JAKARTA, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- The Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture has prepared 1.5 million hectares of land for dairy and beef cattle farming to increase the country's meat and milk production.

"We hope this will attract investor interest to support the development of sustainable, modern cattle farming in Indonesia," said Agung Suganda, director general of animal husbandry and animal health, on Thursday.

Livestock clusters will also be established, bringing together corporations, cooperatives, and farmer groups.

This program is also intended to support the free meals program, which will be implemented in January 2025, to boost public access to nutritious food.

Earlier, Minister of Agriculture Andi Amran Sulaiman announced that specific land areas have been set aside for dairy cattle farming in Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, and South Kalimantan. Enditem
