Risk Mitigation in the Beef Cattle Business of Maiwa Breeding Center Partners

The development of the livestock subsector aims to create a strong foundation, enhance the welfare of farmers, and support the growth of related sectors. Cattle farming faces market uncertainties and management challenges that can hinder performance and reduce profits, making risk management crucial. This study, conducted from May to July 2024 in Barru Regency, employs the House of Risk (HOR) method to analyze risks, given that this area is a center for beef cattle breeding at the Maiwa Breeding Center. The results from the identification and analysis in Stage 1 using the House of Risk (HOR) method indicate that the main risk agent is the inability to effectively communicate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to partner farmers, with an ARP value of 471 and a cumulative percentage of 18%. In Stage 2, it was found that livestock management training (PA2) is an effective and easily applicable mitigation strategy, with an effectiveness score of 10616, a difficulty level of 4, and an ETD of 2654. These findings suggest that while farmers face significant external risks, they need more support to address internal risks related to management practices.
