Indonesia
World Champion Young Butcher

Tri Wahyu Wahono (YB)

Tri is making history as Indonesia’s first representative in the 2025 World Butchers’ Challenge, having entered into the World Champion Young Butcher competition. His journey in butchery began in 2016 when he joined PT Global Pratama Wijaya (GPW), one of Indonesia’s top meat importers and distributors. Starting as a meatroom runner, Tri quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming the Head of Butchery in 2019. His passion didn’t stop there—he became a Certified Butcher Trainer in 2023, mentoring the next generation of butchers at Jakarta’s Butchery Training Centre (BTC).

Tri first heard about the World Butchers' Challenge from YouTube, where he was captivated by the amazing skills of butchers around the world. Inspired to take his own talents to the global stage, and with full support from GPW, Tri began his journey to represent Indonesia for the first time. He’s been preparing tirelessly, working with a variety of beef, lamb, and pork cuts to refine his skills. Tri is also collaborating with top culinary mentors to sharpen his techniques and creativity.

His training regimen involves perfecting his techniques, mastering presentation, and practicing under timed conditions to simulate the competition atmosphere. Tri’s dedication to his craft, attention to detail, and leadership continue to push the boundaries of butchery in Indonesia. We can’t wait to see him compete and showcase the incredible talent and passion that has defined his career.
