INDONESIA is the largest market for Australian live cattle, taking over 50 per cent of cattle exported, importing 509,110 head in 2016-17. 

A number of Australian companies have invested in the Indonesian supply chain, with significant interests in feedlots, abattoirs and breeding programs. One such example, Juang Jaya Abdi Alam, consists of cattle importing, feeding and fattening, plus a number of breeding projects, generating flow-on employment to 12,000 Indonesians.
