A record of 3,762 tonnes of beef was shipped from Australia to Indonesia in April, an increase of 121 per cent from April 2007.
The
majority was manufacturing as the live trade caters for the Indonesian
fresh domestic beef market, Australian cow prices are very competitive
and the market which is now open to Brazil is going to become more
competitive with the high Australian dollar. All beef exports to
Indonesia have to be Halal slaughtered.
