This report provides a brief overview of pig production in Indonesia, in particular its significance in terms of pig exports and the predominance of smallholders. Government focus has been on both larger scale commercial production as well as significant support for smallholders through research and development, extension services, cooperative development and private sector provision of goods and services. The report provides details on investment priorities for the Indonesian pig industry. These include genetics (breeding programs and production potential), nutrition (feed ingredients), animal health (key diseases), housing and environment (pig housing and effluent considerations), product development and quality (impact of consumer demand and trends), reproduction (litter size), socio economics and technology transfer (smallholder production and extension approaches). The authors conclude that development of the Indonesian pig industry requires a research focus on environmental factors (encompassing climatic, structural, health, nutrition, cultural and social aspects) and socio economics and technology transfer to provide necessary support to improve smallholder production systems.

The report examines the restaurant market as an opportunity for East Nusa Tengarra smallholders and identifies market chain issues and opportunities for development. Methodology involved initial feedback from value chain participants to identify a priority market sector for further analysis i.e. restaurant market. Farmer (n=102) and restaurant (n=50) surveys informed the restaurant market analysis. Detailed farmer survey data is presented in terms of household and farm characteristics, the pig supply chain and farmer perceptions and restaurant data in terms of restaurant characteristics, requirements, owner perceptions and consumer preferences. Several issues for pig farms and the pig industry as a whole are discussed. The author's outline their recommendations for future development including improving farmer technical and marketing skills and value chain communication systems. As taste and lean meat were most valued by consumers, improvement should include a quality differential payment system for farmers and farmer training in improved breeding and feeding practices to benefit these preferred characteristics. The authors also recommend the industry develop a strategic direction for the industry and farmer focused activities to assist with realisation of the industry's full potential.
