According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in 2021 there was an increase in the number of slaughtered horses, sheep, and buffalo.
The number of slaughtered horses increased by 1.62% or 31 head compared to the previous year.
This was followed by an increase in the number of slaughtered sheep by 1.59% (an increase of 1,604 head), and buffalo by 0.59% (an increase of 150 head).
Meanwhile, the number of slaughtered pigs, goats, and cattle decreased.
The largest decrease occurred in the number of slaughtered pigs, which fell by 13.22% (a decrease of 56,093 head). Then, goats decreased by 8.92% (a decrease of 13,199 head) and cattle decreased by 4.62% (a decrease of 44,344 head).
At the beginning of 2021, there were 1,329 livestock slaughterhouses (RPH/TPH) spread across 34 provinces.
The number of RPH/TPH actively slaughtering livestock in each quarter was not the same. Some RPH/TPH conducted slaughtering in certain quarters, for example, quarters I, II, and III, but did not conduct any slaughtering in quarter IV.
This was due to a decrease in meat demand in the area of those RPH/TPH. Therefore, RPH/TPH in quarters I, II, and III were considered active, while in quarter IV they were considered temporarily closed, with the note that they would continue slaughtering in the following year.
