TEMPO.CO, Jakarta- Jakarta Governor Joko “Jokowi” Widodo is planning to make an investment in broiler farms in Lampung to avert monopoly.
“The government should control the broiler distribution in Jakarta,” Jokowi said on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 in Lampung.
Jokowi explained that consumption of broiler in Jakarta could reach 650,000. Therefore, he added, the Jakarta administration should be involved in controlling its distribution. The governor assured that chicken farmer’s associations would be involved in the distribution, so the government would not be the only party basking in the benefit.
Jokowi added that the government would establish cooperation between market operator PD Pasar Jaya and a provincially-owned company in Lampung. Jokowi said the Jakarta administration would invest its money in farms and slaughterhouses. The governor, however, did not specify the amount of money to be invested.
Chairman of Lampung Chicken Farms Association Agus Hidayat said the province could produce 13.5 million broilers per month and that 30 percent of which were distributed to Jakarta.
“If the cooperation is solid, resources in Lampung are ready to be used,” he said.
According to Agus, chicken farmers in Lampung are highly trained and there are green open spaces available chicken farming.
