Field handbook • Scientific and Technical Department Main problems encountered by the families during the implementation of their activity. 19% of those interviewed faced problems during the implementation of their activity while 81% faced no problem at all. The same problems are recurrent but are more numerous in the Moslem community (6 problems faced instead of 5 in the Christian community). The main problems were: High prices of raw materials (food, petrol…) (26%), lack of items to launch the activity properly (17%), difficulty to sell due to competition on the market (14%). Bad accessibility and problem of skills have been reported but are very isolated cases. <strong>Income</strong> generated All the activities monitored are generating incomes but differences between communities can be observed and not all the families or groups interviewed had generated incomes at the time of the interviews. 75% of those interviewed generated an income, at least once, since the distribution, while 25% were not able to have incomes yet. Monthly income generated per activity (in Rupiahs) -Individual activities- Activity Christian Average Moslem Average 1 BAKSO SELLER 60,000 2 CAKE MAKER 455,000 153,333 3 CARPENTER 183,333 4 ELECTRONIC SERVICE 30,000 5 ES CENDOL 150,000 6 FARMING 66,500 216,667 7 FISHING (INDIVIDU) 15,000 128,333 8 FRIED CAKE 175,000 9 OIL PROCESSING 80,000 10 SELLING FOOD 145,000 11 TAILOR 175,000 Average 154,139 138,542 The average monthly income, all activities considered, is different between Christians (142,758 Rupiahs) and Moslems (128,030 Rupiahs). INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES: A KEY CONCEPT IN SUSTAINABLE FOOD SECURTIY 207
➔ Differences in incomes generated per activity may be noted. The Cake maker activity is the most interesting one in terms of income which may reach 455,000 Rupiahs per month, compared to the fishing activity or the oil processing (with respectively 15,000 and 80,000 Rupiahs per month). The incomes may vary as well from one month to another. The level of activity and the time spent working is also to be taken into consideration: for the fishing activity for example, the number of fishing sessions and the time spent for each may largely increase the fish harvest and thus the incomes. Some families did not have incomes yet at the time of the monitoring but were optimistic to obtain some in the future. Monthly income generated per activity (in Rupiahs) –Group activities- (for one family) Activity Christian Average Moslem Average 1 CARPENTER 337,500 2 FISHING 180,000 3 MASON 60,000 4 SAGOO PROCESSING MACHINE 42,500 5 COCONUT SCRAPING MACHINE 125,000 Average 155,000 125,000 The group activities concern mainly the Christian community. The incomes generated are quite low in general. Group kits such as fishing or coconut scraping machines are more used in order to have a better access to food than to incomes. The carpenter group was used in some villages to rebuild the houses rather than to produce and sell furniture. <strong>Income</strong> impact per activity Level of impact Low impact
