BGN Explains That Frozen SPPG Units May Still Receive Incentives

The Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Dadan Hindayana, stated that not all nutrition fulfilment service units (SPPG) that have been suspended will continue to receive the Rp 6 million daily incentive. The provision of incentives may continue depending on the cause of the suspension or the violation that occurred.

In cases of extraordinary incidents (KLB) such as poisoning, for example, the provision of incentives depends on the source of the problem. If the poisoning occurs due to negligence by partners or foundations, such as inadequate kitchen facilities or those not meeting standards, then that SPPG is not entitled to incentives.

The same applies if the poisoning case is triggered by non-fresh raw materials or errors by partners as raw material suppliers. “This includes unhealthy practices such as supplier monopolies or price manipulation, which clearly do not qualify for incentives,” Dadan said in a written statement on Wednesday, 29 April 2026.

Conversely, according to Dadan, SPPG remains entitled to incentives if the cause of the suspension stems from the kitchen implementation level. For example, kitchen workers not following standard operating procedures, such as cooking processes that are too hasty.

Dadan stated that this policy is in line with the technical guidelines for implementing the MBG programme. “In this case, errors assessed as operational in nature and still fixable without indications of systemic violations,” he said.

Furthermore, the IPB University lecturer assured that incentives will not be given if the SPPG is permanently terminated or experiences temporary suspension due to failure to meet readiness conditions. For instance, when major reconstruction or repairs occur that prevent the SPPG from functioning normally.

The major repairs referred to are conditions where the SPPG requires extensive fundamental fixes that cannot be completed in a short time. “The repairs could take a month or more because the environmental aspects are quite broad, both in terms of facilities, systems, and operational readiness,” Dadan explained.

As of today, Wednesday, 29 April 2026, BGN records 1,720 SPPG units that have been temporarily suspended. Of that number, 1,356 fall into the category of major violations and do not receive incentives.

Here are the provisions for suspension categories that form the basis for assessing incentive provision:

1. Prominent incident category not caused by a lack of fixed beneficiaries still receives incentives.

2. Prominent incident caused by a lack of fixed beneficiaries does not receive incentives.

3. Non-prominent incident category requiring minor repairs still receives incentives.

4. Non-prominent incident requiring repairs does not receive incentives.
