For decades, 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 to 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. Which the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture is more focused on strengthening at the moment.
“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 realize an independent country in terms of the fulfillment of livestock products, and at the same time, to improve the welfare of farmers,” said the Minister of Agriculture. The Minister of Trade also stated that Indonesia should be self-sufficient on livestock and be able to export these products. “The welfare of farmers is rising, and the poverty rate is decreasing. That is the government’s target,” he said.
