Pork is one of the animal protein sources consumed by some Indonesian people. The Directorate of Livestock Breeding and Production of the Ministry of Agriculture recorded a pig population of 9.07 million with pork production reaching 241,100 tons in 2020. This figure ranks fourth largest after broiler chicken, native chicken, and beef production.
The largest pork production comes from Bali, reaching 72,500 tons last year. East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) is in second place with 47,000 tons of pork production.
Furthermore, pork production in North Sumatra reached 40,500 tons. Meanwhile, pork production in North Sulawesi and West Kalimantan reached 23,400 tons and 11,500 tons, respectively.
Pig farming in Indonesia has been carried out for a considerable period. Pigs are monogastric and prolific animals, producing many offspring per birth. Moreover, pigs grow quickly and can be marketed at six months old.
Pigs are also the most efficient livestock in converting feed into meat. Every 3.4-3.6 kilograms (kg) of pig feed will produce 1 kg of edible meat.
