Value Chain Analysis
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background
Development of the agricultural sector is one of the strategic choice to support national and regional economy, especially after the economic crisis experienced by the countries of Southeast Asia since mid-1997. The choice is based on the consideration that the agricultural sector has repeatedly proved itself as a sector that is resistant to the economic crisis and an asset of wealth for the welfare of society as well as for overall economic development activities. In addition, the resources-based state of Indonesia is in the primary sectors (including agriculture in the broad sense, both in terms of abundance of natural resources and largeness of potential available labor). Therefore, the Indonesian government should continue to develop the agricultural sector because it has an important role as a producer of food, foreign exchange, employment opportunities, as well as a market for industrial products.
Dairy as one of the sub sectors of the agricultural sector is an area of business that is very important in human life. This is related to the readiness of livestock sub sector in providing animal food community, essential to growth and development. Nutrient content of livestock and dairy products has a value far better than the nutrients from plants. In order to achieve the development goals to meet the nutritional needs of livestock, the livestock development has been directed at the development of more advanced farm through regional approach, the use of appropriate technology and the application of a new foundation that is the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability (sustainability). In addition, the development of animal husbandry sub-sector as an integral part of agricultural development must be carried out gradually and plan to improve the welfare of society. This is done through improved livestock production so as to increase the income of farmers society from time to time. Therefore, the government should
