Mujiono, 35, a pepper farmer in Tanggamus, Lampung, checks his plants on Wednesday (21/3). The area of pepper plantations in Lampung has decreased due to the declining pepper prices over the past two years. The price of pepper in 2016 was Rp 110,000 per kilogram. Now, farmers can only sell pepper at Rp 40,000 per kg. Farmers also have to deal with diseases attacking the plants.

The headline of this daily on Monday (26/3) was "Research Key to Success". The article reported that research-based innovation was still minimal.

The minimal research in various major commodities, such as pepper, cassava and coffee, has caused Indonesia\'s productivity to lose out to other countries. For example, Indonesia dominated the world pepper export market until 2013. Today, the world pepper market is dominated by Vietnam, which had learned the trade from Indonesia prior to 1980.
