Internationalising the livestock market in one of the fastest
growing countries in Asia.
Indonesia is
considered as the largest economy in Southeast Asia. The middle class is set to
become a prominent force in the country. This is due not only to their huge
demographic, but also to their strong income growth prospects.
Investors will
find in Indonesia the ideal balance between booming demand for livestock
products and an abundance of agricultural and natural resources. As
Southeast Asia's largest country (and the world's fourth most populous at about
250 million people), Indonesia has witnessed a major boom in demand for
livestock products such as red meat, milk, eggs and beef and cattle. Of which
the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture is more focused on strengthening at the
moment.
The Indonesian
Minister of Agriculture commented, "This effort is the government's
commitment in pursuing self sufficiency of cattle production, targeted by
Indonesian President Joko Widodo, to be reached in 2026. This effort is
also to realise an independent country in terms of the fulfilment of
livestock products, and at the same time, to improve the welfare of
farmers."
The Minister of
Trade also remarked that Indonesia should be self-sufficient on
livestock and be able to export these products. He said, "The welfare of
farmers is rising, and the poverty rate is decreasing. That is
the governments target."
