The mixing ratio in the Indonesian dairy industry

Abstract

The Indonesian dairy industry has been viewed by the Indonesian government as an industry that has the potential to improve the welfare of low income and landless farmers through providing them with an additional source of farm income. As well. the government sees the industry as a vehicle for providing opportunities for employment in rural areas. From an economy wide viewpoint, its development is viewed as a way Indonesia might save foreign exchange since a large share of its dairy requirements have to be imported. A variety of measures have been used to assist the industry. This paper investigates one of the measures, the BUSEP scheme or mixing ratio regulation which requires domestic processors to use Indonesian produced milk before imported milk. (g

Evolving dairy markets in Asia: Recent findings and implications

“…This is consistent with general patterns of distortions in other markets and other regions (Aksoy and Beghin, 2004;Cox and Zhu, 2004;Hoekman et al, 2004). In developing Asia, the protection structure has been historically high (Kehren and Tisdell, 1998;Riethmuller et al, 1999;Erwidodo and Trewin, 1996). More recently this protection structure has become more heterogeneous and in a flux with a downward trend because of various causes.…”

“…Earlier investigations include: on Asian patterns(Podbury et al, 1995;Rae, 1997;Rutherford, 1999); on Indonesia(Riethmuller et al, 1999 andErwidodo andTrewin, 1996; and more recentlyBarichello, 2005;Fabiosa, 2005); on Japan(Kawaguchi and Kaiser, 1997;Stroppiana et al, 1998;Watanabe et al, 1999); on Korea(Song and Sumner, 1999) and on Thailand(Kehren and Tisdell, 1998). SeeFuller et al (2005) for a review of the literature on China, which is much more recent.…”

Animal Husbandry Practices in Rural Bangladesh: Potential Risk Factors for Antimicrobial Drug Resistance and Emerging Diseases

“…[35][36][37] The loss of livestock for small-scale farmers can have severe consequences, including loss of income and social standing within the community. European organizations have recognized this problem and have funded several projects to improve animal health clinics in sub-Saharan Africa.…”

The outlook for Asian dairy markets: The role of demographics, income, and prices

“…Problems such as low productivity, poor milk quality, and a short lactating period for dairy cattle are common to dairy farms. Programs supported by the government and private enterprises to increase milk production have not produced satisfying results (USDA 2003b;Riethmuller et al 1999). Domestic milk production supplies only 35 percent of the total national demand (USDA 1999a).…”

“…Domestic milk production supplies only 35 percent of the total national demand (USDA 1999a). In contrast to the small scale of dairy farms, the milk processing sector is made up of large and competitive companies (Riethmuller et al 1999), which process roughly 80 percent of fresh milk produced in Indonesia (USDA 1999a). Indonesia does not produce butter, cheese, and NFD.…”
