Kalangi", abstract = "This study aims to analyze the policy alternatives that could increase the income of small scale commercial-breed broiler farmer households. This study employs primary and secondary data, namely data of (1) prices, (2) production, input use, consumption, and income, and (3) elasticity. The results of the analysis demonstrated that the resultant of a combination between an increase in chicken meat price and maize import tariff abolishment policy were the best policy alternatives. These policies increased the income of small scale commercial-breed broiler farmer households from rice planting, broiler-raising, and commercial-breed layer-raising. Increasing the income of small scale commercial-breed broiler farmer households could be done through: (1) better application of maize production, harvest, and post-harvest technology, (2) improving the efficiency of production costs, especially in commercial broiler farm businesses and socialization of the importance of a balanced diet to encourage the growth of the demand for chicken meat, and (3) the maize import tariff abolishment policy.", issn = "23191473", journal = "IJAIR", keywords = "Restructuring;Income;Household;Commercial-Breed Broiler", month = "May", number = "6", pages = "591-595", title = "{P}oultry {R}estructuring and {P}olicy {A}lternatives in {I}ncreasing the {I}ncome of {F}armer {H}ouseholds in {I}ndonesia", volume = "7", year = "2019", }
