Abstract

Animal Husbandry has an important role in accelerating the growth of agriculture sector as a part of food security. However, this subsector is considered gaining not much priority as other subsectors in agriculture sector, particularly in ten provinces in Sulampua (Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua) region. Generally, the economic growth of this subsector in those provinces have fluctuated from 2014 to 2019 and its contributions to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) for both farming sector and the total GRDP by province are significantly small. Two purposes of this study are to describe the challenges of animal husbandry in Sulampua (the population of livestock, the economy’s growth of animal husbandry and based-area groups) and to gain analysis as early information for comparative advantages and the prospect of livestock market for subsector. Data used in this study is from BPS-Statistic Indonesia consisting of GRDP by province, the farms’ farmer trade, and the total population of livestock. This study uses descriptive analysis namely Klassen Typology, Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share Analysis (SSA). According to Klassen Typology, the animal husbandry in Maluku Utara, Papua and Papua Barat have been relatively less developed. The result of LQ is livestock in five provinces excluding South Sulawesi is a leading sector while the result of SSA reveals that the animal husbandry in three provinces (Sulawesi Tenggara, Maluku and Papua Barat) have been relatively no comparative advantages in national level. In conclusion, the animal husbandry in provinces in Maluku and Papua have been growing slower than in Sulawesi.
