In a major boost for Pakistan’s meat industry, Indonesia has prioritised Pakistani buffalo meat over Indian beef due to its lower cost and increasing global recognition.

The decision marks a significant shift in Indonesia’s import preferences, enhancing Pakistan’s export potential.

The National Food Agency of Indonesia has confirmed plans to import 100,000 metric tonnes of buffalo meat from Pakistan.

This move aligns with Indonesia’s broader target of importing 180,000 metric tonnes of beef and 100,000 metric tonnes of buffalo meat this year.

Pakistan’s competitive pricing has made it Indonesia’s top choice, solidifying its position in the global meat market.

With India historically dominating the sector, this shift is expected to drive a substantial increase in Pakistan’s meat exports.

The decision is also poised to boost Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves and contribute significantly to the national economy.

As demand for Pakistani meat surges, experts predict a stronger foothold in international markets, reinforcing the country’s growing reputation as a reliable and cost-effective meat exporter.
