These regencies have vast farmland and a supportive climate. One of the largest dairy centers is Malang Regency, known as the “milk city” due to its many dairy farms that produce high-quality milk.

In addition, local government programs that provide technical support and training to farmers have been key to success. In recent years, dairy productivity in East Java has continued to rise, supported by modern technology and more efficient farming practices.

The Important Role of Dairy Farming for the Local Economy


The dairy industry in East Java is not only a source of livelihood for thousands of farmers but also contributes significantly to the province’s economy. This immense potential has also attracted investment interest from various parties, both domestically and internationally.

With the increasing awareness of the importance of consuming healthy dairy products, the potential for growth in the dairy sector in East Java is projected to continue rising. Moreover, the younger generation, especially Gen Z, who are more conscious of healthy lifestyles, have the potential to become the main consumers of high-quality local dairy products.
