Exploring risk and loss potential of Bali cattle farming: A review

Abstract

The availability of beef is still polemic, and the direction of the national beef self-sufficiency policy has not been able to cover the gap between the demand for community beef consumption and local cattle resources. Cattle farming was faced with business risk constraints that occurred in its production process. This research aimed to explore the potential risks of Bali cattle farming as well as the impact of the losses that it will be caused by the risks. Exploration of potential risks and losses was carried out using descriptive methods, in which scientific articles on internet database searches were carried out, starting from searching the database, screening, selecting, and reviewing, to reporting descriptive research results. Investigating the risks and potential losses in the Bali cattle business, two main things were found: risks in production and marketing activities. Production activities faced many problems with pregnancy failure, availability of food, disease, work accidents, death, and cattle theft. Meanwhile, marketing activities often arise from uncertainty over price constraints, modes of transportation and distribution, consumer income and purchasing power.
