Dairy Processing Industry (IPS) Under Pressure from Rising Raw Material & Packaging Costs
Indonesia's dairy processing industry (IPS) is facing mounting cost pressures amid the ongoing Middle East conflict, with raw material prices rising 17%-34% and imported packaging costs up ~20%, compounded by rupiah depreciation. The Executive Director of AIPS noted that producers are being forced to adjust selling prices in 2Q26. On the demand side, consumer purchasing power remains weak, though the govt's free nutritious meal program (MBG) provided some support, with IPS sales growing 10% 20% in 1Q26 YoY depending on the company. Structurally, domestic fresh milk production stands at ~800k tons/year, covering only ~18% of industry needs, leaving 82% dependent on imports, making the sector highly vulnerable to FX volatility.

BCAS: AKRA IJ - 1Q26 – Strong Top-line Growth Offset by Margin Pressure, Slightly Below Ours and Cons
- In 1Q26, AKRA posted revenue of IDR 12.9 tn (–5.0% QoQ; +26.2% YoY), driven by stronger trading and distribution performance, broadly in line with our estimate (26.3%) and slightly above consensus (27.8%), indicating solid early-year top-line execution.
- Operationally, profitability softened QoQ, with gross profit at IDR 1.1 tn (–17.0% QoQ; +19.3% YoY) and EBIT at IDR 811 bn (–19.8% QoQ; +19.7% YoY), reflecting higher handling and packaging costs in trading and distribution, reducing TnD margin to 7.0% (vs 7.8% in 1Q25). Gross margin declined to 8.5% (–1.2ppt QoQ), while EBIT margin fell to 6.3% (–1.2ppt QoQ). 3M26 EBIT came in below our estimate (20.9%) and consensus (23.7%), indicating weaker-than-expected margin delivery.
- At the bottom line, 1Q26 net profit reached IDR 656 bn (–20.2% QoQ; +16.1% YoY), pressured by lower operating profit and softer other income, slightly below our estimate (22.8%) and broadly in line with consensus (24.2%), suggesting margin-led earnings drag despite solid revenue growth.
