Prabowo's Eid al-Adha Sacrificial Cattle Budget Reaches Rp100 Billion, Funded by National Budget

President Prabowo Subianto has distributed 1,098 sacrificial cattle for Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijriyah (2026), funded through the presidential social assistance budget from the national budget.

Deputy Minister of the State Secretariat Juri Ardiantoro told reporters at the Presidential Palace Complex in Central Jakarta on Tuesday, 26 May 2026: “The funding comes from the national budget via the presidential social assistance budget.”

He explained the government allocated approximately Rp100 billion for the 1,098 cattle, with prices varying based on weight and location. “The price of cattle varies according to their weight and regional differences, so we adjust the price per region. The total expenditure is around Rp100 billion,” he said.

One Simmental bull weighing 1.3 tonnes was sent to Istiqlal Mosque in Central Jakarta.

A total of 598 cattle will be distributed to 38 provinces and 514 regencies/cities. Ardiantoro noted that 46 regions lack cattle meeting the presidential weight standard of 800kg to 1.3 tonnes, hence some areas receive two cattle. “All provinces and regencies will receive 598 cattle,” he added.

Additionally, 500 cattle were allocated to educational institutions, Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), religious leaders and community figures. “For the regions, 598 cattle; for social and religious institutions, 500 cattle. Totaling 1,098 cattle,” he concluded.
