Daftar Isi:
  • Milk is highly strategic economic commodity along with the increasing awareness of the importance of milk consumption and improves the living standards for people of Indonesia. In 2002-2007 the demand for milk consumption in Indonesia grew very rapidly showing an increase of 14.01%. On the other hand, the growth of milk production increased by only 2% during the same period (Direktorat Budidaya Ternak Ruminansia, 2010). Subsequently, this has led to e increasing amount of milk imports and reduced the level of milk self-sufficiency. Therefore, is necessary for the government to develop policies that include the enactment of milk as a strategic food commodity and apply a variety of technological innovations to improve the productivity of dairy farm business in Indonesia.
