Jakarta, Indonesia – In a significant shift in trade dynamics, Indonesia has decided to import buffalo meat from Pakistan instead of India. The decision comes amid efforts to diversify its meat imports and strengthen trade ties with Pakistan.
According to industry sources, Indonesia previously relied heavily on Indian buffalo meat, but recent developments, including trade policies and supply chain considerations, have influenced this change. Pakistan’s meat industry has been expanding its exports, meeting international standards, and offering competitive pricing, making it a viable alternative for Indonesia.
Experts believe this move could boost Pakistan’s meat export industry, opening doors to other Southeast Asian markets. Meanwhile, Indian exporters are expected to face challenges in maintaining their share in the Indonesian market.
Officials from both Pakistan and Indonesia are expected to finalize the trade agreements soon, with the first shipments anticipated in the coming months.
