Minister of Agriculture Regulation No. 14 of 2020 concerning Registration and Licensing of Livestock Businesses

This Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture lays down detailed provisions concerning registration and business licensing procedures in the livestock sector. The primary objective of this instrument is to facilitate, streamline, and accelerate business licensing services for livestock activities. The scope of the regulation encompasses the classification of livestock business types and specific business scales, procedural guidelines for obtaining business licenses, as well as institutional supervisory and reporting mechanisms.
Livestock business operations are divided into cultivation (animal production/farming) and breeding activities, covering both ruminant (such as beef cattle, dairy cattle, buffalo, goats, sheep, and deer) and non-ruminant livestock (such as horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, and quail). Business scales are determined by head count limits into micro, small, medium, and large scales. Smallholders conducting micro-scale farming must undergo registration to obtain a Proof of Data Collection (TBP) issued by local authorities, whereas small-scale farmers must acquire a Registration Certificate (STD) through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system. Medium and large-scale livestock enterprises, along with all breeding operations across all scale levels, are required to obtain a formal Livestock Business Permit issued via the OSS system. Additionally, joint ventures or foreign investment partnerships require a Technical Recommendation (Rekomtek) issued by the Director General of Livestock and Animal Health Services.
Supervision over livestock activities is executed directly through field compliance checks and indirectly through mandatory reporting by the Minister, provincial governors, and regents or mayors within their respective jurisdictional authority. Regents and mayors may collaborate with certified livestock and animal health professionals to carry out monitoring functions. Livestock businesses holding permits must submit quarterly business development reports online or in writing. Non-compliance with mandatory licensing obligations, good breeding or good farming practices, or reporting requirements subjects operators to administrative sanctions issued by the OSS system on behalf of local government heads, ranging from written warnings and temporary business suspension to the total revocation of certificates or business permits.
