246 Indicators portraying the policy impact to input in the shrimp farming
business are IT, NPCI, and FT. Positive IT value 5,943,027 shows that taxes are applied in the shrimp farming business. However, the NPCI value
1.025 explains that government intervention protects the tradable input in the shrimp farming business. Moreover, negative FT value -5,444,346
indicates that non-tradable inputs are subsidized. Indicators of policy impact to input and output are EPC, NT, PC, and SRP. Those indicators reflect
whether the government intervention protects or hampers the shrimp farming business. The value of EPC 2.340 reflects that government
policies are effective in protecting the domestic shrimp farming business. Positive value of NT 252,365,753 indicates that there was producer
surplus arose due to the government intervention. Moreover, the PC value that is greater than one 6.508 indicates that overall policies give incentives
to the domestic business. SRP value shows to what extent an agricultural system is being subsidized. Thus, the value of SRP 0.666 indicates that
the government intervention had made the domestic producer to spend less of private costs than its social costs in conducting the shrimp farming.
4. Conclusion and recommendation
Shrimp farming business of PT. SWK have competitive and comparative advantages in respect of the small value of PCR and DRC. Government
intervention in the shrimp culture impacts both on the output and input of the shrimp farming business. Overall implementation of policies gave
incentives to the shrimp farming business. Therefore, government intervention regarding the technical and economical aspect in enhancing
and improving domestic shrimp production is continuously to be done.

Abstract
Perceiving the importance of beef and cattle as high-valued commodities and the concern of sustaining under market liberalization,
many countries stimulate massive production and improve competitiveness, particularly Indonesia. Government put efforts which focused in the
production center such as Lampung through intervening the input and output sectors. However, it is arguable whether these interventions are
encouraged or discouraged competitiveness. The study assesses the competitiveness level and the policy implication to feedlots in Lampung by
employing Policy Analysis Matrix PAM. Feedlots in Lampung are shown to have comparative and competitive advantage according to Private Cost
Ratio PCR and Domestic Resource Cost DRC ratio of 0.53 and 0.77, respectively. Further, government efforts are proved to promote
competitiveness.

1. Introduction
The trade of valuable commodities such as beef and cattle gives an important contribution to the agricultural sector. Although the impact of
market liberalization remains unknown and unclear, many developed and developing countries are prepare to have a gain in international arena. For
this reason, many countries enthusiast to encourage production activities and at the same time, improve competitiveness.
Indonesia, as one of the net importing countries, has the same motivation, interpreted as the beef-self-sufficiency program, in order to be less reliant
on imported product. Although the import trend for the past 5 years shows a different direction, Indonesia still have the potential to improve its
productivity by looking at the adequate natural resources and supportive government intervention to promote competitiveness.
