Indonesia is the third largest cocoa producer in the world after Ivory Coast and the Ghana. Cocoa is strongly considered as an essential commodity. It plays two strategic roles in Indonesian economy. Firstly, cocoa provides export earnings, and secondly, it gives a source of employment for millions of rural smallholders household. However, a number of such policies are implemented by the Indonesian government as oil prices and interest rates, as a controversial issue in the country. These policies are strongly debated and hypothesized to affect the Indonesia cocoa exports and production. By employing an Econometric Time Series Model, this research part analyzes (1) the factors responsible for the Indonesia cocoa demand, (2) assessing the impact of oil prices and interest rates policies on Indonesia cocoa exports and production. To end up, the estimation of the model used 2SLS Method by disaggregating the cocoa production regions into four provinces, namely South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, Center Sulawesi and East Java. The main findings of the research reveals that ; (1) Indonesia cocoa demand is influenced by the Indonesia cocoa price, wage in industrial sector, per capita income and oil prices, (2) an oil prices increasing policy indeed has substantially negative impacts to decrease the Indonesia cocoa exports and production, while interest rates decreasing policy could be expected in increasing the export and production. This is a principal reason why we are offering a subsidy policy on both oil prices and interest rates for the cocoa smallholders in the country.
