In Asia, especially East Asia and Southeast Asia, pork is considered as important in food culture even in the Moslem-majority countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Although its commodity price is considered low in the international trade, the demand of pork is relatively stable. European Union is the current top exporter of pork, followed by United States and Canada, while China is the current top importer of pork followed by United States. Southeast Asia actually had a potential to develop its pork export but in reality, Southeast Asian countries still struggling to capitalize that opportunities. Between Southeast Asia countries only Thailand and Vietnam who are able to export their pork meat to other countries in a large scale. Therefore, we want to share the result of our qualitative study regarding this topic to enhance the knowledge about the condition and the prospect of this commodity and what barrier that hinder Southeast Asian countries from developing their pork market by using competitive advantage theory. The theory will be combined with pork farm in Surakarta, Indonesia as the study case. We hope the results of could contribute as reference to pork export development model in Southeast Asia.

In many countries, such knowledge is provided by cultural institutions such as museums and libraries. Recent discussion suggests that social media-including blogs, wikis and digital stories-may provide a creative solution to the ongoing interaction between cultural institutions and communities of interest. However, little applied research exists to demonstrate how social media can be established and maintained within museums and libraries, and what issues are raised within the institution by a more participatory approach to cultural communication. This paper highlights the implementation of a new program at the Australian Museum to train staff in social media production, in order to make the many thousands of objects and stories held within the Museum's collections more accessible and engaging to communities of interest.
