INACON demonstrates extensive experience in agricultural development, agribusiness and value chain strengthening, fisheries, forestry, and coastal and marine resource management, implemented primarily in Indonesia and Cambodia with support from ADB, IFAD, the World Bank, national financial institutions, and government partners. Our work integrates technical design, policy reform, institutional strengthening, and community-based implementation to promote inclusive, climate-resilient, and environmentally sustainable rural development.

In agriculture and agribusiness, INACON has supported integrated farming and value chain investments that improve productivity, resilience, and market access for smallholders. Key engagements include the Horticulture Development in Dryland Areas Project (HDDAP), which combined climate-adaptive infrastructure, improved on-farm practices, and value chain development, and Cambodia’s Agricultural Value Chain Competitiveness and Safety Enhancement Project (ACSEP), which strengthened agricultural cooperatives, contract farming, food safety certification, and partnerships between farmers and agro-enterprises, with strong emphasis on gender inclusion and technology adoption.

In addition to providing services to the development of a big oil palm company such as SINAR MAS in the first decade of its formation, particularly during the economic crisis (1998-1999) 2000, PT INACON Luhur Pertiwi has been providing independent monitoring services to a leading Indonesian national bank since 2023, overseeing the use of bank financing by private companies for the development of smallholder (plasma) oil palm plantations, new commercial estates, including the development of palm oil factories. INACON’s assignment covers approximately 32,500 hectares of plantations across Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Kalimantan, demonstrating the firm’s capability in plantation development oversight, financial accountability, and compliance with banking and sustainability requirements in the oil palm sector.

INACON has a strong track record in agricultural policy, information systems, and evidence-based planning, including development of GIS-based food crop databases, crop modelling systems, seed system development, extension reform, and farmer empowerment programs. Policy and strategic studies on agro-based industry restructuring and commodity processing—covering oil palm, cocoa, rubber, and fisheries—have supported regulatory reform, competitiveness, and private sector participation.

In fisheries, coastal, marine, and forestry development, INACON delivers integrated solutions that link scientific assessment, participatory planning, and community-based economic development. Our services include coastal and marine resource assessments, soil and land suitability surveys, GIS-based inventories, socio-economic and fisheries studies, and preparation of master plans for coastal ecosystems, small islands, and forestry development. At the community level, we promote diversified livelihoods through farming system design, coastal agriculture and aquaculture, women-led fishery product enterprises, and small-scale natural resource management initiatives.

Environmental sustainability is strengthened through mangrove rehabilitation, coral reef protection, forest and land fire control, and ecosystem-based management, complemented by training, extension services, and demonstration activities for fishermen groups, women’s cooperatives, and local institutions.

Collectively, INACON’s engagements contribute to poverty reduction, food security, rural employment, and improved resilience, while strengthening governance of natural resources and supporting inclusive and sustainable economic development aligned with national priorities and donor strategies.
