The objectives of the study were to analyze the use of Domestic Resources Cost based on the most
prevalent typology of Bali cattle farm and to analyze the economic efficiency based on the typology of
Bali cattle farm in Plampang Sub-district Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). The study
was carried out in Plampang Sub-district, Sumbawa Regency in 2017, with 53 respondents selected
randomly and the key respondents were head of farms UPT, extension workers, inter-island traders,
agricultural equipment traders, as well as agricultural materials and medicines traders. The respondents were acquired by applying systematic random sampling based on the farm typology with survey
method and analyzed by the analysis of Domestic Resource Cost and analysis of Policy Analysis Matrix.
There were three most prevalent farm typologies of Bali cattle production system used by the farmers
in Plampang Sub-district, Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The most prevalent production
systems were: a typology of 6 months grazed (June-November) and 6 months confined (December-May)
which was called with an acronym as 66 typology, typology of tethered throughout the year called as
tethered typology, and typology of confined throughout the years called as confined typology. Bali cattle
comparative advantage based on the farm typology as shown by Domestic Resource Cost Ratio (DRCR)
values were 0.28 in 66 typology, 0.48 in tethered typology, and 0.31 in confined typology. It means that to
save Rp. 100 is required the domestic factor cost Rp. 28 of 66 typology; Rp. 48 of tethered typology, and
Rp. 31 of confined typology. Thus, it can be concluded that if domestic beef from Bali cattle is produced
domestically, it will save the foreign exchange as much as 72% of 66 typology; 54% of tethered typology;
and 69% of confined typology based on the import costs that must be spent. The competitive advantage is shown by the PCR values of 0.32 in 66 typology, 0.46 in tethered typology, and 0.35 in confined
typology
