Indonesia: Short Beef Supply Spells Long-Term Prospects

Rising personal incomes are making beef more affordable in Indonesia despite high global prices. Industry experts anticipate double-digit growth rates for the beef market in Southeast Asia's largest economy, which opens up attractive opportunities for foreign exporters and investors.

Prodding Indonesia’s Local Cattle Industry

Indonesia’s per capita consumption of beef, which currently stands at just less than 3 kg annually, is expected to hit double digit growth within the next two decades; a significant increase from its present rate of 4.2% (Ministry of Trade) and very much indicative of rising demand for red meat in South East Asia’s largest economy.
Dairy
