The head of the Central Java branch of the Indonesian Small-Scale Poultry Farmers Association (Pinsar) has stated that the uptake of chicken meat by school nutrition units (SPPG) remains low. Susilo acknowledged the limited absorption of chicken meat within the program, despite welcoming recent agreements intended to boost demand. This suggests a disconnect between the program’s goals and actual procurement from local poultry farmers. The issue impacts farmers’ ability to benefit from the government initiative designed to improve school children’s nutrition. Further details regarding the agreements and planned improvements to SPPG procurement were not immediately available. The association hopes to see increased demand in the future to support the local poultry industry and ensure consistent supply for the program. This situation highlights potential logistical or budgetary challenges within the school nutrition program.
