Abstract

The objective of this study was to describe social profile, constraints of swine farmers, and its impact on swine herd size in Tra Vinh Province. This study was conducted in Tra Vinh Province, one of the provinces in Mekong delta, Vietnam. A total of 120 swine farmers selected from small swine farms to commercial swine farms were surveyed with information gathered on 11,466 swine. All of the swine farmers in this study were purposively chosen and interviewed with the questionnaires for data collection. All swine farmers have kept at least 1 swine per farm or had experience at least 1 year for raising and trading swine. The results showed that the majority of farmers were males (57.5%), with the age range of 20-40 years old (47.5%), having more than 10 years of experience (52.5%), having 1-3 members in the family (87.1%), 85% of farmers focused on farm, farmers having livestock farming plus cropping accounted for 55.8%, and farmers having medium farm size with an average of 95-96 heads/farm. In addition, there were 4 constraints that farmers confirmed, i.e., capital (31.6%), disease outbreak (75%), low bargaining power (40%), and the fluctuation of feed price (59.16%). Moreover, experience (p<0.01), education (p<0.01), disease outbreak (p<0.05), and the fluctuation of feed price (p<0.05) had a strong influence on swine herd. It could be concluded that farmers having higher experience and education kept a larger number of swine than others. In contrary, when disease outbreak and the fluctuation of feed price emerge, farmers tended to control their swine herd size.

Abstract

The livestock subsector contributes around sixty percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of the agricultural sector, and poultry products approximately 80.77% of total national livestock production. Although Indonesia's poultry industry shows great potential, exports of Indonesian broiler products still face various obstacles, for instance geographical distance between countries, exchange rates, Covid-19 pandemic and implementation of Free Trade Agreements (FTA). This study aimed to analyze the determinant factors of the export competitiveness of Indonesian chicken products in the international market with a descriptive quantitative method using Likert-scale questions . This study involved the entire population of 45 individuals, consisting of poultry companies engaged in export activities and relevant government institutions. The Gravity Model approach was employed to examine economic and geographical factors, while the Porter Diamond framework was used to assess the determinants of the industry’s competitive advantage. The results showed that geographical distance (-0.09), exporter GDP (0.27), and importer GDP (0.04) affected to export performance. The most influential factors on Indonesia’s chicken products export competitiveness were firm strategy, structure, and rivalry—particularly product adaptation to target markets (4.61)—and government support through export procedure simplification (4.59). Furthermore, related and supporting industries were found to have a strong correlation with competitiveness. The strengths, weaknesses, opportuni-ties, and threats (SWOT)  analysis resulted diversification strategies in both products and markets, as well as the integration of digital technology in production and distribution become strategic steps to enhance export competitiveness.
