indonesian response to deteriorating situation, page-204

Benson,

I gave it a quick try with little success.
People supplying statistics want hundreds of $$ - I am not willing to pay for that ;)

found an article which confirmed what you have been stating.
However it is from WSPA Live Export Campaign so it might be biased.


"In relation to Indonesia, it’s important to note that a lot of the beef from animals exported live, ends up in the restaurant and hotel market, not wet markets.

It’s also important to note that Indonesia would not be our only market for chilled and frozen beef if we transitioned away from the trade, but notwithstanding that, let’s look at the refrigeration status in Indonesia.

According to the Indonesian Association of Electronics Entrepreneurs (quoted in the Australian newspaper of 14 June 2011) about 60% of Indonesian households have “at least one refrigerator”. Others claim the coverage is less. For instance, Euromonitor International, a major international strategy researcher for consumer markets, estimates the household penetration rate of fridge freezers will have grown to 45% by 2017, a doubling of the penetration rate since 2012.

Whatever is the actual penetration rate, all analysts agree that whereas wet markets still play a role in beef retailing in Indonesia, as the economy grows and people enjoy rising personal incomes, and consistent with the pattern in other developing countries, they will demand higher quality meat products sold in convenient ways in modern retail outlets. We need to be ready for this.

The Indonesian economy is growing rapidly, at about 6% per annum over the last 10 years. As reported by the 2011 Handbook of Energy and Economic Statistics of Indonesia, sales of electricity to the household tariff segment of the electricity market grew by 96% in the 10 years from 2000/01 to 2009/10. Over the same period sales of electricity to the commercial sector grew by 157%

A 2012 report by the US Department of Agriculture, (Indonesia’s Modern Retail Sector: Interaction with changing food consumption and trade patterns), notes that notwithstanding the current traditional retail outlets and wet markets, there is increasing dairy and meat consumption in Indonesia and there is an increasing share of food products being sold through supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores.”

Take action and let the government know you want to see a transition from live exports to a chilled and frozen meat trade. Head to www.wspaliveexports.org.au and take one minute to sign up. Thanks!"
