        "content": "<p>Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sudaryono has requested prayers and\nsupport following his appointment by President Prabowo Subianto as the\nnew head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), succeeding Nanik S.\nDeyang. He expressed enthusiasm for the new role but acknowledged the\nimmense responsibility of implementing the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG)\nprogramme.<\/p>\n<p>Sudaryono stated that he has closely followed the development of the\nMBG programme from the outset, noting it was a priority for President\nPrabowo long before the campaign. \u201cThe MBG programme was actually a\npriority programme of the President that was discussed well before the\ncampaign, then became campaign material, and after he was inaugurated as\nPresident, it was to be implemented,\u201d Sudaryono said at the Ministry of\nAgriculture office in Jakarta on Wednesday (22\/7\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He confirmed the appointment came via a telephone call from Cabinet\nSecretary Teddy Indra Wijaya and was later announced by Minister of\nState Secretary Prasetyo Hadi. Sudaryono said his immediate focus is to\nperform his duties to the best of his ability once formally inaugurated.\n\u201cI ask for your prayers so that I can be trustworthy and successful in\ncarrying out this task,\u201d he said, declining to comment on current issues\nfacing the agency until he officially assumes the role.<\/p>\n<p>Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi confirmed the appointment\nis definitive and that Sudaryono will not hold concurrent positions,\nmeaning he must step down from his role as Deputy Minister of\nAgriculture. Hadi added that the government has no immediate plans to\nfill the vacant deputy minister position.<\/p>",
