Infrastructure needs to support the flow of commodity (broiler eggs) in Blitar

Abstract

Blitar Regency is known as a centre for livestock production, especially in the commodity of broiler eggs. In the context of urban-rural linkages, one of the cities that became the orientation of Blitar Regency was Blitar City. Blitar City's egg production has not been able to meet the egg consumption target in Blitar City, therefore rural area role as a supplier of urban food ingredients is needed. However, based on the existing conditions in the field, it shows that there are problems in the provision of livestock production facilities, distribution and marketing of commodity broiler eggs in the Blitar region. The results showed the infrastructure requirements supporting the flow of commodity broiler eggs. In the context of urban-rural linkages, the provision of infrastructure to support the flow of superior commodities is needed to support the village's role as a supplier of urban foodstuffs so that urban food availability is maintained.
