Project Overview

Benchmarking is a tool for assessing and comparing different businesses and organisations within a particular sector. Understanding the supply chain of beef products in Eastern Indonesia and being able to make a comparative analysis through effective benchmarking are positive steps to ensure more effective engagement of future activities. This project will assess and compare the beef sector of Eastern Indonesia in relation to global benchmarks in the beef cattle sector, that have been developed through a global 'agri benchmark'. The outcomes will help to advance the industry through 'better practice models', focusing initially on beef marketing channels across Eastern Indonesia and thus contributing to the development of a cost:benefit analysis of better feeding and watering of cattle during inter-island transport.
