Taiwan exhibits more consistent DEA efficiency due to robust technology integration, while Indonesia's DEA results are more heterogeneous but evolving positively. Comparative DEA studies are key for cross-national learning and crafting sustainability-driven STM strategies.
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) serves as a vital tool for evaluating the efficiency of agricultural producers, particularly in contrasting contexts like Taiwan and Indonesia. This analysis highlights the differences in farm productivity and efficiency, influenced by factors such as technology adoption and specialization in crop production. The following sections delve into the specific applications and findings of DEA in these two countries.
A study on 279 farmers' cooperatives in Taiwan utilized a multi-activity DEA model, revealing insights into efficiency across various agricultural activities. The results indicated a need for enhanced inter-firm networking and consolidation to improve overall performance (Chen et al., 2009). Taiwan's agricultural sector has shown significant technical efficiency, attributed to the adoption of advanced agricultural practices and technologies, which contrasts with trends observed in other regions (Arnade, 1994).
DEA Applications in Indonesia: DEA can be applied to assess the efficiency of farms producing a variety of crops. The challenge lies in the specialization of outputs, which can complicate the discrimination of efficiency (Atici & Podinovski, 2015). The agricultural sector in Indonesia has faced declining multifactor productivity, often due to insufficient technology adoption compared to developed nations (Arnade, 1994). In contrast, while Taiwan's agricultural sector benefits from advanced technology and cooperative structures, Indonesia's agricultural efficiency is hindered by lower technology adoption and diverse production challenges. This disparity highlights the importance of developing tailored strategies in agricultural management across diverse contexts.
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) serves as a vital tool for evaluating the efficiency of agricultural practices in Taiwan and Indonesia, particularly in the context of strategic technology management and sustainability. By comparing decision-making units (DMUs) within these countries, DEA can identify the best practices and areas for improvement, ultimately guiding resource allocation and technology adoption.
Efficiency Measurement by DEA evaluates the relative efficiency of DMUs by comparing them against the best performers, rather than an average, which allows for a more precise identification of inefficiencies (Gstach, 2012). The input-oriented DEA framework can measure economic, environmental, and ecological efficiencies, revealing significant opportunities for enhancing sustainability in agricultural production (Hoang & Alauddin, 2012). Strategic technology management, with the intersection form of the DEA production possibility set, provides a new perspective for analyzing DMUs, facilitating better resource allocation and strategic adjustments in agricultural practices (Wei & Yan, 2010). Incorporating decision-maker preferences into DEA models can further refine efficiency assessments, aligning them with specific sustainability goals (Caprio et al., 2020). Comparative Insights: The application of DEA in Taiwan and Indonesia can highlight differences in agricultural efficiency and sustainability practices, potentially leading to tailored strategies that leverage each country's unique strengths and challenges. While DEA offers robust insights into efficiency and sustainability, it is essential to recognize its limitations. For instance, DEA may not always capture the full complexity of agricultural systems, necessitating complementary approaches for a comprehensive analysis.

Clustering analysis indicates diverse perceptions within the agricultural community regarding these technologies, which can significantly impact their adoption and effectiveness (Akhmetkyzy et al., 2024). Agro-Clusters and Knowledge Transfer: The development of agricultural clusters promotes knowledge transfer and enhances competitiveness. These clusters are linked to improved export performance and resilience in agri-food systems, demonstrating their importance in strategic technology management (Coman et al., 2024). Innovation Processes: The framework emphasizes the need for innovative approaches in agricultural technology, ensuring that research aligns with market needs and societal impact, thereby fostering a robust ecosystem for agricultural development (Alocilja, 2024).
While these thematic areas provide a comprehensive view of strategic technology management, it is also essential to consider the challenges faced by farmers, such as economic constraints and limited access to resources, which can hinder the adoption of sustainable practices (Akhmetkyzy et al., 2024). Taiwan Clusters emphasize high-tech innovation, environmental foresight, and policy-driven R&D. Indonesia Clusters highlight sustainability through entrepreneurship, agroforestry, and community-focused strategies.
The bibliometric analysis of foresight policy design for strategic technology management in agricultural sustainability reveals distinct trends and challenges in Taiwan and Indonesia. Both countries emphasize the integration of sustainable practices, yet their approaches and research landscapes differ significantly. This analysis highlights key aspects of their respective strategies.
Research trends and focus areas: in Taiwan, the bibliometric analysis indicates a strong focus on technology foresight systems, emphasizing the need for quantitative data to support policy formulation. Key areas include biogas, biotech remediation, and low-carbon agriculture (Pavesi et al., 2024; Lee et al., 2012). Research in Indonesia centers focus on agroecology, organic farming, and precision agriculture, addressing environmental and social challenges while ensuring food security (Sutiharni et al., 2024). The analysis also identifies collaboration networks among researchers, enhancing interdisciplinary approaches (Sutiharni et al., 2024). Policy implications in Taiwan: Integration of green technologies are crucial, with policies aimed at fostering strategic planning and interdisciplinary collaboration (Pavesi et al., 2024; Lee et al., 2012). Indonesia's policies prioritize food security, emphasizing collaboration among stakeholders and the advancement of food technology to address agricultural challenges (Maulana et al., 2024).
While both countries prioritize sustainable agriculture, Taiwan's approach leans towards technological foresight, whereas Indonesia emphasizes collaborative policy frameworks to tackle immediate food security issues. This divergence reflects their unique agricultural contexts and sustainability challenges. The bibliometric analysis of foresight policy design for strategic technology management in agricultural sustainability reveals distinct trends and challenges in Taiwan and Indonesia. Both countries emphasize the integration of sustainable practices, yet their approaches and research landscapes differ significantly. This analysis highlights key aspects of their respective strategies.
CONCLUSION
This comparative analysis reveals distinct national strategies in how Taiwan and Indonesia approach agricultural sustainability through strategic technology management and foresight policy design. While both countries recognize agriculture as central to sustainability and national development, their trajectories differ in technological orientation, policy depth, and socio-environmental integration. Taiwan emphasizes technology foresight, smart farming, and precision agriculture, driven by high investment in research and development (R&D) and effective governmental coordination. Policy frameworks are tightly integrated with innovation ecosystems, often involving academia, research institutions, and the private sector. Taiwan's strategic approach focuses on resilience to climate change, efficient land use, and enhancing productivity through data-driven precision technologies. Socio-Economic and Ecological Focus: Indonesia’s strategy is rooted in community empowerment, green entrepreneurship, and the enhancement of agricultural SMEs. Foresight policy design is emerging but currently lacks the systemic institutional integration seen in Taiwan. Emphasis is placed on agroforestry, food system resilience, and the circular economy, reflecting the country's socio-ecological diversity and development priorities. Both countries offer valuable models for strategic planning; Taiwan demonstrates how high-tech innovation can be systematically embedded in national sustainability agendas. Indonesia demonstrates how inclusive, bottom-up strategies can drive equitable green transformation. For future convergence, Indonesia could benefit from institutionalizing foresight and linking it with R&D systems, while Taiwan might consider greater community engagement and grassroots innovation channels to enhance inclusive growth.
