This administrative system had an important influence on the governing principles of the Dutch colonial government in the latter half of the 19th century. The system of coffee cultivation which used corvée labor was dominant in the Priangan Highlands and the system continued to produce considerable profit for the colonial government. The Governor-General Van den Bosch introduced the Cultivation System, a revision of the system called the Priangan system, to the rest of Java in 1830. This brought huge profits to the Netherlands. This paper argues that the colonial government realized stability and regularity of coffee cultivation and transportation through the implementation of the following policies: (1) acceptance of the total amount of coffee production from the people at a low but stable price every year at the same place; (2) a stable supply of rice for the corvée workers, especially by constructing irrigation systems; and (3) regularization of inland transportation for the people and incentives for coffee transporters, i.e. a return cargo.}, pages = {1--14}, title = {The Genesis of Local Dutch East Indian Administration : The Priangan Highlands in West Java, 1740-1830}, volume = {50}, year = {2019} }
