Indonesia has authorized 21 new Brazilian establishments to export beef, bringing the total number of SIFs (Federal Inspection Service) authorized to serve the Indonesian market to 73, belonging to 26 companies.
The approval came after an audit conducted by the Directorate-General for Livestock and Animal Health (DGLAHS) of the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture, between June 27 and July 5, 2026. All 21 Brazilian establishments audited were approved.
The new authorizations include units from Frigomarca, Frigorífico Silva, Frigosul, Golden Imex, JBS, Masterboi, Naturafrig, and Plena, all associated with the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (ABIEC), distributed across Acre, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul, Rondônia, São Paulo, and Tocantins.
Since 2025, Brazil has gained 52 new authorizations for the Indonesian market, increasing from 21 to 73 authorized plants, a growth of approximately 247%. The previous round took place in September of last year, with 17 new units. Also in 2025, Indonesia expanded access for Brazilian beef to products such as bone-in meat, offal, meat products, and meat preparations.
The trade relationship is keeping pace with this progress. Last year, Brazil exported 43,200 tons of beef to Indonesia, which ended 2025 as the 13th largest destination for Brazilian beef. With over 280 million inhabitants, Indonesia is consolidating itself as a relevant market for the strategy of diversifying the destinations of Brazilian beef.
The new authorizations are the result of negotiations conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) with Indonesian authorities, with technical support from the private sector, and reinforce the joint effort to expand the presence of Brazilian beef in the international market.
“This result shows the importance of the work that the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) has been doing in opening and expanding markets for Brazilian beef. Indonesia is an important partner, with whom we have much room to grow. Diversifying destinations strengthens the sector without altering a fundamental characteristic of our production: about 70% of the beef produced in Brazil remains in the domestic market. The more markets and plants that are authorized, the more opportunities we create for the entire chain,” highlighted Roberto Perosa, president of ABIEC.
