Population Commitment

Over 15% (= 39.33 million) of Indonesias 259 million people are farmers Most of Indonesias farmers grow rice

The income of average Indonesian farmers is less than $3/day; while 48% of them live in poverty on less than $1.25/day

Production

Indonesia produced approximately 65.39 million tons of rice in 2011

Current Disposal

Following bi-annual harvest, the husk and stalk remain; Indonesian rice cultivation produces over 100m tons of this byproduct

Though in some areas, some stalk is fed to animals, the majority of stalk is burned
Farmers burn rice stalk to clear paddy; this represents a health hazard to individuals in the area and a waste of potential energy

The Bibit press enables point-of-harvest processing of rice byproduct into highdensity pellets that enable efficient, low-cost transportation to the digester site The Bibit press was designed with the following objectives:
1. Simplicity: easy to use by anyone in the family with minimal training, does not require fuel or electricity

2. Durability: long-lasting, can be left outdoors without issue

3. Affordability: existing units built for less than $50. Can be manufactured in China for ~$25

Consistent supply of rice biofuel is essential for successful power generation; there are two challenges to successfully building this supply chain
Transportation Farmer Participation in Supply Chain

Fermentation and energy production may occur some distance from rice farming Transporting unprocessed rice stalk is logistically unfeasible because of volume

As rice production in Indonesia is done by small-holders, thousands of family farmers will be integral members of the supply chain

Bibit Foundation has found solutions to both of these issues

Profit from sale of fuel pellets made with the Bibit Foundation press can increase family income by 36% increase in household income for many farmers

5.000

The average farmer with .4ha paddy can produce 2.8 tonnes stalk from each harvest

Annual Income (IDR 1,000)

4.000

3.000

This stalk can be processed into 5 cubic meters of biopellets for each harvest, or 13 cubic meters yearly
If Bibit Foundation purchases biopellets from farmers at 200,000 IDR/t, the average farmer can yield an additional 1.4M IDR per year

Option 2: Engage Rice Mills or RPC Contract Rice Mill or RPC to collect pellets + Use previously established supply chain - Will still need Association or Cooperative to ensure pellet production and help with training

Option 1: Engage Association or Cooperative Work with Association or Cooperative leadership to implement pelletization program training, encourage processing, and aggregate pellets + Training + Potential for many families to share a press

Bibit Foundation is currently building relationships with both of these points in the supply chain

Association/Cooperative
Kelompok Petani (30 farmers)

MUK collects 20-30 farmers and get together into a KelompokPetani Provides loan (e.g. 2 jt) to each member of the group at the beginning of the planting season Farmer uses loan to rent paddy, buy fertilizer, etc MUK provides 3-4 trainings to each group at the beginning of the planting season MUKs mission is to help increase farmer livelihoods through extension of microloans and other nonfinancial programming

Kelompok Petani (30 farmers)

BIBIT FOUNDATION

Bibit Foundation could partner with MUK to distribute presses to each of the groups (could be shared by a few families) MUK would then include training on how to process pellets in already scheduled group training MUK has ongoing relationships with these farmers and could be a good resource to gain acceptance of the program by farmers

Health: burning rice stalk produces large amounts of smoke, that can be harmful to the respiratory health of farmers and their families

By providing farmers with a profitable alternative to burning rice byproduct, famers and their families can reduce risk of respiratory ailments

Ecology: farmers local environments benefit from recycling rather than burning rice byproduct

The Bibit press has been field tested by several farmers in Indonesia

Bibit Foundation will help farmers with the fertilizer issue

One of the reasons why the farmers burn the rice husks and stalks is because they believe that this will fertilize the land
STEP 1: Make the farmers understand that, scientifically, partial or incomplete burning of the rice husk will cause air pollution (smoggy air)

HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS?

STEP 2: Educate the farmers on how rice husk is not as effective as manure when it comes to fertilizing the soil STEP 3: Give the farmers some choices and offer to provide the necessary and supplementary fertilizer
