Abstract

A literature review has been conducted to describe the anticipated effects of social-economic status transformation among farmers due to livestock biotechnology and industry shifting. In particular, it focused more on Indonesia, where lay the Indo-pacific region as a biogeographic area connecting tropical waters of the Indian and western part of the Pacific Ocean. This area is critical for the dynamic change of the global supply chain network and trade corridors. While a pandemic breaking of covid-19 affects the dynamic transformation, several indications could be identified. Firstly, smallholder livestock farming in developing countries such as Indonesia will gain a moment of accelerated growth by using a collective action model. This approach covers both supply and demand sides, whether using cooperative or contract farming institutions. Its targets are to achieve more productivity, efficiency, and decrease processing loss along with the supply chain. The effort to link smallholder livestock farming to the supply chain – based on the state’s legal acknowledgment – leads to greater sustainability. Within a more complex supply chain, there will be a larger role of smallholder livestock farming in the long-term period. An institutional and collaborative pathway should be followed to anticipate the requirement of an emerging food system. Its characters consisted of high demand for food safety, traceability, and compliance, which often work against smallholder capacities. Several factors affecting the smallholder livestock farmers’ social-economic status – due to market failures – really require the state policies intervention using its basic regulation. Using extension services or technical assistance, good infrastructures, good and reliable sources of information, certification and standard operating procedures will benefit for coordination to market access. These efforts will hold information asymmetry, high transaction cost, lack of coordination, and regulatory failures.
