POULTRYINDONESIA, Bogor – Recently, national media coverage has been widely discussing a major initiative by the Danantara Indonesia (Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency) through a policy they call a governance reset. The governance reset is a strategic initiative aimed at correcting, restructuring, and strengthening the governance of Indonesia’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The move focuses on improving organizational structures, enhancing professionalism, and increasing efficiency through comprehensive audits so that SOEs become more transparent, accountable, and oriented toward real economic value.
Secretary General of the National Poultry Farmers Organization Guard (Garda Organisasi Peternakan Ayam Nasional), Sugeng Wahyudi, believes that this spirit of governance reform is also relevant to the poultry industry. According to him, several indicators currently present opportunities for improving governance in the poultry sector.
One indicator is the relatively improved welfare of farmers, reflected in the Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP), which is currently around 105. Throughout 2025 to early 2026, this trend has remained stable.
“This momentum should be used to carry out fundamental improvements in poultry industry governance so that the benefits are also felt by independent farmers,” he said in a written statement on Friday (13/3).
Sugeng noted that several factors support this momentum. First, the government’s political will through Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 10 of 2024 concerning the Provision, Distribution, and Supervision of Broiler Chickens and Table Eggs. The regulation sets a 50:50 production proportion between integrated companies and independent farmers, which is targeted to be fully implemented by 2027.
“Second, the validity of production and consumption data has begun to improve. Previously, this issue often caused market imbalances. Over the past few months, price fluctuations have been relatively more controlled, indicating that production planning is becoming more rational,” he added.
He also highlighted the potential increase in demand through the Free Nutritious Meals Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis / MBG), which is believed to provide an additional absorption source for animal protein products, particularly chicken meat and eggs.
“In addition, strengthening the role of SOEs is considered important. In this case, PT Berdikari is expected not to become a competitor to farmers but instead play a role in strengthening the industry ecosystem, for example as a supplier of livestock production inputs (sapronak), a market buffer, and a supply chain manager,” he explained.
The government is also said to be preparing investment support for the poultry sector of up to Rp20 trillion, as well as financing through the People’s Business Credit scheme (Kredit Usaha Rakyat / KUR) for farmers, which is estimated to reach Rp30 trillion.
However, Sugeng warned that such policies should not end up benefiting only large integrated companies. According to him, strengthening the poultry sector must be directed toward expanding the participation of smallholder farmers.
He also highlighted the importance of transparent regulation of imported feed raw materials such as soybean meal (SBM) to prevent increases in production costs. On the other hand, opening export markets also needs to be encouraged as a safety valve when domestic production experiences surplus.
“With healthier, more transparent, and fair governance, the national poultry industry is expected to grow more steadily while providing greater space for smallholder farmers,” Sugeng said.
According to him, the success of the poultry industry should not only be measured by the size of its production, but also by how far the sector is able to create equitable welfare for all stakeholders, especially small-scale farmers.
