# SE Asia Report: Trade partners reconnect in Rocky | Price gap remains - Beef Central

> Beef Central's May 2024 Southeast Asia report notes a wide price gap between Australian and Indonesian live feeder cattle prices. It also covers Indonesia's BULOG losing its role in buffalo meat import permits, and a heatwave in Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. The number of active live exporters by sea has fallen nearly 50% since 2005.

## Why it matters

Indonesia's shift in meat import control and the wide price gap affect Australian live cattle export demand and regional beef pricing. Heat stress in Southeast Asia may also affect local livestock performance.
