Smuggling and cocoa adoption by migrants. The fascinating case of Sebatic island, Indonesia
As in most cocoa stories in the world, the factors of local rapid cocoa adoption in the Indonesian part of Sebatic island are clearly related to migration factors. Far from being driven only by price factors, this migration led an unplanned but ideal combination of free access to forest land and almost free access to cocoa information. This land/information combination triggered migrations and the local cocoa boom, which is a very classical rule in cocoa stories. With regards to the information factor, the network of ex-members of an uprising played a major role. Neighbouring Malaysian estates also provided experience and skills which were complementary to decisions to migrate to the Sebatic Island in Indonesia. Although generally unvoluntarily and against their wishes, Malaysian estates accelerated cocoa adoption in the main Sebatic island (and from there also in Sulawesi and other parts of Indonesia). Then, beyond the combination of land and information obtained through migration, price peaks accelerated the movement. The copying effect also showed its impact. However, it played more on the search for land than on cocoa adoption in itself. To a large extent, that seemingly very specific story fits a more universal pattern of most cocoa booms during the last four centuries. Although a non central point in that survey, it is also mentioned that the Economic boom of Sabah in the 1970s enormously benefitted from the Sulawesi uprising story.
