Officiated by President Megawati, the inaugural event showcased over 300 exhibitors from 20 countries including major integrators such as Charoen Pokphan, Japfa Comfeed, Sierad and Cibadak.

The potential for intensive animal production and processing in Indonesia is immense in view of 2 key factors: one, the huge population which is estimated at 224 million and two, the very low per capital consumption of meat which is one of the lowest in the region. More importantly, Indonesia needs to modernize its farming and processing technology to meet intense competition in the global markets. Blessed with huge natural resources including a hard working work force, Indonesia looks set to become a major meat producer in the region.
