        "summary": "NasDem legislator Irma Suryani has called on the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) to prioritise community-led nutrition fulfilment units (SPPG) over institutional ones, emphasising the need to evaluate and close non-compliant or corrupt operations to ensure economic benefits reach the public. While supporting university involvement in SPPG to boost national nutrition, she stressed that such initiatives must not disrupt academic activities and urged clarity on the status of previously closed applications, many of which have left builders in limbo. BGN head Dadan Hindayana highlighted the opportunity for universities like Universitas Hasanuddin and IPB to lead in this area by establishing their own units.",
        "content": "<p>The target is economic growth for the public, isn\u2019t it? So the public\nshould be prioritised first; don\u2019t let the public struggle to set up\ntheir kitchens because institutions are also joining in,\u201d said Irma to\nreporters on Wednesday (6\/5\/2026). Irma asked BGN to first evaluate\nnutrition kitchens that do not meet standards. She highlighted several\nproblematic SPPGs due to human resources within them committing\nviolations. \u201cThe most important thing right now is for BGN to evaluate\nkitchens that do not meet standards and naughty SPPGs in providing menus\nthat have been reprimanded multiple times and should be closed,\u201d said\nIrma. \u201cIn addition, BGN\u2019s human resources in each SPPG must also be\nevaluated if that SPPG is corrupt,\u201d she added. Irma stated she has no\nissue with universities participating in establishing SPPGs. However,\nshe wants the establishment of SPPGs not to disrupt the teaching and\nlearning process. \u201cRegarding BGN involving universities to participate\nin building SPPGs, I think it\u2019s fine as long as it doesn\u2019t disrupt the\nteaching and learning process because SPPGs are business-oriented,\u201d said\nIrma. Irma then highlighted the opening of SPPGs that have already been\nclosed by BGN at present. The NasDem legislator wants clear and\nmeasurable information regarding that. \u201cIn my opinion, BGN must be clear\nfirst. The information is that the opening of SPPGs has been closed,\nconsidering that those currently in process have sufficiently met the\nSPPG needs across Indonesia. Moreover, many members of the public who\nhave already built SPPGs 100% are now confused due to the rollback\ndecision, leaving their fates uncertain,\u201d said Irma. \u201cPreviously, they\nwere told to build the structures first and then process them once 100%\ncomplete; some came to the DPR to complain about their fates because\nthey had already built but are confused because the portal is closed,\u201d\nshe added. Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Dadan Hindayana,\npreviously stated that universities could consider having at least one\nNutrition Fulfilment Service Unit (SPPG). This was said to help improve\nnational nutrition. \u201cI think universities need to understand this,\nbecause this is a big opportunity. At minimum, have one SPPG first, and\nif possible, the supplies come from the academic community itself,\u201d said\nDadan, quoted from Antara, on Thursday (30\/6\/2026). Universities in\nIndonesia that currently have SPPGs include Universitas Hasanuddin\n(Unhas). Then also IPB University and several private universities. \u201cIPB\nalready has one, several private higher education institutions already\nhave them, but the first in a state university in eastern Indonesia,\nUnhas is always leading in such matters and I congratulate them,\u201d said\nDadan, quoted from detikSulsel, on Thursday (30\/6\/2026).<\/p>",
