        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Coordinating Ministry for Food Affairs\n(Kemenko Pangan) is convinced that the utilisation of local food raw\nmaterials for the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme can stabilise\nprices while strengthening the national food ecosystem. Deputy for\nCoordination of Food Affordability and Security at Kemenko Pangan, Nani\nHendiarti, stated in Jakarta on Monday that efforts to maintain food\nstability are not only related to supply but also to strengthening\nintegrated governance. \u201cThe raw food materials come from local sources,\nwhich can first reduce prices. Because logistics costs are quite high,\nit can reduce by several percent if sourced from local food, and with\nlocal food, the ecosystem will be built,\u201d she said. The government, she\nadded, is preparing specific technical guidelines to ensure the food\nsupply for the MBG programme remains guaranteed by prioritising local\nsources. According to Nani, the use of local raw materials is the main\nstrategy because it can suppress logistics costs that have so far\ncontributed significantly to food prices. By utilising production from\nsurrounding areas, food ingredient prices are deemed able to be reduced\nsignificantly. In addition, this approach is also expected to build a\nstronger and more sustainable food ecosystem. The supply chain, she\nsaid, will involve various parties, from farmers and fishermen, UMKM\nactors, cooperatives, Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), to Merah Putih\nVillage Cooperatives (KDMP). Furthermore, she stated that the government\nwill encourage more mature planning of raw material needs, especially\nfor horticultural commodities. The government also ensures that all\nimplementations remain in accordance with the established governance\nregulations. Previously, she had stated that her side is drafting a\nDraft Coordinating Ministerial Regulation (Permenko) for Food Affairs\nregarding the local raw material supply chain for the MBG Programme. She\nsaid the establishment of this Permenko aims to implement the mandate of\nPresidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 115 of 2025 on the Governance\nof the Free Nutritious Meals Programme, which mandates Kemenko Pangan to\ncoordinate various ministries\/institutions in ensuring the food supply\nchain for MBG.<\/p>",
