According to BPS data, Indonesia always experiences a deficit in beef production throughout the 2020-2025 period, because national beef production is always lower than its consumption needs.

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the volume of beef and buffalo meat consumption in Indonesia in 2025 will reach 787.4 thousand tons.

However, national beef and buffalo meat production in 2025 will only be 515.6 thousand tons, which is less than the consumption demand.

"In 2025, the fulfillment of beef and buffalo meat availability from local production in Indonesia will still experience a deficit of 271.82 thousand tons," BPS stated in its report.

Not only in 2025, a similar deficit has consistently occurred at least since 2020, as shown in the graph.

In the last six years, Indonesia has always experienced a deficit or shortage in beef and buffalo meat production, ranging from 202 thousand to 294 thousand tons per year.

Amidst the trend of production deficits, the Indonesian government is now reducing the meat import quota for private companies.

According to Teguh Boediyana, Executive Director of the Indonesian Meat Entrepreneurs and Processors Association (APPDI), the private meat import quota in 2025 will reach 180 thousand tons.

Meanwhile, in 2026, the private importer quota will only be 30 thousand tons, which is about 16% of this year's total meat import quota of 297 thousand tons.

Teguh believes this policy could trigger instability in the domestic meat industry.

"If there is no adequate quota, the consequence will be instability, and the easiest thing for entrepreneurs to do is layoffs," Teguh said, as reported by Antara on Saturday (10/1/2026).
