President Prabowo Subianto recently announced the success of Indonesia’s Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program, which has gained international recognition and is now a topic of discussion in global diplomatic circles. The program, aimed at providing nutritious meals to schoolchildren, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers, has received positive feedback and interest from other countries. As of July 2025, the MBG program has benefitted over six million individuals, predominantly children and pregnant women. President Prabowo expressed his optimism for the program’s continued growth, with a target of reaching 20 million beneficiaries by the end of August 2025, possibly exceeding that number. The MBG program not only addresses malnutrition but also supports local food producers and vendors, promotes social equity, and contributes to the long-term development of the nation. It plays a crucial role in building a strong and healthy next generation while stimulating economic activity in communities. The success of the MBG program reflects the government’s commitment to improving nutrition and overall well-being in Indonesia.
