        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto's flagship Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) programme is boosting economic activity by increasing demand for key food commodities, particularly horticultural vegetables, leading to higher incomes and improved welfare for farmers across Indonesia. Vegetables such as pakcoy, spinach, carrots, potatoes, chillies, and onions are seeing significant and widespread demand surges, prompting the Ministry of Agriculture to develop production clusters and implement farmer management and planting patterns to ensure a steady supply. This initiative highlights the programme's potential to stabilise the agricultural sector and support national food security.",
