Tridge summary

The Indonesian government, with the help of Vietnamese investor TH Group, is taking steps to boost national milk production by developing dairy farms across three locations in Indonesia: Central Sulawesi, South Kalimantan, and South Sulawesi. The plan involves a total of 82,000 hectares of land, aimed at increasing milk production to meet domestic demands. This initiative is part of a memorandum of understanding signed in May 2024, which includes the import of breeding cattle to speed up the availability of milk, as achieving self-sufficiency relying on existing breeding cattle would take longer. The project is expected to have significant economic implications, providing opportunities for local and international entrepreneurs and supporting the government's free nutritious meal program.
