Danish Livestock Business Delegation to Indonesia with Danish Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries

The Embassy of Denmark in Jakarta and the Danish Agriculture & Food Council (DAFC) invite you to participate in an export promotion to Indonesia focusing on the livestock (Cattle, Poultry and Pork) value chain.

INDONESIA – YOUR KEY ACCESS TO ASEAN’S LARGEST MARKET
The delegation is set up to maximize Danish companies’ presence in Indonesia within the livestock value chain.  

WHY INDONESIA?

• As the 4th biggest population in the world, Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia and is the only member of G20 from the area. 
• Indonesia is one of the world’s fastest-growing and comparatively urbanized consumer markets, with economic growth (real GDP) projected to be 5.1%.
• The middle class has been growing faster than other groups; there are now at least 52 million Indonesians in middle class.

OPPORTUNITIES IN INDONESIA

Poultry

• The poultry industry in Indonesia is a key sector for the national economy, supplying more than the half of all animal protein demand in the country.
• Chicken consumption in Indonesia increased from 3.5 to 6 kilograms per person per year between 2010 and 2019.
• In 2021, the chicken production in Indonesia amounted to approximately 3.56 billion heads. 
• The downstream sector of the poultry industry, i.e. the process chain close to the end user, such as processing and sales, is comparatively well developed for the big players. However, there are deficits in the steps upstream of production.
• Additionally, as demand for chicken is increasing, demand for the import of technology for keeping, feeding, medical care, transport and slaughter, as well as cooling and storage is also increasing.

Dairy

• Indonesia’s milk production in 2022 was significantly affected by a Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak that began mid-April. On average, post-outbreak milk production is 35% below the pre-FMD production rate.
• Total dairy consumption in 2022 is estimated at 4.25 MMT. It is estimated that total dairy consumption will increase 6% in 2023 based on continuing strong retail demand for milk.
• The government is keen to encourage the development of national dairy. However, several issues impact on dairy industry development in Indonesia, including: scarcity of forage and high price of dairy cattle feed and concentrates, low dairy cattle productivity (an average of about 10 litres of milk per cow per day), farm and herd management practices limited, as well as access to high-quality genetics.

Beef and pork

• There has always been a gap between supply and demand of beef with national beef production only satisfying about 45% of demand, which has prompted the government to increase self-sufficiency efforts.
• Efforts to increase cattle production will require technology imports especially in regard to disease prevention, provision of quality feed and optimization of insemination.
• As a predominantly Muslim country, pork consumption in Indonesia remains minimal compared to the other markets in Southeast Asia. However, Indonesia still produces an increasing amount of pork every year, exporting a substantial amount to Singapore.
• Commercial priorities within the sector include breeding genetically superior pigs, disease prevention and improvement of nutrition to lower mortality and gain higher profits.
• Efficient slaughter facilities to ensure high quality and hygiene is in demand if applicable to Indonesian structure and price level.
• Additionally, the handling of environmental pollution surrounding the farms is clearly an under-emphasised issue for the industry in Indonesia, which will require supporting bio solutions and technology to tackle. 

WHO SHOULD JOIN?
The delegation is open to participation from companies engaged in the entire value chain of livestock production, e.g.:

• Breeding and genetics
• Feed and feed additives
• Farm equipment and biosecurity
• Food processing and laboratory technology
• Infrastructure, cold storage and transportation

Companies mentioned in the sectors above, that are either looking into penetrating the Indonesian market and/or already present in the market will benefit from participating in the delegation.
