Indonesian protein consumption decreased by 1.3% in 2020.

The Indonesian Food Security Agency (BKP) of the Ministry of Agriculture recorded that Indonesian protein consumption reached 62.05 grams per capita per day (gram/cap/day) in 2020. This figure is down 1.3% compared to the previous year, which reached 62.87 gram/cap/day.

However, this amount is still above the adequate protein consumption standard of 57 gram/cap/day. This means that Indonesian people's protein consumption is generally still sufficient daily.
