Details of the opportunity are as follows:
The Program
The Indonesia Australia Commercial Cattle Breeding Program (IACCB) was established under the auspices of the Indonesia-Australia Partnership on Food Security in the Red Meat and Cattle Sector (the Partnership). The program (AUD 9 million, 2016-2019) aims to promote sustainable commercial scale beef cattle breeding in Indonesia. This will be achieved by piloting a range of different breeding systems with industry partners to assess commercially sustainable approaches that can be up-scaled to facilitate investment, innovation and expansion of the beef cattle breeding industry. The three systems being tested include: 1) cattle integrated with commercial oil palm plantations (SISKA), 2) Silvopasture, open grazing, intensive grazing and 3) smallholder cooperative models.
The IACCB program provides support to carefully selected partners and their breeding system. The support aims to improve the partner's capacity and capability (knowledge, skills and physical capacity) in commercially sustainable cattle breeding and production. With these improvements, and effective monitoring and recording of data, the partner obtains evidence that the business of breeding cattle is commercially viable. This encourages partners to further invest in the expansion of their cattle breeding business beyond the pilot phase. The sharing of project lessons and promotion of commercially viable business models to other industry players will aim to encourage them to invest in cattle breeding, and ultimately the expansion in the Indonesian cattle-breeding sector.
IACCB partners with corporate Indonesia and smallholder farmers. The IACCB Program Board includes representatives from two Australian Ministries (DFAT and DAWR), two Indonesian Ministries (BKPM and MoA) and private industry from both Australia and Indonesia. Two-way communications with Ministries is vital for Program success, and is a core task of IACCB.
