Beefed up Imports

Dozens of students swarmed the fried sausage vendor cart in front of State Junior High School 16 in Palmerah, Jakarta, on Thursday afternoon last week. The snack, made from processed beef and chicken, is a perennial favorite among schoolkids nationwide.

Most of the meat is still locally sourced. "But a growing number of products are imported," said National Meat Processors Association Executive Director Haniwar Sharif last Wednesday.
