        "summary": "Central Java has commenced construction of an integrated dairy farm and milk processing plant in Brebes Regency, valued at Rp1.2 trillion. The facility, built by PT Global Dairi Bersama, will house 30,000 dairy cows and aims to close the province's annual milk deficit of 22,000 tonnes. Officials state the project will position Central Java as a national dairy industry hub and support Indonesia's broader food self-sufficiency targets.",
        "content": "<p>The Central Java Provincial Government has begun building a\nlarge-scale integrated dairy farm worth Rp1.2 trillion in Karangbale\nVillage, Larangan District, Brebes Regency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the largest dairy farm and milk factory in Indonesia and\nSoutheast Asia. Central Java will become more self-sufficient in food,\nparticularly regarding milk production,\u201d said Central Java Governor\nAhmad Luthfi after the groundbreaking ceremony in Brebes on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The dairy farm, utilising 710 hectares of land and developed by PT\nGlobal Dairi Bersama, is estimated to have a capacity of around 30,000\nhead of cattle. The development will be equipped with milk processing\nfacilities, waste-to-biogas and fertiliser processing, as well as an\nanimal feed centre.<\/p>\n<p>The groundbreaking was conducted by Central Java Governor Ahmad\nLuthfi, Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman, Chair of Commission IV\nof the Indonesian House of Representatives Siti Hediati Soeharto, Brebes\nRegent Paramitha Widya Kusuma, and Saviora Group CEO Ihsan Mulia\nPutri.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Luthfi stated that this investment would support Central Java\u2019s\nrole as a national dairy industry centre. Currently, the dairy cow\npopulation in Central Java stands at approximately 77,566 head, with\nmilk production of around 78,465 tonnes per year against a demand of\nroughly 94,730 tonnes per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need will clearly be sufficiently met with this investment. So\nfar, we have still required nearly 22,000 tonnes of milk per year, which\nwe have sourced from other provinces. Once this factory is established,\nit will cover the milk needs of Central Java and the nation,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture Minister Andi Amran Sulaiman noted that national milk\ndemand continues to surge in line with the increasing need to fulfil\npublic nutrition. He therefore encouraged Central Java to achieve food\nself-sufficiency, especially in milk, to meet national requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooking at the model implemented by PT Global Dairi Bersama, I am\nconfident that Central Java, and indeed Indonesia, will soon meet the\nmilk self-sufficiency target,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
