Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meals programme (MBG)

Launched on 6 January 2025 with 190 kitchens in 26 provinces, the Free Nutritious Meals programme (Makan Bergizi Gratis, MBG) gives free meals to pupils from pre-school to secondary school, to children under five and to pregnant and breastfeeding women. The meals are cooked by local kitchens (SPPG) run by partners under the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), created by Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2024; Presidential Regulation No. 115 of 2025 set the programme’s governance in November 2025. According to BGN, it reached about 55.1 million beneficiaries in January 2026, and its 2026 budget ceiling of Rp 268 trillion was later trimmed to Rp 229.75 trillion. Food-safety incidents (about 250 in 2025 according to BGN), thousands of kitchen suspensions and governance problems have fuelled the debate; since June 2026 the agency’s new leadership has refocused beneficiaries, paused new kitchens and cut costs.

Main measures

  • A National Nutrition Agency (BGN) answerable to the President carries out the national nutrition mission; it takes over the nutrition-insecurity functions of the National Food Agency (Presidential Regulation No. 83 of 2024, articles 2, 3 and 55).[3]
  • Target groups: pupils from early childhood to secondary education (general, vocational, religious, special and pesantren schools), children under five from six months, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and teachers and education staff; changes are decided by the President (Presidential Regulation No. 115 of 2025, article 4).[1][3]
  • Delivery by BGN service offices (KPPG) and local kitchens (SPPG): « agglomeration » kitchens serve at least 1,000 beneficiaries, « remote » kitchens fewer; kitchen staff are hired as government employees on contract (PPPK); BGN may partner with businesses, cooperatives, village enterprises, small firms and foundations to build and equip kitchens, including multi-year contracts (articles 14 to 20).[1]
  • Food safety: risk-based supervision of fresh and processed ingredients, kitchens and meals by the agriculture, fisheries and health ministries, the food agency and BPOM; a kitchen or beneficiaries must report a suspected poisoning at once to the nearest health facility or village head; programme indicators include the number of food-poisoning incidents (articles 8, 23 to 25).[1]
  • Nutrition standards set by BGN with the Health Ministry; halal certification where required; priority to domestic products and to micro and small businesses, cooperatives (including « Merah Putih » village cooperatives) and village enterprises in supply chains (articles 26, 28 and 38).[1]
  • Funding from the State budget (kitchen construction may also draw on regional budgets or partners); for acceleration, the head of BGN may award procurement by direct appointment, with review by the agency’s internal auditors; the head of BGN reports to the President at least every six months (articles 58, 59 and 61).[1]
  • An interministerial coordination team chaired by the Coordinating Minister for Food reports to the President at least every three months (Presidential Decree No. 28 of 2025).[5]
  • Cost rules set by BGN: an ingredient budget of Rp 8,000 to Rp 10,000 per portion, operating funds capped at Rp 3,000 per portion and a partner incentive of Rp 2,000 per portion since October 2026 (previously a flat Rp 6 million a day).[23][33][31]
  • A hygiene and sanitation certificate (SLHS) is a condition for running a kitchen; kitchens that fail BGN’s technical rules can be suspended.[29][23]

The debate

Citoyen takes no position: arguments are reported as their authors put them.

According to its supporters

  • The government presents the programme as an investment in a « healthy, smart and productive » generation that supports economic growth and poverty alleviation; BGN’s first head called it a strategic step for the growth of toddlers and schoolchildren towards the « Golden Indonesia 2045 » generation.[1][19]
  • BGN highlights the local economic effect: more than 780,000 kitchen workers and more than 46,000 small-business suppliers in 2025. A survey of 800 kitchens by the National Economic Council (DEN) found that 86.9 % worked with at least one local small business and that 99 % of kitchen workers lived nearby.[19][40]
  • According to the head of BGN, Sudaryono, children’s protein consumption rose from around 30 % to almost 80 % with the meals, and the share of pupils arriving at school hungry is now 14 % (figures he gave as approximate, « if I am not mistaken », without citing a study).[32]

According to its opponents

  • The health think tank CISDI called in September 2025 for a full moratorium and evaluation: it counted at least 5,626 poisoning cases in 17 provinces and blamed a rushed roll-out driven by the 82.9 million target, weak transparency and the lack, at the time, of a presidential regulation.[38](secondary source)
  • On nutrition, CISDI found that only 17 % of 29 sampled menus met the target of 30 to 35 % of daily energy needs and that 45 % included sweetened packaged milk, an ultra-processed product it says works against the programme’s aim.[39](secondary source)
  • On public finances, the World Bank notes that MBG spending reached 0.3 % of GDP in the first five months of 2026, about a third of the rise in total expenditure, as the deficit widened and borrowing costs rose; it calls for fiscal caution.[37]
