system one village one product ( OVOP ) Start Developed in garut

The system one village one product (OVOP) in the agribusiness field began to be developed in Kab. Garut. This matter aimed at increasing the level kesejahtaraan the farmer by applying the pattern of the management that was continuous with the concept that put the potential for the area forward.

“consep that was carried by OVOP that is developing the original potential for the area to be able to compete in the global level. Therefore, was needed by the policy platform of the government that took sides to petani,” said Chairman of the International Cooperative Development Fund Training (ICDF) Dr Asep Saefudin".
According to him, the potential size for the area that was owned the area must be matched by the pattern of the policy that took sides with the farmer. He demonstrated the existence of the firmness of the government to pressure the businessman's side or the modern market both the local and foreign businessman who arbitrarily slowed down payment to the farmer.
this caused a clear loss to the farmer's side, because now most uptil capital that was operational was ROLLED money went the farmer, as a result not the rare farmer who was stopping because of his money was not paid yet. Really, there was the farmer that complain about him slow payment by the modern market through to the sending to 20 or 22. This was significant, the farmer that subsidize entrepreneurs, "smoke words.
The OVOP concept must be as efforts to increase its competence, matched with Segmentation of the market. If not, capital and technology that were spent will be thrown away was in vain. "OVOP could cultivate local product competitiveness. Only, the market opportunity for the segment of the product that was produced from the local expertise must also pitch the accommodation so that not futile, "

Garut sheep

Basically, the sheep and goats, is a type of cattle that grass eater, both almost evenly spread and there in the world. But when we see the physical carefully so different from the goats and sheep. Body postures sheep tend to be more rounded than the goat that slim. Lobe and long-eared goats. The form of wool are more wavy and curls so that it can be used as a wool wool while another case with goats, which tend straight.

Cattle sheep which have now is a result of 3 types of wild sheep: Sheep Mouflon from Europe and Asia Minor, Argali sheep from Asia and Southeast Asia Urial. This was initially on the sheep in the wild eventually diternakkan by humans.

More valuable commercial
Compared with cattle, pigs, horses and buffalo among animals as cattle, sheep cattle has commercial value since 7SM century. Even the existence of the cattle in Indonesia, the sheep can be seen in relief around 800 BC to the Borobudur Temple. Because it is not surprising that the population far more sheep than the goats in the world.
Food data Agricultural Organization (FAO) in 2002, the number of sheep in the world, the population of around 1,034 billion while the head of a goat, only about 743 million. Largest population of sheep and goats in the country of China Bamboo curtains, where the second largest state in Australia for sheep and goats to India.
As part of the national farm sector, the demand for meat of sheep and goats in Indonesia are still far below the livestock sub-sector, such as chicken / poultry (56%), beef (23%) and pigs (13%). According to the Director General. Livestock - Deptan RI 2005, consumption of meat sheep and goats in the community that is still very low, only about 5%.
However, if the potential needs of meat in livestock is more or less each year about 5.6 million chickens to sacrifice the needs of worship only, and not including the need to supply aqiqah, a restaurant industry to sate sidewalk stalls that require 2 - 3 per head days, the population growth of sheep and goats that are not comparable with the number of requests increased.

Increased market demand
Potential has not yet calculated the market needs in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Singapore, and the Middle East each year that require more than 9.3 million sheep tails. Where the needs of the sheep meat supply the Middle East region is still fulfilled by the Australia and New Zealand.
Miris indeed, in which India as a country with a population of people in the Muslim world have the opportunity to do so. The growth of sheep and goat population in India is relatively small while the demand continues to increase more than the number of residents and improve the welfare of the community income.
Akan may not occur if the scarcity of meat production of sheep and goats so that the sacrifice of worship will be imported from Australia or New Zealand. In Indonesia, the presence of sheep and goat population is almost evenly spread across the region. Unfortunately, maintenance of cattle sheep and goats in this country are mostly still in small scale and traditional.
Unlike the Australians, the pattern with the support of intensive agricultural technology has made the country can produce large-scale production and quality of sheep. Just imagine, the total Australian lamb exports to the country of Saudi Arabia in 2006 was equivalent to 3.6 million head.
Population of cattle sheep and goats on the end of the year 2006 in the province of West Java area, namely around 3.5 million head or about 49% of the national population. In this province, even the type of cattle that are owned by small ruminansia plasma and sperm become characteristic of the province known as the nickname Parahyangan this earth.

Garut sheep, the sheep in the world's most rare
Garut sheep, Ovies Aries, is the result of 3 family crossing the nation sheep: Merino - Australia, Kaapstad from Africa and Java in Indonesia Ekor fat. Java Ekor fat sheep have already long since as the type of local sheep, Merino sheep brought by Dutch traders to India, while the sheep Kaapstad Arab traders brought to the land of Java around the 19th century.
Garut sheep is a type of tropical sheep is proliflic that can be delivered more than two (2) tails in 1 cycle of birth. Where in the period of 1 year, Garut Lamb can experience the birth of 2 cycles. Sheep have a weight average in the top of the other Indonesian local sheep.
Rams can have a weight of about 60 - 80 kg even have a reach of more than 100 kg. Meanwhile, sheep have many women in between 30 - 50 kg. Physical characteristics, namely men's Garut sheep horns, big and strong neck, with white, black, brown or a combination of the three. Female sheep horn is not dominant, but even a small horn with a similar color pattern Rams.
Garut sheep is the sperm plasma terlangka postures in the world because that is almost like a cattle Bison in the United States. Garut sheep population in India, of course, is in the West Java Province with the location of the spread, including: Garut, Majalengka, Kuningan, Cianjur, Sukabumi, Tasikmalaya, Bandung, Sumedang, Indramayu and Purwakarta.
Perhaps some of the sheep cattle almost identical Garut Lamb complaint with the boast that compete in the stunt arena. Garut sheep are exotic animals. Indeed, right up to the public at this time in the province of West Java are still compete stunt like sheep, but it needs to be straightened with the stunt arena that is now not to fight 2 Rams head to the point of blood efflux.

Changes have been made by farmers' organizations Sheep Goat Association of Indonesia (HPDKI) which is currently led by Drs. H.A.M Sampurna, MM. as general chairman and Drs. H. Rukmana Act as chairman of West Java province. Arena compete more speed at this time into the arena of art and culture in the bertemunya among breeders, penghobi, show room, transaction quality seeds sheep and tourism.
Some names, such as kang Ibing, puppeteer Asep Sunarya is a name that is known as the owner and Garut Lamb penghobi quality. Hobbies keep livestock Garut Lamb guaranteed not less kepuasannya akan keeping with other types of animals such as cats, fish, and so forth.

Hat's western boots up
Satisfaction when the horn sheep and Garut male can grow to the maximum or the beauty of color and marking produced. Boots, cowboy hat, black clothing is characteristic penghobi arena when it comes to art and culture compete dexterity. And do not wrong, the price of 1 head of cattle sheep Garut quality males can penghobi valued above 10 million rupiah even hundreds of million rupiah.
But that should be feared at this time is Garut sheep populations shrink further and the quality can be endangered in the back that is rich with nature profilik also. Lack of serious attention to the business sector of the population Garut Lamb superior found quite difficult. And this also makes livestock Garut Lamb needs to victims of worship more expensive. As disclosed by Drh. Zulkifli Abdul-Jabbar as the Secretary General of the sheep farmers Goat Association of Indonesia (HPDKI) in discussion with the author has not been this long.
This condition is of course be pitied, especially when we know the economic potential of cattle Garut sheep is not only synonymous with complaints sheep, sheep meat quality Garut also has nutritional value that is quite good compared to the goats to meet the consumption needs of the community. In addition, not only to use only the meat, skin Garut Sheep can become raw material for making high-quality jacket.
2005 data obtained from the website Garut district, based on industry standards Garut sheep leather jacket can absorb labor force in 2656 with export value of Rp. 84.7 billion to various destination countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Australia. Garut sheep cattle dung can provide benefits and value of benefits if treated as the making of organic fertilizer materials.
From the results of the research conducted, burly plant needs can be met in the provision of organic fertilizer with the results of the fermentation of the raw material of sheep dung is very useful for improving agricultural production.
A graduate of Japan's main researchers from Central Crops Research and medicine Aromatika - Bogor, Dr. Ir. Mesak Tombe, at this time to find the technology that already have patents to improve the quality of organic fertilizer produced from cattle dung, technology, called Bio Triba. Packed in the form of a liquid formula with the actual microorganisms B. Pantotkenticus strain J2 and T. Lactae strain TB1.
Technology has found Dr. Ir. Mesak Tombe very helpful in the process of maturation of cattle dung into organic fertilizer period between 1 - 2 weeks.

Livestock sector Business Options
Not only that, this technology can also be applied on organic waste processing market and the household. The benefits of this technology can also play a role as a bio-fungicide to control plant diseases. Is appropriate when the business sector of agriculture and livestock to be with each other.
Especially at this time farmers in the difficult position of increased production costs due to the price of fertilizer, which continues to rebound, on the other hand the desire of the farmers can not raise prices so that more low income earnings. Terbesit idea to combine livestock with Garut Lamb freshwater fisheries sector. Design corral sheep on the stage that consists of a swimming fish.
Local market segmentation, Garut sheep have the potential multi-user market. As presented by the Director of the Ramada Eka Agro Rama as the company's agribusiness concern in the business of cattle and sheep Garut organic agriculture. And this makes the cattle Garut Lamb worthy to be developed as an option in the livestock sector.
The biggest potential market is the first Garut Sheep livestock to meet the needs annual sacrifice of worship. Then follow the needs of both daily meat consumption of households, restaurants and cafes sate. Next is a aqiqah needs, and the last one is always looking for seeds penghobi Garut Lamb male winner.
Dr explanation. Ismeth Inounu, major field of research and genetic pemuliaan Center of Research and Development of Animal Husbandry (Puslitbangnak - Deptan RI), the visit to the location of the sheep farm Eka Agro Rama Garut, Bandung regency, West Java province in April, the government at this time to give serious attention the business sector for the development and multiplication of cattle sheep and goats, among others, Garut Lamb.
Not only pure groove pemuliaan program to restore the best quality livestock Garut sheep, but sheep composite development program to be able to produce offspring or seed a new winner also active to do. Berbagaimacam the invention of technology-related reproductive cattle sheep continue to be developed to facilitate efforts to improve production and quality of sheep, for example technology and hormonal laserpuntur needle that will be very useful for synchronizing birahi marriage and bulk.
The success of local lamb with Sumatra sheep and St Croix Island virgins barbados sheep and sheep with the sheep Garut sheep and Moulton St. Croix from France, is a joint development of the sheep was successfully performed by Puslitbangnak - RI Deptan application of the invention of technologies.
Not limited only to the location of livestock in Eka Agro Rama has also been successful development of composite sheep Garut Sheep Suffolk Sheep female with pejantan from the UK, and Garut female sheep with Merino pejantan - Australia has a quality far better akan Anakan so that they can meet the needs of meat consumption . Nature Yanuardi is as Director of Operations with the hands dinginnya successfully run the program development is a composite sheep.
In cattle and sheep business Garut Eka Agro Rama does not move itself. With the potential to penetrate the local market opportunities and a world that is still quite large. Dirintis joint effort from upstream to downstream sectors to achieve the desired business cattle. One partner is always working to help Eka Agro Rama in business development, among others, is Kampoeng Livestock - Wallet Dhua'fa Republika. The existence of Kampoeng Livestock - Wallet Dhua'fa Republika must diacungi thumbs in the development of livestock sub-sector in Indonesia, sheep goat.
Tebar Animal Sacrifice and 1000 Aqiqah being carried by livestock Kampoeng not only aims to promote the business of cattle sheep and goats in Indonesia, but also aims to help the poor in sheep meat consumption needs. As described Purnomo, Director of SPT as Kampoeng Livestock - Wallet Dhua'fa Republika. Eka Agro Rama own more focus at this time engaged in the business and the multiplication of Garut sheep. Garut sheep provision needs to sacrifice quality, aqiqah, with restaurants and cafés to sate pavement We are a dream, said Agus Ramada.
Invite a foreign country
With the stock Garut sheep population that is limited because many farmers were reluctant to membibitkan sheep, Eka Agro Rama apply belt system with the sale of offshore sapih Garut sheep. Garut sheep is a female superior engine production in the livestock business is run. But of course this is a business that requires the cooperation with various parties, both in production and marketing.
May not always Eka Agro Rama add capacity to the cage area is limited. The role of community organizations (HPDKI) here have a great contribution to map and develop potential in the existing network of more production can be directed to-door marketing are available. Eka Agro Rama through training activities that are held together Agromania and also Kampoeng Livestock akan always looking for breeder-breeder interested in new business development Garut sheep.
Not only training, technical assistance and guidance of cultivation and marketing access doors are also an important part of the post-training activities. Where should dirangkul as well as the media public information program soundingsetiap farm owned business, Agus Ramada firm. Puslitbangnak the role of space-space with livestock and the local provincial office as a base also can not be ignored, this is necessary so that breeders will not be blind to the application of technology.
Of course, not a small state foreign exchange income that can be obtained from the business management of intensive livestock Garut sheep. Especially with the market potential needs of meat sheep in the Middle East region as much as 30 thousand head per week. Does not work a light, easy and, of course, but it can be business opportunities that promise if we want to start thinking and move towards it. Long journey begins with small steps. Salam Sehat sheep farmers!

natural beauty of Garut

Garut (Dutch: Garoet) is one of the regencies in Indonesia's southern West Java province. Its area is 3,065.19 km² (1,183.48 mi²). Geographically, it lies between 6°57′34″ – 7°44′57″ South latitude and 107°24′34″ – 108°7′34″ East longitude. It is bordered by:
