In Indonesia, some poultry industry companies have up-dated their business to the IPI system. This system began in feed manufacturing, poultry breeding and even pharmacy laboratories and has ended up on company farms, poultry partnership businesses, poultry slaughtering and processing of poultry products.

In Indonesia, some poultry industry companies have up-dated their business to the IPI system. This system began in feed manufacturing, poultry breeding and even pharmacy laboratories and has ended up on company farms, poultry partnership businesses, poultry slaughtering and processing of poultry products.

Some people believe this system is like a monopoly because the companies using the system could dominate the market and cause the collapse of their competitors with low finance.

On the other hand, IPI company stakeholders say that this system is a move towards efficiency to help deal with the increasing production costs. The high production costs are caused by the increasing price of feedstuff and energy sources. By using the IPI system a company could stay competitive, grow and survive while improving the quality of products and service.
