Abstract

This study aims to analyze the livestock subsector policy in Purworejo Regency in the 2016-2021 period and determine the leading subsector in the agricultural sector that can be developed in Purworejo Regency.

The results of this study indicate that policies in the livestock sub-sector, namely optimizing the livestock sub-sector and limiting large-scale livestock business activities in residential areas, are supported by 2 programs, namely the program to increase livestock production and the application of agricultural technology. The second policy is the application of superior agro-input and Agro Farm commodities supported by the Agricultural and Livestock Commodity Agribusiness program.

The results of the shift-share analysis showed a negative result (-0.33) which was further analyzed by the Klassen Typology method, the livestock sub-sector is in quadrant III, which means it is a rapidly growing sub-sector but the sector's competitiveness is low compared to other sectors.
