According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia imported 321,040 tons of milk during the January-August 2024 period.

This figure represents the import volume of commodities under the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) 022, which includes milk, cream, and milk products other than butter and cheese.

Indonesia's milk imports in January-August this year increased by 9.9% compared to January-August 2023.

The volume is also higher than imports in January-August 2019-2021, as shown in the graph.

Meanwhile, according to the Indonesian Dairy Cattle Farmers Association (APSPI), the large volume of imports has caused several milk factories to reduce their absorption of fresh milk from local farmers.

In early November 2024, dairy cattle farmers in Central Java and East Java protested this situation by dumping their milk.

"The milk production in Blitar, Tulungagung, Salatiga, Pasuruan, and Semarang Regency has ended up being largely discarded," said APSPI Chairman Agus Warsito to *Katadata* on Monday (11/11/2024).

"The government must be firm in ensuring that factories absorb domestically produced fresh milk. Don't dream of prospering local farmers if the raw material for milk in factories still depends on imported milk powder," he said.
