        "summary": "Indonesia's milk consumption remains the lowest in ASEAN at 17.76 litres per capita annually, with 75-80% of national demand met by imports due to weak domestic production. Cultural habits that exclude milk from daily diets are a key factor, though the government's Free Nutritious Meals programme is expected to boost consumption, particularly among children. The interplay between low production, import dependency, and policy interventions highlights a critical challenge for Indonesia's agricultural and food security agenda.",
        "content": "<p>Indonesia remains the country with the lowest milk consumption in\nASEAN, at 17.76 litres per capita per year. This figure aligns with\npersistently low domestic milk production, resulting in 75% to 80% of\nthe nation\u2019s milk needs still being met by imports. Commodity Expert at\nCNBC Indonesia Research, Emanuella Bungasmara Ega Tirta, stated that\nIndonesia\u2019s low milk consumption cannot be separated from cultural\nfactors that do not make milk a part of daily food and drink intake,\nwhich in turn impacts the lack of effort to boost national milk\nproduction. On the other hand, the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) programme\nis expected to become a pillar for increasing domestic milk consumption,\nespecially for children who are beneficiaries of MBG.<\/p>",
