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.

Abstract

Objective: 1) To identify priority areas with Ciamis Regency that have comparative and competitive advantages 2) Availability of forages in prime priority areas.Methods: The material used cattle population data from BPS Ciamis Regency from 2016–2020. Panel data, which combines secondary data and cross-section data, were employed in this study. First, data analysis uses LQ and shift-share analysis, and two, it uses the carrying capacity of forage availability and the carrying capacity index.Results: Regional economic research results show that six sub-districts provide a comparative and competitive basis for superior commodities, namely Banjarsari, Lakbok, Cijeunjing, Cisaga, Rajadesa, and Baregbeg. These five sub-districts (Cimaragas, Sukadana, Panjalu, Panumbangan, and Sindangkasih) cannot be a base for cattle commodities but can be used as a base for other livestock. The study's findings indicate that forage is available, and the carrying capacity index forage availability has an IDD value of>2 SAFE. The Ciamis Regency has a secure green supply for expanding herds of beef cattle and can even export to other areas.Conclusions: The local government of Ciamis Regency must consider these six sub-districts an excellent commodity base, comparatively and competitively, with the carrying capacity of forage in safe conditions. The local government of Ciamis Regency must increase the number of livestock populations not only in production but also start opening up potential and conservative land for the development of grass cultivation, for example, by utilizing forest land for grass cultivation.
