        "content": "<p>The Ministry of Finance reported that as of 21st February 2026, the\nbudget realisation for the free nutritious meal (MBG) programme has\nreached IDR 36.6 trillion. This figure represents 10.9% of the allocated\nMBG budget, which this year is set at IDR 335 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Minister of Finance, Suahasil Nazara, stated that the number\nof MBG recipients continues to increase. \u201cThese are the latest figures,\nas of 21st February 2026. If we look at the end of 2025, there were 53.8\nmillion recipients; currently, there are 60.24 million recipients,\u201d he\nsaid during a press conference on the state budget (APBN) in Jakarta,\nMonday, 23rd February 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll down to continue reading<\/p>\n<p>The number of recipients has increased significantly compared to the\nrealisation on 31st January 2025. At that time, the number of MBG\nrecipients was around 549,000 people served by 246 kitchens, also known\nas Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG).<\/p>\n<p>As of 21st February 2026, there are 23,678 SPPGs spread across the\ncountry, serving the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Minister of Finance, Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, had mentioned\nthe possibility of reallocating the 2026 MBG budget. The MBG budget has\nincreased from IDR 71 trillion in 2025 to IDR 335 trillion this\nyear.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya had expressed doubts that the entire budget would be used.\nAccording to his calculations, even if twice the amount of IDR 71\ntrillion were used, it would not reach IDR 300 trillion. \u201cSo, we will\nsee what can be made more efficient. We will move it to another place if\nit can be moved,\u201d he said in Tangerang, Banten, Thursday, 5th February\n2025.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that this step would be taken while ensuring that President\nPrabowo Subianto\u2019s flagship programme continues to run optimally. \u201cThe\ngoal is not to hinder the MBG programme but to encourage it to be more\nefficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The large MBG budget for 2026 is used to achieve a target of 82.9\nmillion beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance reported that\nthe MBG budget realisation on 31st December 2025 was only 72.5% of the\ntarget. This means that out of IDR 71 trillion, only IDR 51 trillion was\nused throughout last year.<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s Choice: Conflict of Interest: Police Overseeing Free\nNutritious Meals<\/p>",
