Limited Jakarta Land, Dharma Jaya Will Make a 40-hectare Livestock Enclosure in Ciangir

JAKARTA - Perumda Dharma Jaya plans to use land of around 40 hectares in Ciangir, Tangerang Regency, as a location for cattle farms. The land is prepared to strengthen the capacity of meat supply as well as support the food security program.

Dharma Jaya President Director Raditya Endra Budiman said the plan to build a barn in Ciangir emerged after land limitations and eventually hindered the addition of cattle populations.

Raditya explained that the Ministry of Agriculture provided Dharma Jaya with a quota of 7,500 meat suppliers during 2026. However, the limitations of livestock facilities and RPH have made the food BUMD unable to bring in large numbers of cows.

"From 7,500 (quota procurement), if with the current condition of Dharma Jaya, we can only visit 590 (carcases in the first phase). Not because we are afraid it will not sell, but because of the place, we don't have it," Raditya told reporters, Friday, March 6.

Dharma Jaya previously had land of around 12 hectares in Serang which could actually accommodate up to 5,000 cows. However, the allocation of the land changed so that it could no longer be used to expand the livestock pen.

Therefore, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government began to look for alternative locations. After coordinating with the local government, land was found in Ciangir with a total area of about 100 hectares. Some of the land has been used for Ciangir Prison with an area of about 20 hectares. The remaining 70 hectares are still available.

"Well, this 70 hectares is what we want to use for the cage that we plan to build. Actually we don't need 70 hectares, but only 40 hectares more or less," said Raditya.

In the initial phase, Dharma Jaya will build livestock pens and feed processing warehouse facilities. In the long term, the area is also planned to become an integrated livestock area.

"In the future, the plan will be integrated, where there will also be a slaughterhouse (RPH), and there will also be a cold storage," said Raditya.

He assessed that the location in Ciangir was more conducive to the development of large-scale livestock because it was still far from residential areas.

Currently, the construction process is still in the administrative stage. The feasibility study (FS) document has been prepared and is now awaiting further discussion at the Regional Asset Management Agency (BPAD).

"If it's for the FS, everything has been completed, we just have to go to BPAD. We will convey it to BPAD and just wait for it to be scheduled for consolidation," continued Raditya.

Raditya targets that the construction permit can be obtained after Eid al-Adha this year so that the construction of the barn can immediately begin. If construction goes according to plan, the livestock barn is expected to be completed in about six months.

"So the target is, hopefully, by the end of this year it can be operated," he concluded.
