Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of strengthening beef cattle farming through an integrated agribusiness subsystem approach at the Sebatur Tunggal Farmer Group in Muara Badak District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The background of this study is based on the importance of developing an integrated agribusiness system to increase the productivity and competitiveness of smallholder livestock farming, especially in the face of challenges such as feed availability, market access, and institutional and technological support. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, where data is collected through observation, in-depth interviews with members of farmer groups and related parties, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that each agribusiness subsystem—starting from the input subsystem (upstream), cultivation subsystem (on-farm), processing and marketing subsystem (downstream), to supporting subsystems such as institutions, capital, and technology—is still running partially and has not been optimally integrated. The main problems identified include limited access to quality feed, low application of efficient cultivation technology, limitations in processing livestock products, and weak marketing and partnership networks. In addition, the institutional capacity of farmer groups to manage businesses collectively still needs to be strengthened. The conclusion of this study states that the strategy for strengthening beef cattle farming businesses needs to be focused on developing an integrated agribusiness system with support from training, extension, access to inputs and markets, and cross-sector collaboration. The main recommendation is the need for policy interventions that encourage synergy between subsystems and empower farmers through a participatory and sustainable approach to create a resilient and competitive community farm.

Abstract

This study analyzes the potential for beef cattle development in Muara Badak District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a field study approach through interviews with livestock breeders, community leaders, village officials, and secondary data analysis from relevant agencies. The results show that Muara Badak has potential resources, including extensive land, agricultural and plantation waste as alternative feed, and a deeply rooted cattle farming tradition within the community. Extensive and semi-intensive patterns with limited adoption of modern technologies, such as artificial insemination and fermented feed processing, still dominate beef cattle farming systems. Market opportunities are considered very promising given the high demand for local and regional beef, mainly from Samarinda and Balikpapan, as well as the seasonal spike in demand during Eid al-Adha. However, beef cattle development faces challenges such as limited livestock breeders' knowledge of health management and biosecurity, restricted access to capital, fluctuations in feed prices, and weak institutionalization of livestock groups. Therefore, strategies are needed to strengthen the capacity of livestock farmers, innovate in the use of local feed, and promote multi-stakeholder synergy between the government, financial institutions, and the private sector to encourage the modernization of livestock systems. With proper management, beef cattle farming in Muara Badak has the potential to drive the local economy and significantly contribute to food security, increased competitiveness, and sustainable livestock development at the regional and national levels
