What is IndoBeef?

The Government of Indonesia sees the integration of cattle with oil palm and crops as a means for increasing the cattle population and beef production in Indonesia. In response, the IndoBeef research program was launched in January, 2018, and is due for completion in June, 2021. It comprises two projects developed to strengthen Indonesia’s community-based beef sector and to improve the livelihoods of smallholder cattle producers. These projects will be managed under the IndoBeef research program, which is a collaborative effort involving IAARD and ACIAR with funding from DFAT and ACIAR. The projects are:

‘Developing profitable smallholder beef cattle production in association with oil palm plantation systems’ – PalmCow or sapi-sawit (Partnera are: UNE, ICARD, IRIAP, ICALRRD, ICERD, NT DPI, IVETRI, ICASEPS, BPTP, Dinas Peternakan, Dinas Pertanian, Dinas Perkebunan)

and

‘Improving cattle production and quality in crop-based farming systems’ – CropCow or sapi-sawah (Partners are UNE, Lolitsapi BCRI, BPTP, UNRAM, IAARD, ICARD, BPTU-HPT, Balittra, Dinas Peternakan, Dinas TPH, Dinas Penyuluhan, ULM)
