Danantara to Develop Modern Technology-Based Poultry Industry
The poultry industry development is intended to build an efficient, productive and highly competitive chicken-farming ecosystem.
JAKARTA (ANTARA) — The State-Owned Enterprises Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN), together with Danantara, is developing an integrated poultry industry based on modern technology, which is expected to set a new standard for the national industry.
“I want to see it later. This is integrated, the best farming operation in Indonesia. It has to be sophisticated, clean and well-organised,” Dony Oskaria, head of BP BUMN and Danantara’s chief operating officer, said in an official statement confirmed to ANTARA in Jakarta on Thursday.
The development is aimed at creating an efficient, productive and highly competitive chicken-farming ecosystem.
Dony stressed that the farms being developed must meet the highest standards of technology and operational quality. Business integration must be supported by modern technology, cleanliness and orderly, professional management so that it can serve as a model for the national livestock industry.
He also emphasised that investment decisions would not be based solely on the size of the investment, but on the potential return on investment.
Every investment must have clear business prospects and be intended to make the company a leading player in its industry.
“Investment is not about how large or small the amount is; it is about the return on investment. As long as the return is good, we are willing to invest. We must ensure that, when we enter an industry, we become a winner,” Dony said.
He added that every regional business development project should become a benchmark for the entire industry in Indonesia. For this reason, management quality was a key priority.
Locations must be selected and investments implemented objectively and professionally, without conflicts of interest.
“Whatever we do in the regions must serve as a reference, a benchmark for all industries in Indonesia. That is why we are now paying very close attention to management quality,” Dony said.
As part of the Integrated Chicken Downstreaming Project, a facility in Malang, East Java, is targeted for completion in May 2027.
The facility is among the projects being prepared for inauguration by the President and the relevant minister.
Through the development, BP BUMN and Danantara aim to establish a competitive modern livestock-industry model, strengthen the national food ecosystem and create added value for Indonesia’s economy.
