Chicken meat and offal market in Indonesia

Earlier Report Observations

The Indonesian chicken meat market volume increased to 3.9 million tons in 2019, supported by government regulations introduced in 2018 mandating cold chain systems for post-harvest handling to maintain product quality. However, volume declined to 3.6 million tons in 2020 as the industry began implementing HACCP systems and stricter hygiene protocols to enhance food safety control.

Market volume stabilized in 2021 before surging to 4.1 million tons in 2022, driven primarily by Singapore's approval of Indonesia as a supplier for frozen chicken, which opened a new export channel. Domestic market stability was reinforced by the National Food Agency's price reference regulations for chicken meat. In 2023, volume slightly adjusted to 4.1 million tons alongside the introduction of the new SNI 3924:2023 quality standard for carcasses and meat classification, while major companies like Japfa remained active in the frozen segment.
