Beef Threatened Only to be Enjoyed by the Upper Class
Indirect import policies are even more beneficial for the upper middle class. The government's step to import beef only becomes a short-term solution in overcoming stock problems and beef prices.
Pedagang menjajakan daging sapi yang ia terima dari pemotongan hewan sejak pagi di Pasar Senen, Jakarta Pusat (13/3/2023). Dari penyuplai, pedagang biasanya mengambil selisih Rp 5.000 hingga Rp. 15.000 per kilogram daging tergantung jenis potongannya.
The delicacy of beef and the nutrition obtained from it cannot be enjoyed by the whole community on Idul Fitri. This moment should be an opportunity for the lower class to be able to taste beef. The community can also be fooled by the unclear types of beef or buffalo meat circulating in traditional markets.
Referring to data analysis on consumer participation by Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the middle to upper-class community groups and households in big cities dominate beef consumption. This measurement is based on the amount of public consumption compared with the people who consume it, not the total population of that year.
