Abstract
The development of region-based livestock commodities is the first step and plays an important role in formulating regional food security policies derived from animal protein, particularly from the aspect of the availability of food derived from animal protein. This paper aims to determine the potential for the development of superior livestock commodities to support the availability of animal protein based on the level of capability or regional potential of each region/regency in South Sulawesi. This information can be used as a reference in determining the appropriate regional development method for the development of livestock commodities in South Sulawesi. The research method emphasizes the analysis of secondary data obtained from BPS South Sulawesi in 2021. To find out the present status and potential for the development of livestock commodities for each district, Location Quotien (LQ) analysis is used, using indicators of population size and production of livestock commodities. The results showed: 1) based on the potential for the development of livestock commodities, goats, laying hens and ducks were the best livestock commodities in South Sulawesi because they had LQ values > 1 spread across 13 regencies, the second was beef cattle in 12 regencies and the third are native chicken and horse commodities with their distribution found in 11 regencies, and 2) based on regional potential, the regions/districts that have the highest potential for development of livestock commodities are Gowa, Maros and Selayar Islands Regencies.
