In 1964, faced with the fundamental problem of population growth that was substantially more rapid than the growth of food production, and moved for reasons of nationalism to strive for self-sufficiency, Indonesia gambled on a home-grown solution: the BIMAS program.' In the short space of three years, a small-scale pilot project was transformed into a unitedfront assault on traditional patterns of rice production in virtually every rice-growing district in the nation. Although the success of the program to date has not been extraordinary, it is worth examining both as a type of approach to the basic problem of agricultural transformation, and as an example of Indonesia's capacity to undertake programs of national development
