This study aimed to identify factors affecting the dairy agribusiness, to develop mapping for dairy agribusiness development and to determine its strategy improvement.  Action research was undertaken followed by descriptive quantitative statistics analysis to present the current condition of the business.  Potency and constrains of dairy farming were identified using SWOT analysis.  LQ (Location Quotient) analysis followed by series of focus group discussions was conducted to develop the grand design of dairy agribusiness.  Research showed that trend of the dairy cow population in Banyumas is relatively stagnant despite an increasing trend on the previous year. LQ analysis showed that sub districts suitable as the basis for dairy development are Kecamatan Baturraden, Pekuncen, Karanglewas, Kedungbanteng and Cilongok. SWOT analysis reported that dairy farming in Banyumas is at quadrant I which indicates an S-O (Strength – Opportunity) strategy focusing on utilizing the strength to maximize the opportunity existed to improve the productivity of dairy cattle.

This study aims to get a deeper explanation of vertical integration in the broiler industry in Indonesia. The data used is secondary data on case decisions number 02 / KPPU-I / 2016. KomisiPengawasPersaingan Usaha (KPPU) Republik Indonesia has issued a decision about the alleged violation of article 11 of Act Number 5 of 1999 related to the regulation of broiler production in Indonesia. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive method. The results obtained are (1) there are 20 large companies that are directly related to the broiler trade industry, (2) broiler industry products are DOC, feed, vitamins and drugs, raw materials for poultry feed and carcasses, (3) the business category in the broiler trade industry is integrated business, semi-integration business and non-integrated businesses. Integration business consists of vertical integration and horizontal integration. Vertical integration is a business that has a series of production processes from upstream to downstream. Semi-integration business is a business that only has more than one production line but does not control the business from upstream to downstream. Non-integration business is a business that only has one production process. Integration business has a dominant market share and can influence the price maker. It was suggested that the Government monitor more closely the large companies that carry out integration so as not to collude and form a monopoly market.

The study aimed to identify and analyse the effect of government program on beef development. The participants of the research were 50 farmers of beef farming in two farmers group in Kabupaten Banjarnegara, Central Java. A series of direct observation combined with semi-structured interviews and workshops have been carried out to capture the everyday activity of the beef farming and to highlight the potential driven factors affecting the performance of the farming. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the farming activities, the resources affected and affecting the grant, and pressures which drove farmers to get the government grant. Then, a qualitative model was drawn using Vensim® software. Lastly, a stock and flow dynamic modelling was performed using iThink® software. The model showed several common systems loops as the findings. One of the highlighted was the double effect of government grant to the systems performance. Initial design of the government program was to increase the sufficiency of national beef stock by importing cattle. However, model showed that it also had unintended consequences to increase farmers’ expectation to get easy instant cash.
