Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the potential for cattle business development in Indramayu Regency. The research locations selected using purposive sampling method were based on the following criteria: (1) Indramayu Regency is the 2nd largest rice producers in the Province of West Java, (2) The area covers 2,099.42 km2 based on secondary data obtained from BPS Indramayu Regency in numbers and (3) The area of agricultural land is still larger than the area of resident housing. The data analysis method used the carrying capacity index (IDD) and Location Question (LQ) analysis formulas. The data were processed and explained descriptively. The results of this study resulted in carrying capacity values consisting of 3 patterns, namely the highest carrying capacity value > 20,000 AU (Gantar and Terisi). Medium carrying capacity value > 10,000 AU (Cikedung and Gabuswetan). Low value carrying capacity 5.000-10.000 AU (Haurgelis, Suyeg, Juntiyuat, Bongdua, Kertasemaya, Patrol, Kedokanbunder and Sindang). The results of the analysis of IDD > 2 there are 12 sub-districts, meaning that based on the availability of forage feed from agricultural land, it is included in the safe category to increase the population of beef cattle. The potential for beef cattle development in Indramayu Regency needs to be prioritized in 12 sub-districts with LQ > 1 and IDD > 2 accompanied by government policies to support investment in livestock marketing facilities and infrastructure for smallholders.

Abstract

The maintenance of beef cattle in Indonesia is mainly carried out by smallholder farmers, so to meet national demand, the beef cattle population needs to increase. While the government-initiated programs to increase e cattle population are many, studies to analyze smallholder farmers’ interest in improving their cattle size remain limited. This study aims to analyze factors influencing the interests of smallholder farmers in improving their beef cattle business. The variables were farmers’ age, gender, education level, family size, land ownership, beef cattle ownership, monthly income level, and cattle breed. The potential obstacles farmers faced to increasing their beef cattle business were investigated. Conducted in Blora, Grobogan, Kebumen, Klaten, and Rembang Regencies, Central Java Province, this study purposively selected 287 beef cattle farmers aged 15-24 years as study respondents. The collected data were then subjected to binary logistic regression analysis using Stata 16. The findings showed that farmers’ motivation to increase the population of cattle they raised was influenced by their age and monthly income. The older the farmers, the less probable they were interested in improving their business. Farmers earning >IDR 1,000,000.00-3,000,000.00 per month showed a probability of interest in increasing their business by growing the beef cattle population.
