The average Indonesian beef consumption has been steadily declining since 2018. This is despite reaching 0.2550 kilograms (kg) per capita per month the previous year.
Beef consumption decreased to 0.122 kg per capita per month in 2018. The following year, it further dropped to 0.058 kg per capita per month.
This decline is attributed to the yearly increase in beef prices. As a result, beef consumption is now limited to specific socioeconomic groups.
This contrasts with the affordability of chicken (broiler/native), leading many households to switch to chicken consumption.
Chicken consumption, conversely, has shown a yearly increase. In 2017, broiler/native chicken consumption stood at 0.513 kg per capita per month. This figure rose to 0.539 kg per capita per month in 2019.
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), consumption of animal protein is crucial. Failure to meet this need increases the risk of nutritional deficiencies and related illnesses.
