Abstract
Beef production in Bali is dominated by smallholders, just like the majority of Indonesian
agriculture. A wide range of policies has been implemented to enhance development of the
Bali beef industry. Knowledge about the distribution of the returns from the development of
the cattle industry, including marketing, informs decision making. This paper examines the
benefits from cattle development in a multi-stage production representation of the Bali beef
industry using equilibrium displacement modelling (EDM). Benefits are measured as
changes in economic surplus. The distribution of benefits among farmers, processors and
retailers is also examined.
