Indonesia plans to achieve milk self-sufficiency by importing 1 million dairy cows by 2029.

Indonesia is setting an ambitious target to become self-sufficient in milk production by 2029, as part of a national strategic project. The government plans to import 1 million dairy cows over five years, enhancing domestic milk production and reducing its dependency on imports. This substantial move is part of a broader agribusiness strategy aimed at transforming Indonesia's dairy sector.
The Ministry of Agriculture has detailed a roadmap that spans from 2025 to the target year, focusing on increasing herd size and improving productivity through initiatives such as artificial insemination. Additionally, the government is providing support to local livestock breeders to seamlessly integrate the imported cows into Indonesian agriculture, thereby increasing both quantity and quality of milk production. This initiative will have significant implications for global cattle markets and dairy trade dynamics, underscoring the importance of domestic supply chains and long-term planning in agribusiness.
