【 摘 要 】

Beef cattle agribusiness plays an important role in income generation for most farmers in rural areas of Cilacap, Banyumas, and Banjarnegara regencies. In small-holder farming systems, beef cattle production is usually closely integrated into overall food production. The potential economic benefits of the application of important technologies and improved natural resources management could be taken into account. This study described the situation of the improving livestock production system of beef cattle agribusiness in order to increase accessibility to bank, to identify characteristics of management system and constraints of accessibility to bank. This study was conducted at the farmer groups of Beef Cattle Cluster Program located at Cilacap, Banyumas, and Banjarnegara regencies. Constraints related to development of beef cattle agribusiness include lack of feeding technology, landless, lack of managing natural resources especially for forages. Implementation of technology in term of good farming practices including breeding and feeding practices could be considered for increasing feasibility and competitiveness beef cattle agribusiness.
