        "summary": "Pamekasan Regency in East Java is intensifying programmes to boost the population and quality of Madura cattle, a local breed, in support of President Prabowo Subianto's target for Indonesia to achieve beef self-sufficiency within five to six years. The initiatives include the Sang Sultan and Papa Baru schemes, which focus on simultaneous breeding development across several sub-districts. National data shows Indonesia still faces a significant beef deficit, with production of around 491,700 tonnes against consumption needs of 724,200 tonnes in 2025.",
        "content": "<p>Besides being famous for its karapan sapi (bull racing) tradition,\nMadura Island in East Java is also known as a cattle-producing region in\nIndonesia. Several areas there serve as centres for local cattle\nfarming, one of which is Pamekasan.<\/p>\n<p>In this regency, the local government continues to strive to increase\nthe population and maintain the quality of Madura cattle. One of the\nefforts is through the Sang Sultan programme (Simultaneous Strategy for\nthe Development of Madura Breeding Cattle) and the Papa Baru programme\n(Pakong, Pasean, Batumarmar, and Waru), which is being developed in\nthose four sub-districts.<\/p>\n<p>These two cattle development programmes have become increasingly\nrelevant after Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto set a target for\nthe country to achieve beef self-sufficiency within the next five to six\nyears. The target was conveyed by President Prabowo in his speech at the\n2026 Annual Session of the People\u2019s Consultative Assembly (MPR RI) at\nthe Parliamentary Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on 14 August.<\/p>\n<p>The target of beef self-sufficiency has actually been declared since\n2014. However, to date, Indonesia has still not been able to meet its\nbeef needs from domestic production.<\/p>\n<p>Beef is not yet included in the list of strategic food commodities\nthat have achieved self-sufficiency over the past year, namely rice,\nmaize, consumption sugar, chicken meat, chicken eggs, shallots, large\nchillies, and bird\u2019s eye chillies. Besides beef, the government still\nfaces similar problems with buffalo meat and garlic.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Agriculture, for example, has prepared an\nacceleration programme by bringing in productive female cattle from\nabroad starting in the 2027 fiscal year. The addition of productive\nfemale cattle is expected to increase the population and add to the meat\nsupply.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded that Indonesia\u2019s beef production\nreached 499,150 tonnes in 2025. However, based on projections of beef\nand buffalo meat production and consumption for the 2024\u20132029 period,\nIndonesia will still experience a deficit.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, beef production is estimated to reach 473,900 tonnes and\nbuffalo meat around 17,800 tonnes. Total supply is around 491,700\ntonnes, while consumption needs are estimated to reach 724,200 tonnes.\nThus, there is a deficit of around 232,500 tonnes.<\/p>",
