantee the ease of investment. The problem of malnutrition is an important factor in the development process. Health is a standard and essential factor for the success of development. No matter how good the government’s programs are or how much the fund allocation is, as long as the nutrition of the people is bad, the programs will not succeed maximally. I would like to thank all the speakers and the participants for coming here, notably the

Ambassador of the Kingdom of Belgium, whose country is interested to work with and in Tasikmalaya. My hope is that this conference would breed benefits and good things. May God bless us all. H. Uu Ruzhanul Ulum Bupati of the Regency of Tasikmalaya

otonomi Kabupaten tidak menggunakan kapasitasnya secara maksimal. Pada Rabu, 19 Juli 2017, Presiden Jokowi mengatakan pada Apkasi (Asosiasi Pemerintah Kabupaten Seluruh Indonesia), “Ini adalah salah satu alasan mengapa setiap daerah harus mengembangkan potensial masing-masing. Kita harus mengubah cara lama kita terutama dalam memaksimalkan pelayanan publik, mengurangi korupsi, mendorong pengusaha swasta, membangun kontrak dengan investor asing serta fokus pada pasar internasional”. Nurhayati Effendi ( Anggota DPR Republik Indonesia) menyatakan bahwa 41% anak di daerah Selatan Jawa Barat mengalami kurang gizi. Meskipun begitu, kawasan ini memiliki banyak potensi yang telah mampu menarik investor asing dari Negara Teluk, Cina, dan Belanda antara lain, lokasi yang geostrategis, daerah muara Cikalong yang merupakan daerah subur, serta area pertanian yang luas.

OUR JOINT BRAINS: HIGH-LEVEL ROUNDTABLE CONFERENCE FOREWORD

Whatever problem we may have, the Tasik people can resolve it. All the brains required to resolve issues on our way to success are here. Pak Bupati presents clear signals, ideas, plans and programs. They are the key to success.

Religion is the door to rapid socio-political development. I asked my revered friend Prof Ahmad Syafii Maarif, former Chairman of Muhammadiyah: How can we combine all the power in the mosques, all the goodwill, all the prayers, all our brains into lifting all of us up and creating the real reason why Indonesia will grow to become the world’s fourth largest economy by

2050 – right after the US, China, and India. “That simply requires cooperation, at all levels”, he said. And he delegated Muhammadiyah’s Secretary General to help us do this. Indeed. Cooperation translates wishful thinking into practical results. What does that mean for all of us? A change of mindset and eating habits, said Pak Abdul Mu’ti. So now we know what to do.

The condition for success is the togetherness of our brains. Allah gave us brains. Brains are without limit. There is nothing that can stop brains to create as brains are created and motivated by Allah. And if those brains are combined, Belgian Ambassador Herman is right: Indonesia’s road to 2050 starts here, in Tasik. OK, we have 41% malnourished children. That can and must be changed.

Not one life should be lost just because we did not integrate and we did not cooperate. That’s why we’re all here.

We represent all different elements in the entire food chain. Everybody here brings in one element of a picture – one piece of a puzzle – which is going to look beautiful even before 2050. By then, our children will be in leading positions in Indonesia’s leading economy. No more hunger and poverty. No more mothers with children in their arms that cannot walk of hunger. Wealth will be shared by all layers of society and so money will be invested in a stable, healthy and forward-looking society. The investors will be even more happy: a Return on Investment that wets anybody’s appetite.

So Tasik is about our successor generation. What our children use by 2050 will be jointly built by all of us here today. But building is no longer a matter of bricks and mortar. We can use locally produced Bamboo. Bandung’s ITB together with INBAR – the bamboo science center in Beijing – will guide us to low cost-high performance. Bamboo also produces rich food, furniture and biofuel.

Rio Praaning Prawira Adiningrat: “Our joint brains - Tasik’s holistically integrated agri-infra modernization approach”

Mr Endang concludes that Kota Tasikmalaya is indeed facing a complex problem of malnutrition—stunting, wasting, and obesity—and we need to change the mindset of people to become more ‘preventive’, and to strenghten the infrastructure. He strongly promotes multi-stakeholder coordination and cooperation.

Yes, Indonesia can become the world’s 4th largest economy by 2050; but today Indonesia is ranked among the lowest in almost all key categories, e.g. ports, roads, railroads and ground transportation networks. Tasikmalaya is even worse. Tasikmalaya is among the poorest cities and regencies in West Java. So Tasik’s strategic location and natural wealth requires a wake-up call in Jakarta.

Ir Bambang Susanto Priyohadi, Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Resources Dr Rizal Ramli On ‘Infrastructure Development Needs in Tasikmalaya’

PRESENTATION

Ir Bambang Susanto Priyohadi, MA

1. We need to develop a port in Cikalong, Tasikmalaya • West Java doesn’t take serious in developing the South-South Link, which was once became a

national concern, that will connect the East to the West part of Java through the South Lines. • Within the South-South Link, we see that those are the location of core activities where it can be

developed. • There are abundant sources of fishes in the southern part of Java, for example Tuna, that are

being taken away by other region’s fisher instead of Tasik’s fishermen. • The upper part of Java is becoming poor area, 400 fishermen from northern part of Java were

being moved to Natuna, in the other hand, the southern Java needs more fishermen. • It is also important to have control in regards to many issues related to drugs trafficking and

illegal immigrants that happenned in the southern area. • Why Cikalong, not Pangandaran? Because the sedimentation level in Pangandaran is getting

higher and higher which would be a waste to develop a port there

Pak Bambang reveals that the Central Government already develops plans to open up South Java’s economy through new ports and roads. He says the Cikalong Port development has a huge potential in export activities that will boost the local and national economy. He emphasizes that the development of Tasikmalaya should be holistically integrated, starting from the port, connected to each village through the main road, and also reaching the new airport that will open soon.

2. Wiriadinata airport• The airport has a potential to export goats from West Java to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.• 1 antonov plane could carry about 254 goats from West Java to Kuala Lumpur in just 2

hours. It will never be more effective and the more important thing is the goats are still fresh and away from stress so the selling price will be much higher.

• We have done this in another region, and have successfully competed with Australia.• Suggestion on exporting a cross breeds of Bur and Etawa goats which have a higher

quality and higher price in the market

3. Improve the infrastructure from villages to the port• Poor condition of the main roads from the farm to the market is still become the main

problem• Improvement on the infrastructure connecting the port to the local village, and also to the

airport for a holistically integrated industry.

✓ Cikalong Port is the key determination of Tasik’s better future, also for Indonesia, so the development of this port should be accelerated and the Government’s attention is needed.

✓ Cikalong Port should be an Eco-Friendly port, which means it doesn’t use any material that will harm the environment

✓ The development of this port should be followed by the development of another industrial activities to make a holistically integrated eco-friendly industrial park in Tasikmalaya
