Khususnya Propinsi SulawesiUtara, menetapkan crash program pengembangan agribisnis jagung dengan targetarea tanaman pada April 2006 seluas 10.000 ha dengan hasil 38.200 ton jagung.Luasan ini diperkirakan menghasilkan 28.000 t BK tebon jagung per waktu panenyang dapat menyediakan pakan untuk 41.482 ekor sapi dengan berat badan 250 kgsetiap hari selama 90 hari. Integrasi sapi dalam crash program agribisnis jagung ituakan dapat mengeliminasi marjinalitas kontribusi Sulawesi Utara terhadap pengadaandaging nasional dan meningkatkan ketahanan pangan. Melalui integrasi itu, per unitlahan akan menghasilkan produk bernilai-jual seperti jagung, daging/susu, tenagakerja serta pupuk kandang.
