Bogor MBG Programme Requires Rp 1 Trillion Per Month
Head of the National Nutrition Agency, Dadan Hindayana, stated that the budget required for the free nutritious meals (MBG) programme in Bogor Regency reaches Rp 1 trillion per month. This figure is a calculation from the projection of the number of nutrition fulfilment service units (SPPG), which amounts to 1,000 units, with each MBG kitchen unit requiring Rp 1 billion per month.
“This means that if one unit requires Rp 1 billion per month, the funds that will enter and circulate in the MBG programme here will reach Rp 1 trillion. That’s for one month, not one year,” said Dadan during his speech at the inauguration of SPPG 03 Cijujung, Sukaraja, Bogor Regency, on Wednesday, 15 April 2026.
Dadan explained that the figure already includes respective usage positions, including 70% for purchasing raw materials, 20% for SPPG operational costs, such as staff and employee salaries. Meanwhile, 10% of the total budget allocated by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) to SPPG managers is for paying or instalment payments on investment funds used to build SPPG facilities and infrastructure.
Today, there are approximately 27,000 SPPG that are 100% operational. “In 2025, we proposed planning to build around 1,540 (SPPG), but only about 314 were realised. Now, those that have been fully built using community funds represent an extraordinary investment from the public in welcoming this government programme. The repayment is as mentioned, 10% from the allocation,” said Dadan.
Dadan explained that the total budget used for the 27,000 SPPG built using funds or investments from the community reaches Rp 540 trillion. Dadan described this budget as a collaboration established between the government and its people in realising the MBG programme.
“But there is a definite repayment. However, the Rp 6 million incentive should not be called profit. Because that is purely an incentive given through government policy to the community contributing to this programme,” said Dadan.
Dadan stated that the BGN will establish Nutrition Fulfilment Service Offices (KPPG) consisting of civil servants or ASN with at least rank III. The main task of the KPPG is to manage, plan, supervise, and report on community nutrition fulfilment and the technical implementation of MBG distribution.
“Incidentally, we announce, please to competent and expert ASN in this field to enter and join the KPPG selection. This is for rank III, because they will supervise, plan, and report on community nutrition fulfilment activities in the regions,” said Dadan.
