Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono emphasized that meat imports are carried out to maintain the balance of the national commodity balance, as well as to ensure prices remain affordable so that Indonesian people's consumption of animal protein can continue to increase.
"So this is part of balancing our country's trade balance so that it is maintained in a safe condition," said Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono on the sidelines of receiving a visit from the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of Argentina Agustin Tejeda Rodriguez in.
Sudaryono explained that the government has calculated domestic meat production, public consumption needs, and determined the import volume through the Coordinating Ministry for Food's Coordination Meeting based on the agreed commodity balance.
