AB  - The objective of the research is to formulate the development 
  intervention strategies based on the identification of farmer’s 
  need on small dairy farmers. The survey and observation were used in this analysis. 
  Using key informants of the heads of cooperatives in Yogyakarta milk line, leaders 
  of farmer groups and the head of livestock department. The results showed that 
  current condition of dairy farming are: low rate of increase in dairy cow population, 
  productivity of dairy cows has not been satisfactory because it has not performed 
  maximally breeding, the level of farmer knowledge in the management of dairy 
  cattle in general have not adequate. The current issues are low productivity 
  of dairy animals, low quality of human resources and high demand of milk. Farmer 
  cooperatives play an important role in the Indonesian dairy industry. The cooperatives 
  collect milk from dairy farmers for sale to processing companies provide credit 
  to farmers and offer extension advices. The aim of producers cooperative is 
  to provide services either free of charge or at a reasonable cost to its members. 
  In addition, cooperative ownership emphasizes participation and control by member 
  producers (farmers). The challenge facing small farmers is how to gain greater 
  access to markets, enhance their value chain position and increase their value-added 
  so as to boost incomes and reduce poverty. Livestock small farmers are most 
  often at the bottom of the value chain: their produce is often a small fraction 
  of the value of the end-product. Without some specific support, small farmers 
  may be at risk of being marginalized. Therefore, some efforts are recommended: 
  stronger linkages among stakeholders in the dairy sector could help harmonize 
  activities, eliminate duplication and harness the ensuing synergies, supportive 
  measures and incentive structures are needed to encourage more formal sector 
  participation in the dairy industry and improved access is needed to basic dairy 
  inputs, credit and animal health.
