The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reports that beef consumption in Indonesia was 0.038 kilograms (kg)/capita/month in March 2021. This represents a 2.6% decrease compared to March 2020, when consumption was 0.039 kg/capita/month.

Consumption of chicken (broiler or kampung) was recorded at 0.538 kg/capita/month. This also decreased by 3.4% from the previous year, which was 0.557 kg/capita/month.

The decrease in consumption is attributed to rising prices. As a result, only certain segments of the population can afford to consume meat.

This situation contrasts with the consumption of other foods that are more affordable for the public. Consumption of fresh fish and shrimp increased by 6% from 1.428 kg/capita/month in March 2020 to 1.514 kg/capita/month in March 2021.

Tofu consumption was 0.675 kg/capita/month in March 2021, a 3.2% increase from the previous year's 0.654 kg/capita/month. Meanwhile, tempeh consumption increased by 4.2% from 0.599 kg/capita/month in March 2020 to 0.624 kg/capita/month.
