Bioindustry model of cocoa plant – goat livestock

Abstract

Biomass from cocoa plantations, such as rind, pulp, pruning of cocoa plants, and pruning of shade plants, can be processed into animal feed, forage, extracts of growth regulators, biochar. Goat manure can be processed into solid and liquid fertilizer. The purpose of this paper is to obtain some bio-industry that may be carried out by cocoa farmers who integrate farming with goats, additional income obtained, and other benefits from the integration. The results of the analysis of the goat cocoa integration model show that farmers get an additional income of Rp. 15,240,000, previous income was only Rp. 8.860.000/ha/year. Additional income from by-products of bioindustry can reach Rp. This bioindustry model is possible to be developed in various development areas, and also supports the goat population increase program.
