蘭印経済史の先行研究は強制栽培制度とそれに引き続く自由主義経済を異質で断絶したものと捉える傾向が強く、そのため植民地期北スラウェシでも、強制栽培制度下のコーヒー生産とその後の時期に農民主導で行われたココヤシ生産は非常に断絶したものと考えられていた。それに対し本研究は、これらの産品の生産が密接に連関していたことを明らかにした。そのことは、コーヒー強制栽培制度が浸透したことによってコーヒー生産地でココナツへの需要が高まったこと、コーヒー輸送のために整備された道路や牛車がココナツ運搬にも利用されたこと、コーヒー栽培を契機に土地の個人所有が進み、後にココヤシ栽培にも利用されたことから確かめられる。
In colonial North Sulawesi, coffee was produced under the Cultivation System, while coconuts were cultivated on the spontaneous will of local people. Previous studies have understood that they were produced under very different economic systems, reflecting a general trend to understand the Cultivation System and the following liberal economy as very different and discontinued phases. This research, however, argues that the production of these two cash crops were strongly related to each other, from the following reasons. Early demand for coconuts emerged from the coffee-producing region; Roads and other transportation facilities were organized under the Cultivation System for the smooth transportation of coffee, but transporters made use of them for coconuts; people came to possess lands individually and exclusively through coffee cultivation, and they later made use of their lands for coconut cultivation.
