UNAIR NEWS<\/strong> \u2013 Dairy producers in Central and East Java have recently drawn attention by discarding their milk supplies. The issue stems from local milk being underutilized by milk processing industries (IPS) due to restrictive quotas.<\/p>\n\n

In Boyolali, Central Java, dairy farmers and milk collectors protested by staging a \u201cmilk bath,\u201d using surplus milk that could not be processed. A similar demonstration took place in Pasuruan, East Java, where a milk collection company protested the imposed limits on milk shipments to processing plants.<\/p>\n\n

Addressing the controversy, Professor Rossanto Dwi Handoyo, SE, MSi, PhD, an expert at the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), characterized the milk disposal issue as part of a broader \u201ciceberg phenomenon\u201d involving local farmers and the milk processing industry.<\/p>\n\n

Underlying challenges: quality and pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Professor Handoyo identified two main factors driving the issue: quality and pricing. He explained that the problem originates from farming techniques, milking processes, and post-milking storage systems that fail to meet the stringent standards required by the industry.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOnly 30% of cooperatives manage to maintain milk quality that aligns with industry requirements. The rest fail to meet these benchmarks, and subpar quality milk cannot be accepted by the processing industry,\u201d Prof. Handoyo explained.<\/p>\n\n

The second challenge lies in pricing. Local farmers sell milk at approximately Rp9,000 per liter, while imported milk offers consistent quality at a lower cost. Free trade agreements with countries like New Zealand and Australia allow tariff-free imports, making imported milk more competitively priced. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe influx of cheaper imported milk has led industries to prioritize imports over local milk,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n

Advocating for local farmers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Indonesia\u2019s annual demand for cow\u2019s milk is projected to reach 4.6 million tons by 2024, yet domestic production meets only 18% of this demand. The remaining 82% is fulfilled through imports. The bulk of local milk production comes from cooperatives, which supply 70% of the nation\u2019s domestic output, while the remaining 30% comes from modern milk processing facilities.<\/p>\n\n

In light of these challenges, Prof. Handoyo called for government measures to safeguard and bolster the domestic dairy sector by ensuring local milk is fully absorbed into the supply chain. <\/p>\n\n

Collaborative efforts for improvement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Prof. Handoyo stressed the importance of training and technological support to enhance milk quality. Key areas for improvement include milking systems, hygienic storage practices, and post-milking processing that adheres to industry standards. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cTo improve quality, farmers need training and access to better facilities and technology. Dairy cooperatives must play a pivotal role in guiding farmers, while the government could establish state-owned enterprises (BUMN) focused on milk processing in high-potential regions,\u201d he proposed.<\/p>\n\n

Lastly, Prof. Handoyo urged collaboration between the government, cooperatives, industries, and local farmers. \u201cWithout timely intervention, reliance on imports will continue to grow, jeopardizing the survival of local dairy farmers,\u201d he concluded. <\/p>\n\n
