Beef Cattle Farm Development Policies to Overcome Beef Distribution Problem in Indonesia: A Literature Review

Abstract

This study aims to formulate policy solutions to the distribution of beef in Indonesia by using a descriptive approach relying on secondary data obtained from various state agencies as well as relevant previous studies literature. This study seeks to address the question as to how to formulate ideal livestock policies to help boost beef production and distribution in Indonesia. The focus of the discussion includes the nature of the policies i.e., beef cattle farm development policies, previous empirical studies and alternative beef cattle farm development policies in Indonesia. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative analysis drawing on the analytical synthesis method, while tool matrix data were used to present the data involved in this study. This study shows that the current livestock policies are helping to improve beef production and distribution throughout Indonesia. The study, therefore, suggests that in regulating beef cattle farm development, the government must use alternative policies taking into consideration local institutions, transportation and communication systems to overcome beef cattle production and distribution problems nationwide.
