Quality Indonesia (QI), a company of the Malindo group, intends to expand its business with the rising demand for Peking duck carcass.

Currently QI is capable of producing 50 thousand DOD per month from its two Peking duck breeding farms located in Bogor, West Java. Next year, QI will add one new Peking duck breeding farm in Subang, West Java.
 

Strain of Peking ducks raised by QI are supplied by UK's Lincolnshire-based, Cherry Valley.

All final stock DOD is not raised entirely by QI, but also by local farmers with partnership model in many areas in West Java such as Bogor, Cianjur, Sukabumi and Bandung. Lim said, "Final stock DOD of Peking duck, feed and veterinary medicine are provided by QI, while local farmer provides cage and labour. The final stock DOD is raised up to three kilogrammes of body weight by local farmer. Hereafter, the ducks are harvested, slaughtered and delivered to restaurants and cafes in Indonesia by QI."

Peking duck carcasses sold by QI are in frozen form at a price of US$3.70 per kilogramme.

Lim believes that when Indonesia's economy continues to grow, the consumption of duck meat will also grow along with it.
