For example, Gosyim Romansyah, who has 10 cattle on his land, receives about 100 gallons of dairy per day.  ,
He makes about 12 million rupiah ( US$ 730 ) per month from selling his milk on the local market.
The 35-year-old wants to earn more money, but it’s challenging to increase milk output.
” I have to increase the amount of grass if I increase the cattle people. Gosyim, who took over the family farm from his parents 12 years ago, said it is simple to purchase cows, but getting their supply is hard.  ,
He continued,” There is just not enough for more cattle to pasture on during the dry time,” noting that while vegetation is abundant during the rainy winter.
Indonesia’s dense population and competing requirements for area, such as palm oil crops, wheat production, and other plants, impose restrictions on the property available for cattle grazing, according to many producers.
COW AND MILK SHORTAGE
To join domestic demand, Indonesia now imports more than 80 % of its milk.  ,
As the country implements its free-meal program to serve more than 80 million individuals and other underserved groups, that gap is expected to grow even further.
The program aims to provide healthy foods, including milk, to combat malnutrition, which is a key promises of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
According to the Agriculture Ministry, milk production was accomplish 8.5 million tonnes, or 4.9 million kilos of milk needed for daily intake and 3.6 million kilos for the free food program.  ,
Farmers and businesses are already at odds with one another, with some claiming that dairy processing facilities prefer imported milk because it is more affordable.
Lactose producers in Central and East Java took a bath in milk in the city center last September to protest the government’s policy of giving local farmers more incentives and reducing their reliance on imported milk.
