POULTRYINDONESIA, Jakarta<\/b> \u2013 The integrated chicken downstreaming program is now positioned as one of the top priorities for the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health (DGLAHS) of the Ministry of Agriculture in the 2026 national livestock development work plan.<\/h6>\n
The initial phase of this program was launched through a series of groundbreaking ceremonies on February 6, 2026, covering six regions simultaneously: East Java, West Nusa Tenggara, East Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, Gorontalo, and Lampung.<\/h6>\n
This momentum was followed by an internal consolidation meeting held on Tuesday (Feb 11, 2026). The DGLAHS coordination forum was utilized to sharpen policy direction and evaluate the readiness of all ranks in overseeing this strategic program, which is considered a major high-stakes initiative for the national livestock sector.<\/h6>\n
The Director General of Livestock and Animal Health, Agung Suganda<\/b>, emphasized that assistance for farmer groups must be comprehensive. This support includes policy advocacy, human resource strengthening, technical guidance, and animal health management.<\/h6>\n
“Integrated chicken downstreaming is our focus. Assistance must be optimized so that farmer groups understand this program and truly feel its benefits,” said Agung.<\/h6>\n
On the internal front, Agung also highlighted the importance of improving governance and strengthening human resources. According to him, administrative order and the accuracy of financial reporting still need improvement, as they have often been treated as mere routine.<\/h6>\n
\u201cRegarding financial reports specifically, I hope that moving forward they are not viewed solely as administration, but as a form of our collective responsibility and performance. We cannot expect different results if the way we work remains the same. A change in mindset and work methods must continue to be implemented,” he asserted.<\/h6>\n
A similar message was conveyed by the Expert Staff to the Minister of Agriculture for Livestock Product Downstreaming, Ali Agus<\/b>. According to him, the poultry sector has unique characteristics and complexities that demand extra caution in policy formulation and priority setting.<\/h6>\n
“Livestock downstreaming, especially in poultry, is one of our biggest stakes. Focusing on chicken is vital, but it must be organized meticulously to avoid creating misconceptions in the public,” said Ali Agus.<\/h6>\n
He added that the success of this program depends heavily on the quality of assistance from the central to regional levels, as well as the government’s ability to truly address field issues rather than merely meeting administrative targets.<\/h6>\n
“Government programs should truly solve problems on the ground. Assistance from the central to the regional levels must be tightened so that this program can operate effectively,” he concluded.<\/h6>\n
