The Resilience of Cattle Farmer Cooperatives in the Midst of Global Dynamics: A Study on Koperasi Peternak Sapi Bandung Utara Lembang

Abstract

. Koperasi Peternak Sapi Bandung Utara (KPSBU) Lembang is a leading dairy cooperative with over 7,000 members and daily milk production exceeding 200 tons. This study analyzes its adaptation and innovation strategies to sustain production resilience and member welfare amid climate and economic pressures. Using interviews with cooperative leaders, member farmers, and field observations, the research identifies key practices: silage and concentrated feed production to reduce dependence on seasonal fodder, biogas and organic fertilizer from livestock waste, and digitalized milk distribution networks that ensure stable market access. Member engagement, transparent governance, and government support further strengthen resilience. A SWOT analysis highlights climate change and market competition as challenges, but strong member solidarity and technological opportunities as strategic advantages. Findings underscore that cooperative sustainability in globalization depends on continuous innovation, digital transformation, and multi-stakeholder collaboration
