The Deputy Minister of Agriculture emphasized that the government will further strengthen the national dairy sector as part of efforts to bolster food security and enhance domestic production self-reliance.
This strengthening will be achieved by increasing domestic milk production and comprehensively reforming the livestock ecosystem.
The government is also encouraging closer partnerships between dairy farmers and industry players so that local milk production can improve in both quantity and quality.
Additionally, government support is focused on developing supporting infrastructure, such as feed supply, livestock technology, and more efficient distribution systems.
The Deputy Minister believes the dairy sector holds significant potential for development in Indonesia and can become one of the main pillars of national food security.
Moving forward, the development of this sector is expected to reduce Indonesia’s reliance on imported milk.
The government is committed to continuing to provide policy support and facilities so that the national dairy industry can develop competitively and sustainably.
Overall, strengthening the dairy sector is an important part of Indonesia’s long-term food security strategy.
