Results were obtained from choices of recommendations which are elaborated in the form of strategy and policy implications based on expert opinions (expert judgment).

Using the QSPM, the results further suggest that the best strategy is priority strategy as seen from its QSPM value of 6,901.An integrated system between the beef cattle rancher and crop (rice and corn), implies that in order to achieve this goal, technology improvement and innovation play important roles, especially technology for the feed processing system.
