Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs, Zulkifli Hasan, has acknowledged a significant increase in the number of nutrition service points (SPPG) designated for the planned Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG). The number of SPPG locations has grown by 6,877, raising concerns about the program’s scope and potential costs. This expansion occurred during the planning stages of the MBG, a key initiative championed by presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto. Details surrounding the reasons for this increase have not been fully disclosed. The program aims to provide free, nutritious meals to students across the country. Further examination is expected regarding the logistical and financial implications of the expanded SPPG network. The revelation comes as the government prepares to implement the ambitious MBG initiative.
