From Andi's statement, beef traders, the increase in meat prices is as usual as in previous years when entering the month of Ramadan.
"The price has increased to Rp130 thousand, later it will definitely increase again to Rp140 thousand. It will increase to Rp10 thousand from 1 week ago," he told reporters, Monday, March 13.
With the increase in beef prices, buyers complained. Even so, the sale of meat is still running normally.

However, as in the previous year, beef prices will continue to soar until they approach the upcoming Eid holiday.
