Prioritization an Indicator for Measuring Sustainable Performance in the Food Supply Chain: Case of Beef Supply Chain

The first objective of this paper is to select the indicators that apply to each dimension to measure the sustainability performance in the beef supply chain. The second objective is to make a prioritization among the selected indicators. The study was carried out using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique as the basis for pairwise comparisons of three criteria (economic, environmental, and social) and eleven indicators. The eleven indicators are recognized from a literature survey and also from the field survey. The results showed that, out of the eleven indicators, the top three indicators are diversity and structure industry (ECO2), energy consumption (ENV2), and the number of employee per enterprise or the number of active workers per unit business in the cattle farm and slaughterhouse sector (SOC1). The result does not surprise since small-scale cattle systems are dominating the beef supply chain in Indonesia.
