AUSTRALIA to help Indo develop ranches in Papua with the help of $60 million of Aust. tax payers funds over 10 years #banliveexport Agriculture Minister Suswono says that Indonesia and Australia are ready to move forward on a gigantic investment plan to develop ranches in Papua and West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), as a part of a rekindled effort to foster partnership and bolster investment in the beef and cattle trade. Suswono said on Tuesday that the government was readying Rp 1 trillion (US$87 million) to procure cattle and enhance infrastructure for building new ranches in the two provinces to boost Indonesia’s local cattle population amid surging beef prices and shrinking cow numbers. “This year we will disburse Rp 400 billion, which will be distributed equally to build necessary infrastructure in Papua and West Nusa Tenggara,” he said. thejakartapost/news/2013/10/03/australia-help-ri-develop-ranches-papua-ntb.html
