Replace Imported Cattle Meat with Local Government, wrong way..

Jakarta Beef Committee disagreed with government policies that restrict imports of beef and replacing the local cattle as stock during 2013. The reason, local cows did not belong to the government, but the community.

KDS Chairman Jakarta Raya, Sarman Simanjoran, explains, can be used as a backup local cattle beef, but it can not be a national meat supply. Local beef, he explained, belongs to the community and is one of the investment communities.

For people who work as farmers, cattle help to perform activities in the field. The owner will not sell the cow, unless there is a specific event. "They only sell the cow when thanksgiving or need money," said Sarman in Jakarta, Wednesday, February 6, 2013.

As is known, the government restricted beef import quota by 80 thousand tons. The government made ​​the local cattle as a national meat stock. In addition, the 2011 census showed cows, East Java, as cattle barns at 14.8 million head of cattle.

"People use the cow for savings. Cows are not sold and the business world can not wait for it," he said.
