JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized the many benefits of the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program. In addition to increasing the quality of nutrition of Indonesian children, it is also a driving force for the people's economy, especially creating jobs on a large scale.
This was conveyed by President Prabowo Subianto in a dialogue session with the Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Forbes Media Steve Forbes, at the Forbes Global CEO Conference 2025 which was held at St. Regis, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 15.
Prabowo expressed his optimism for the 8 percent economic growth target which he considered very achievable. According to President Prabowo, the MBG program has created 1.5 million jobs.
Furthermore, President Prabowo said that the economic impact of this program far exceeds the direct labor figure. Each MBG kitchen triggers the formation of a new supply chain that empowers farmers, breeders, fishermen, and small business actors around the production site.
