An Australian investor has expressed interest in developing a dairy cow business in the East Java town of Lumajang in partnership with a local firm.
Lumajang administration economic division head Nurul Huda stopped short of naming the Australian investor, but added he and the local investor, PT Mahesa Agri Pratama, considered Lumajang a good place to develop such a business.
“It's good in terms of climate. Besides, we have abundant potential cow food here,” Nurul said in Lumajang on Wednesday, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
She said Pronojiwo, Pasrujambe and Candipuro districts in the East Java town were now being eyed as the center for the dairy cow business.
Nurul added that the two investors had sent their envoys to discuss their interest with the local administration, and had calculated the potential profits.
They are also planning to build a milk factory for export purposes, she said.
Lumajang Farming Agency head Gatot Subiyantoro said there were currently 5,000 cows in Lumajang, 4,500 of which produced milk. The number of cow farmers in the area is 1,100 people, who comprise 100 farmer groups, he added.
