        "summary": "The government plans to build three plants to process eggs and meat into products with longer shelf lives, as part of an integrated livestock ecosystem intended to stabilise prices and reduce reliance on imports. Each factory is expected to require an initial investment of around Rp200 billion, potentially rising to Rp250 billion for meat-processing facilities, with construction targeted to start next year.",
        "content": "<p>\u201cThis step is aimed at expanding the market for livestock production,\nmaintaining price stability, and reducing Indonesia\u2019s dependence on\nimported products,\u201d Sulaiman said in a statement confirmed here on\nSaturday.<\/p>\n<p>He said the plant construction is part of the government\u2019s strategy\nto build an integrated livestock ecosystem, from providing animal feed\nraw materials, strengthening production by farmers and breeders, to\nabsorbing and processing output.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have called the BP BUMN (State-Owned Enterprises Management\nAgency) and the Trade Minister. We agreed to build a livestock\necosystem, especially by constructing egg flour and meat flour\nprocessing plants,\u201d Sulaiman said.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that work could start next year with a completion\ntarget of 1.5 years and at most two years.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the three plants will soon be followed up with a\nfeasibility study. The government estimates initial investment needs at\naround Rp200 billion per factory, possibly rising to Rp250 billion for\nfacilities that include meat processing.<\/p>\n<p>Strengthening the ecosystem from upstream to downstream, Sulaiman\nassessed, will bring layered benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers gain a market for the corn they produce, livestock breeders\nget certainty of feed supply, while the processing industry becomes an\nabsorption channel when egg and meat production is abundant.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of excess egg or chicken meat production, the output can\nbe processed into products with longer shelf life and wider uses.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, livestock breeders do not depend solely on selling fresh\nproducts, which are vulnerable to changes in demand and prices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe benefits are improving breeders\u2019 welfare, reducing the losses\nthat often occur in certain months, and reducing foreign exchange\nspending on imports. This is a fundamental decision, we are building a\nlivestock ecosystem that is integrated with one another,\u201d he\nstressed.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia fast-tracks 5 livestock zones to boost food\nproduction<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia boosts drought-resistant livestock feed<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia sets 2 million cattle target to boost meat,\nmilk production<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Harianto, Kenzu<\/p>",
