Abstract
Malaysia currently had achieved full self-sufficiency level in poultry industry.
However, the increase in demand for poultry meat due to boost in population and
demand for nutritional foods had provided greater pressure towards poultry industry
efficiency. Hence, the poultry production sector had been expanded and enlarged to
cope with the unexpected demand by Malaysian for poultry products. This situation
triggers the existence of integrated system called broiler chicken meat supply chain.
Therefore, this study aims to investigate the performance of broiler chicken meat
supply chain with the inclusions of environmental cost for sustainable production and
environment. The methods employed in this study are based on ELCC general
framework which consisted of three stages: 1) goal and scope definition, 2)
information gathering 3) identification of significant hotspot. However, the sensitivity
analysis that follows attempt to evaluate changes in key variables. The primary data
collected through face to face interview consisted of 1 breeder, 30 producers and 1
processor in Johor. The cost structure generated for operational expenditure show that
the feed cost had been the major expenditure in breeder and contract farm levels.
Meanwhile, for the processing plant, farm gate chicken had become the major
operational expense incurred. The environmental cost for the ecosystem was the
significant environmental cost hotspot and had been traced throughout the three stages
of broiler chicken meat production. After the inclusion of environmental cost in the
base line financial model, the performance evaluation results show that a small decline
in NPV and IRR value occurred. However, the NPV and IRR value for those three
stages are positive, even though the environmental cost was included in the cost of
production. Next, the sensitivity analysis was conducted and the results showed that
when different scenarios of environmental cost had been included at 5%, 10% and
15%, the NPV value are still positive but the value decline proportionately. In
summary the three stages of broiler chicken meat supply chain are feasible and viable to be implemented even after the environmental cost had been included in the cost of
production, and hence, the study was successful in modelling environmental cost in
the life cycle costing of broiler supply chain.
