"The increase in demand for beef and the number of clients is not just in Indonesia but throughout South-East Asia," Mr Mulyana said.
"That is why we've sent such a large delegation in relation to other countries."
Indonesia has 90 delegates at Beef Australia, looking to explore co-operation to secure sufficient supply, which is expected to be 640,000 tonnes this year, an increase of 8% on last year.
He said Indonesia was exploring both live cattle and processed meat.
