Bogor Regency (ANTARA) - The Head of the National Nutrition Agency\n(BGN), Dadan Hindayana, has emphasised that the Indonesian Chamber of\nCommerce and Industry (Kadin) is a key partner in accelerating the\nconstruction of kitchens for the Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG),\nor the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme kitchens.<\/p>\n
Dadan made this statement while inaugurating the Cijujung 03 SPPG in\nCijujung Village, Sukaraja Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, West Java, on\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
Dadan expressed appreciation for Kadin\u2019s contributions, particularly\nKadin Bogor Regency, which has actively participated in building and\noperating MBG kitchens within communities.<\/p>\n
\u201cI extend my utmost thanks to Kadin. You are all red-and-white\nwarriors,\u201d said Dadan.<\/p>\n
He stressed that without the involvement of partners like Kadin, the\nconstruction of SPPG facilities would proceed much more slowly if\nreliant solely on the government.<\/p>\n
According to him, BGN has a budget of around Rp6 trillion for SPPG\nconstruction in 2025, but its realisation is limited and not all\nfacilities are yet operational.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe role of these partners is extraordinary. Without partners, we\nwould face great difficulties in accelerating SPPG construction,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
Dadan explained that the existence of SPPG is not only focused on\nfulfilling community nutrition but also on driving local economic\ngrowth.<\/p>\n
One SPPG kitchen, he said, can manage a budget of up to Rp1 billion\nper month, with the majority used to purchase raw materials from\nfarmers, herders, fishermen, and MSME actors.<\/p>\n
Additionally, SPPG operations absorb local labour, with dozens of\nvolunteers recruited from the surrounding community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not just about nutrition, but also about mobilising the\ncommunity economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also emphasised the importance of strengthening the supply chain\nto ensure that SPPG food needs can be met sustainably.<\/p>\n
Dadan hopes that collaboration between the government, business\nworld, and society can continue to be strengthened to ensure the MBG\nprogramme runs optimally and provides broad benefits.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Chair of Kadin Bogor Regency, Sintha Dec Checawaty,\nstated her side\u2019s commitment to fully supporting the MBG programme\nthrough the construction of SPPG kitchens.<\/p>\n
She noted that Kadin views the MBG programme as a strategic step to\ndirectly mobilise the community economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to providing the best services to the community and\nfully supporting the government programme,\u201d said Sintha.<\/p>\n
Through this collaboration, it is hoped that the MBG programme will\nnot only improve community nutrition quality but also strengthen\nregional economic resilience.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/head-of-bgn-kadin-becomes-key-partner-in-building-mbg-kitchens-1776246655", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
