Benchmarking the beef supply chain in eastern Indonesia
Project
Project code: TI-BW-08-PID1516
Contract period: 01.05.2008
- 31.10.2010
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
The Indonesian beef supply chain is very dynamic and characterised by huge structural differences in production, live cattle trade, processing and retail. A large number of small cattle producers are facing a growing quantity of imported beef and cattle finished in Indonesian feedlots based on Australian live cattle imports. The policy continues to aim at self-sufficiency of beef production. At the same time, the retail is consolidating towards super markets and the consumer preferences and eating habits for beef are changing. The project has the following objectives: 1. To draw comprehensive picture about the stakeholders, product, finance and information flow as well as the competitiveness in the eastern Indonesian supply chain and their main domestic and foreign competitors. 2. To analyse the incentives, driving forces and decision making of main actors in the beef supply chain. 3. To improve farmers’ and agribusiness’ access to knowledge about the beef supply chain in eastern Indonesia. 4. To develop strategies for making the Indonesian supply chain more effective and competitive and provide farmers with higher incomes. 5. Develop appropriate strategies to reduce weight loss during inter-island transportation. The project examines the international and domestic political, economic and social framework conditions as well as product and information flows through the supply chain. Further, an economic analysis is performed for all levels of the supply chain. Based on the findings the five partner institutions commonly develop approaches for the sustainable integration of smallholders in the Indonesian beef supply chain. The data base for the farm-level analysis is provided through typical farm data which were set up within the framework of the agri benchmark Beef and Sheep Network. The data and information from farm gate to consumer were collected with interviews and expert opinion. For each level of the chain it was made sure that at least 75 % of the product volumes were reflected.
