the GDP of Indonesia. A productive cut flower
industry could provide additional economic
strength into the process of industrialization in the
21st century. The government policy on
horticulture development is directed to:
- stimulate investment and create opportunity in
the horticultural sector, based on agribusiness
orientation;
- reduce the sharp price fluctuation in order to
maintain economic stability;
- reduce import and increase export, to raise
foreign exchange earnings;
- create job opportunities and increase community
income;
- fulfill the demand for beauty, harmony and

In the sixth Five Year Development Programme
(Pelita VI), expected contribution from
horticultural commodities to Product Domestic
Bruto is 6.1 percent and growth of horticultural
production is 5 percent per year (Repelita VI
Pertanian, 1992). Approaches in the Second Long
Term Development Plan for the horticultural
sector will be focused on agribusiness orientation
which is modern, economically efficient and
sustainable.
2. Present Situation of Cut Flower Production
Production centers of cut flower and ornamental
plants have mostly developed on the basis of
climatological and soil conditions and their
distance from larger cities. Main production
centres at present are:Due to the lack of statistical
information, it is difficult to obtain figures about
total area cultivated, production and productivity.
For development purposes it is necessary to keep
track of these data as is done for other horticultural
crops. The most important cities with regard to
existing flower and ornamental sales as well as
growing of orchids and ornamental plants are:
Java : Jakarta, Bandong, Semarang, Malang
and Surabaya
Sumatera :
Medan
Bali : Denpasar
Sulawesi :
West Jakarta
Ujung Pandang
The main features of the production centers for
flowers and ornamental plants in Indonesia are
described here under:
Jakarta (Jabotabek)
In general, every large city has its own orchid
gardens which supply its own consumers. In
Jakarta however, due to a scarcity of land and high
price, orchid growers make investments outside
Jakarta, for example in Tanggerang, Bogor and
Bekasi. Estimates of a 1993 census by DKI Jakarta
reveal that a total of 102 hectares were cultivated
under orchids and ornamental plants. Of this, 73
percent or 75 ha were in use for orchids. Orchid
genera mostly grown by Jakarta growers are
Dendrobium, Vanda, Arachnis, Oncidium,
Phalaenopsis and Cattleya.
Major production areas of orchids in Jakarta are:
: Kebon Jeruk, Grogol and Cengkareng
South Jakarta : Kebayoran Lama, Cilandak, Lebak
Bulus and Pasar Minggu
East Jakarta : Jatinegara, Kramat Jati, Pulo
Gadung, Pasar Rebo and Pondok Gede
