Abstract
This paper reviews the development of regional laying hen farming in Indonesia in an illustrative way, in addition to the economic contribution made by small farmers to the development of the country through the production of laying hens on their modest holdings and their ability to support self-sufficiency. By achieving the largest possible production of eggs and chickens, the aim is to determine the contribution of laying hens to the national economy and the self-sufficiency of small farmers. The study focused on small farmers in the regions of North Sumatra, West Java, Central Java, East Java, South Sulawesi, and West Nusatenggara. It was concluded from this study that the small farmers who had little capital for raising laying hens benefited from the net present value of IDR 36,213,611 in their favor. 4,233 heads were used, resulting in an average of 5,644 kg of eggs per month, IDR 98,996,826,00 in average monthly revenue, and IDR 16,418,183 in net profit. This meant that the laying hens’ business was profitable for both community and personal gain.
