        "summary": "A director of a regional market company in Bogor has urged the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) to adopt an affirmative policy that involves local micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Nutrition Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG). He argued that traditional market traders are currently excluded from direct participation in the free nutritious meal programme, acting only as secondary suppliers. The proposal calls for clear pricing standards and the use of credible aggregators, such as regional-owned enterprises, to integrate thousands of small traders into the supply chain.",
        "content": "<p>Director of Perumda Pasar Tohaga in Bogor Regency, Hari Setiawan, has\nsuggested that the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) adopt an affirmative\npolicy involving local governments to include micro, small, and medium\nenterprises (MSMEs) and traders in the Nutrition Fulfilment Service\nUnits (SPPG). \u201cAs an evaluation, is it possible for BGN to have an\naffirmative policy by involving UMKM, traders, or economic actors?\nBecause so far, when asked, can traditional traders hold SPPG? In Bogor\nalone, there are six million residents served by our markets, so why can\nthese traders only be spectators or the second layer, instead of\nbecoming direct business actors?\u201d he said during a BGN podcast monitored\nin Jakarta on Monday. He believes that an affirmative policy from the\ngovernment requiring the absorption of products through traditional\nmarkets can foster a more robust grassroots economy, ensuring market\ntraders are not mere bystanders. \u201cThus, there is a local food ecosystem\nto support the Free Nutritious Meal Programme, so that this grassroots\neconomy can truly revolve,\u201d he stated. Hari highlighted several\nchallenges faced by traditional market traders in gaining direct access\nto SPPG, including the absence of standardised pricing or price\ntransparency from BGN. \u201cThis needs to be clarified because I see that\nSPPG prices vary. The traders are not aggregated; imagine, in one market\nalone there are thousands of traders, and across our 20 markets there\ncould be tens of thousands. It is impossible for SPPG to deal with 15\nindividual traders, so aggregation is needed. A credible aggregator is\nrequired, for instance, regional-owned enterprises across Indonesia\ncould act as aggregators like we do at Pasar Tohaga,\u201d he explained. He\nstressed the importance of good governance regarding a fair pricing\npolicy set by BGN as a solution to allow traditional market traders to\ngrow and move together with SPPG to ensure the success of the Free\nNutritious Meal Programme. \u201cThe highest retail price set in SPPG does\nnot yet have a standard, except perhaps for commodities like cooking oil\nand sugar, which are limited. However, a reference price for foodstuffs\ndoes not yet exist, and this perhaps needs to be agreed upon even though\nit may differ from region to region,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
