On average, Indonesia is scarce in agricultural land at just 0.23 ha per capita, which represents only a third of the world’s average, similar to Italy and Germany, below China and above India (WB WDI, 2012). But it is relatively abundant in renewable water resources at 8.5 thousand m3/capita/year, slightly less than the United States, but four times more than China and eight times more than India (FAO Aquastat, 2012). Although the contribution of agriculture to GDP has fallen from 19% in 1990 to 15% in 2010 and its share in total employment from 56% to 38% over the same period, the sector continues to provide employment to about 42 million persons. Improvements in labour productivity have increased at roughly the same pace as total production, with the result that total employment in agriculture has remained relatively stable. In the countries with strongest growth in labour productivity, such as China and Malaysia, employment in the sector has tended to fall. This is not yet the case in Indonesia.
