Abstract

This study aims to formulate strategies for developing the Pelung chicken agribusiness system in Malang Raya as an effort to strengthen the sustainability of local poultry farming and preserve Indonesia^s genetic resources. Pelung chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a local breed with high economic and cultural value, particularly due to its distinctive crowing characteristics. The study utilized both primary and secondary data obtained through interviews, observations, and literature reviews. Data analysis was conducted using the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE), External Factor Evaluation (EFE), SWOT Analysis, and Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) to identify internal and external factors and to determine priority development strategies. The results showed that the total IFE score of 2.64 and EFE score of 2.87 placed the Pelung chicken agribusiness system in the ^hold and maintain^ position, indicating that the system is relatively stable and can be sustained and improved. The priority strategies derived from the QSPM analysis include: (1) optimizing local breeding stock with the support of academics and digital technology to produce superior breeds (TAS = 3.26), (2) utilizing experienced human resources and production technology to maintain breeding quality and prevent fraud (TAS = 3.13), and (3) developing pricing strategies based on niche market trends such as collectors, contests, and hobbyists (TAS = 3.07). Implementing these strategies highlights the importance of collaboration among farmer communities, academics, hobbyist associations, and the government in building an adaptive, competitive, and sustainable Pelung chicken agribusiness system.
