Bogor Regency - The Bogor Regency Government in West Java has\nincreased its target for developing Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units\n(SPPG) from 500 to 700 kitchens as part of implementing the free\nnutritious meal programme in the region.<\/p>\n
Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto stated that the target increase was\nundertaken in response to growing service needs and significant\npotential economic benefits for Bogor Regency residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the original 500, we have re-evaluated to nearly 700. Overall,\nthe programme is running well, though there are still several\nconstruction phases ongoing,\u201d said Rudy at the launch of SPPG operations\nat Polres Bogor 9 in Cibungbulang on Monday.<\/p>\n
He explained that the 700 SPPG kitchens are not only intended to meet\nnutritional needs of students but also have the potential to create new\nemployment opportunities. Each kitchen employs an average of 45 to 47\nworkers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf one kitchen averages 45 workers, then with a target of 700\nkitchens, we can create job opportunities for approximately 35,000 Bogor\nresidents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Beyond employment, Rudy believes the programme will drive local\neconomic circulation as food procurement is prioritised from Bogor\nRegency, such as rice, chicken, vegetables, and other agricultural\ncommodities.<\/p>\n
According to him, the SPPG programme is a state initiative that not\nonly focuses on providing nutritious meals but also stimulates community\neconomics through local supply chains.<\/p>\n
Bogor Regency Government, alongside TNI, National Police, and the\nRegional Legislative Council, will conduct regular monitoring of SPPG\noperations, particularly after Eid Al-Fitr when normal school activities\nresume.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will visit several SPPG facilities. If we find any issues, we\nwill collaborate with model kitchens to ensure consistent service\nstandards and quality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bogor Regency Government hopes the increased SPPG target will expand\nprogramme benefits, both in terms of public nutrition fulfilment and\nsustainable local economic strengthening.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bogor Police Chief AKBP Wikha Ardilestanto stated that\nBogor Police Force manages 12 SPPG units that are gradually beginning\noperations. The SPPG officially launched in Cibungbulang serves\napproximately 1,800 beneficiaries.<\/p>\n
He added that the SPPG kitchens managed by Bogor Police Force have a\nfood quality assurance mechanism through testing by the Medical and\nHealth Section team before food is distributed to beneficiaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery meal is tested to ensure safety and health standards before\ndistribution to beneficiaries,\u201d said Wikha.<\/p>\n
During Ramadan, food distribution is adjusted according to technical\nguidelines in the form of dry food that can be consumed after students\nreturn from school.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bogor-regency-increases-sppg-target-from-500-to-700-kitchens-1772466977", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
