The implementation of cattle development policies caused this to happen. Moreover, the attempt to support beef self-sufficiency in Tuban was less than expected. However, poor food quality and cement as well as lack of good breeding result in slow development of livestock population in the regency. corresponding author: ABSTRACT : Tuban is one of primary areas of beef cattle development in East Java, Indonesia.Data of meat production also shows an upward trend during the same year for 92.653 tons, 96.948 tons, 98.821 tons and 103.243 tons respectively (Winarso, et al 2005 Disnak East Java, 2013).ģ East Java Assessment Institute for Agricultural Technology, IAARD-Ministry of Agriculture, IndonesiaĢ Agricultural Technology Assessment and Development Center, IAARD-Ministery of Agriculture,Īgricultural Socio-Economics Journal P-ISSN: 1412-1425 | E-ISSN: 2252-6757 Volume XVI, Number 01 (2016): 01-11Īssessment Institute for Agricultural Technology, IAARD-Ministery of Agriculture, Indonesia According to data of cattle population in East Java during 2008-2011, it shows the increase number of cows for 3,328,824 cows, 3,559,205 cows, 3,745,453 cows, 4,745,453 cows, respectively, with an average growth of 4% per year.

The development of beef cattle in terms of meat self-sufficiency in East Java is greatly supported by its geographic condition.Įast Java is basis area of national beef cattle supplier. The attempt to improve cattle population in East Java relatively has great chance because it is supported by the availability of feed from agricultural waste and residual agricultural products. This geographic condition provides potential benefit in providing cattle feed (BPS, 2011). This area has irrigated land approximately 1,159,592 ha in 2007, which mostly planted with rice 2-3 times a year and it also has 1.225.100 million ha of dry land in East Java. Some problems related to the cattle development such as: (a) problems and potential developments of beef cattle has not formulated yet in an integrated and comprehensive manner, and (b) policy that lead to the extension and application of technological innovations as massive approach never been formulated However, the attempt of Tuban government in improving beef self-sufficiency still far from the expectation. In this regency, beef cattle agribusiness centralized in eight districts: Senori, Plumpang, Palang, Merak Urak, Bancar, Rangel, Kerek and Kenduruan. Tuban is regency in East Java that becomes primary area of cattle development. PERSPECTIVE OF CATTLE DEVELOPMENT SCHEME IN TUBAN-EAST JAVA
