Cattle Integration with Oil Palm Plantation

Veterinary Division, Department of Agriculture identified the need to integrate cattle-rearing, representing the upstream segment of beef production, with the downstream, production segment. Following this, EPP Livestock: Full Value Chain was developed to incentivise downstream players to move upstream and vice versa through collaboration with players under EPP 5: Expansion of Cattle Integration with Oil Palm.

In Sarawak, this Programme targets the integration of 50,000 more heads of cattle in more than 1.5 million hectars of palm oil plantations in order to meet it 50% self sufficiency level by 2030.
