The Partnership and BPPT hosted the inaugural Integrated Cattle and Oil Palm Production (ICOP) Conference in Jakarta in late October 2019. The conference was the first forum between Indonesia and Australia that specifically discussed the integration of cattle and oil palm production (otherwise known as SISKA), including the commercial opportunities, the day-to-day operational issues, and the inherent challenges of the business model. ICOP 2019 was attended by over 240 participants and involved more than 20 speakers and research reviewers, including international players from Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea.

The Best practice guide for the transport of cattle in Indonesia is a publication of the Indonesia Australia Partnership on Food Security in the Red Meat and Cattle Sector (the Partnership). The purpose of this guide is to illustrate best practices for handling cattle during transport and in the design and construction of transportation facilities. The guide covers livestock transport on land and at sea in Indonesia, from sourcing cattle through to discharge at their final destination. The guide focuses on and is relevant to both local and imported breeder or slaughter cattle and applies wherever transport may occur within Indonesia throughout the supply chain from ports through to farms, feedlots and abattoirs and everywhere in between.
