        "summary": "The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has called on the Nutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG) to utilise local food resources in order to mitigate sudden increases in the prices of certain raw materials for the government's free nutritious meal programme. BGN Head Dadan Hindayana highlighted the need for flexible menu planning that aligns with regional resources and preferences, citing an example where a uniform fried rice menu with eggs for President Prabowo Subianto's birthday celebration in October 2025 required 36 million eggs, leading to a Rp3,000 per kilogram price surge. He also clarified misconceptions about beef requirements, emphasising the importance of protein variety\u2014including eggs, chicken, beef, and fish\u2014to optimise nutritional ratios without overburdening supply chains.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has urged the\nNutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG) to empower local food sources\nin order to suppress spikes in the prices of certain raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>BGN Head Dadan Hindayana emphasised that his agency is adopting a\nflexible approach in compiling the nutritious meal (MBG) menus, by\nadapting to the potential of local resources and community preferences\nin each region.<\/p>\n<p>He recounted an experience during the celebration of President\nPrabowo Subianto\u2019s birthday on 17 October 2025, where SPPG standardised\nthe menu to complete fried rice with eggs as the MBG menu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat day required 36 million eggs or 2,200 tonnes. The impact was\nthat egg prices temporarily rose by Rp3,000 per kilogram,\u201d Dadan\nstated.<\/p>\n<p>The BGN Head also clarified his statement about beef needs that had\nbeen widely discussed on social media. He explained that the beef\nrequirement for one SPPG to serve all beneficiaries could reach one\ncow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, if SPPG wants to cook beef today. If all SPPG are\ninstructed to cook beef on a certain date, then it\u2019s just a matter of\nadding up the number of SPPG multiplied by one cow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dadan stated that in one cooking process, the beef requirement for\none SPPG could reach around 350 to 382 kilograms, which is why variety\nin protein sources in the menu is very important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are eggs, chicken meat, beef, and fish. For instance, if\ncooking beef, it requires 350 kilograms per cooking session, which means\none cow. This is the importance of nutritious eating so that the ration\ncapture is good. So, one cooking session of beef requires 382 (kg),\nwhich means one cow, just the meat,\u201d Dadan explained.<\/p>",
