JAKARTA - Ahead of the celebration of Eid al-Adha, the turnover of beef traders at Jatinegara Market, East Jakarta, experienced a drastic decline of 50 percent on Wednesday, May 29.

"People's buyers are also less than certain people," said Hilal, one of the meat sellers at the location, Wednesday, May 29.

The decline in beef turnover really surprised traders. The reason is, beef prices are still relatively normal and there has been no increase.

"For turnover itself, it fell to 50 percent. Maybe if the price of meat is Rp. 100,000 per kilogram, people will buy it even though it is quarter kilograms," he said.

Based on observations, the price of local beef per kilogram is IDR 140 thousand. Meanwhile, imported beef is sold for IDR 130 thousand per kilogram.

"Because it is quiet, beef traders are also rarely opening their trade stalls because there are rarely buyers," he said.
