The Timor Leste Agriculture Policy Bank

timor leste flag

In Timor Leste, agriculture is the main activity, providing subsistence to an estimated 80% of the population.

It also generates an average of 90% of the exports, mainly due to coffee.

Most farmers practice subsistence farming, planting and harvesting what they need for a simple life-style, collecting wild foods and traditional medicines.

There are almost no large scale farms except for missions. Today there is need for food security to be attained in the whole country.

The Agriculture Rehabilitation Programme is trying to restore the irrigation schemes for rice and rural roads, and Cooperativa Café Timor and others have been sponsoring the rebirth of the coffee sector.

    Three mutually reinforcing imperatives drive this strategy development process. The first is the strategic management of MAF; the second is ensuring that MAF’s strategies, priorities, and activities are consistent with the National Strategic Development Plan (SDP) 2011-2030; and the third is the urgent need to increase public funding for Timor-Leste’s agriculture sector, which is very low by international standards and has stagnated over the last 3-4 years.

    The Strategic Development Plan provides a vision for Timor-Leste that builds on the foundations we have laid down since 2002. It is informed by, and incorporates, the vision of the Timorese people in ‘Timor-Leste 2020, Our Nation Our Future’ which formed the basis of the 2002 National development Plan. It also reflects the views of the thousands of Timorese people who contributed to the national consultation on the Summary Strategic Development Plan, From Conflict to Prosperity, in 2010.
