INSTITUTIONAL DYNAMICS OF CATTLE AND BEEF MARKETING SUPPLY CHAIN IN INDONESIAN DRY LAND AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The structure, role and dynamics of various institutions in cattle and beef marketing supply chain management need to be known in detail and comprehensively, so that their performance can be improved. Objectives: 1) analyze the role and institutional dynamics in supply chain management of cattle and beef in dry land agriculture; and 2) formulating efforts to improve the performance of cattle and beef supply chain institutions in dry land agriculture. Methods: A comprehensive survey of cattle and beef supply chain management institutions, covering all stakeholders (farmers, livestock traders, butchers, meat traders, animal markets, slaughterhouses, animal quarantine, transport expeditions, etc.). The data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively and quantitatively, income analysis, and trading margin analysis). Conclusions: 1) The role of cattle and beef supply chain institutions is starting to form a solid network. However, in terms of institutional dynamics, there are still problems with smooth communication and interaction between institutions in transactions, especially at the point of interaction between farmers and village traders; and 2) Transaction costs in the cattle and beef marketing supply chain are still quite high, but the profit for the institution is quite reasonable. The provision of benchmark prices is very important to maintain a fair distribution of profits.
