Indonesia to import 100,000 tons of buffalo meat ahead of Ramadan

Jakarta, Feb 5 (UNI) Indonesia plans to import 100,000 tons of buffalo meat to maintain stable meat stocks ahead of the Ramadan season, which begins in March, the country's National Food Agency announced on Wednesday.
"The import of buffalo meat is intended to stabilize prices and ensure supply during the Eid al-Fitr celebration, as food commodity prices and demand typically rise during that period," said Arief Prasetyo Adi, head of the agency, during a press conference in Jakarta.
He said the meat would be sourced from India and would take approximately one month to reach Indonesia. He also noted that the import policy would take into account the protection of local farmers and ranchers.
