Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Nanik S Deyang said that the construction of a kitchen and leased it to BGN is one of the solutions to the problem of the lack of a nutritional fulfillment service unit (SPPG) in the Jakarta area.
Nanik said the number of SPPGs in the Jakarta area is quite small when compared to areas outside Java. According to him, this is due to the problem of high land prices,
"We will treat it like in 3T areas or remote areas, where later there will be people who build kitchens and are rented directly by BGN," said Nanik when met after holding a limited meeting (ratas) with President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Thursday, October 20.
He conveyed the possibility that the government would look for investors to rent by BGN.
The government will continue to strive for MBG kitchens to remain so that children in Indonesia can get free nutrition fulfillment.
"So maybe there are investors who build and are rented by BGN. But the point is that there is not a single child who cannot accept MBG, right. So surely we will find a way so that it exists, there will still be a kitchen," he explained.
The Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) noted that the realization of the budget for the Free Nutrition Food (MBG) program had reached Rp41.3 trillion as of November 18, 2025, or 58.2 percent of the total budget ceiling set at Rp71 trillion.
This program has reached 41.9 million recipients, with 15,369 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) throughout Indonesia.
"For the realization of the budget, a budget of IDR 41.3 trillion has been realized, meaning that around 58 percent of the APBN allocation is IDR 71 trillion," said Deputy Minister of Finance (Wamenkeu) Suahasil Nazara at the press conference of the KiTa State Budget Edition November 2025, in Jakarta, Thursday.
Suahazil said there is still IDR 30 trillion that can be allocated for the MBG program in November and December 2025.
Based on the distribution of the region, Java Island became the largest beneficiary with 25.68 million people, followed by Sumatra as many as 8.6 million people, Sulawesi as many as 2.74 million people, Bali-Nusa Tenggara as many as 2.15 million people, Kalimantan as many as 1.70 million people, and Maluku-Papua as many as 0.69 million people.
Meanwhile, the MBG program has managed to absorb as many as 556,735 workers as of November 18, 2025.
Towards the end of the year, the government has accelerated the realization of the MBG program, which has doubled to reach IDR 41.3 trillion as of November 18, 2025, compared to the realization of IDR 20.6 trillion or 29 percent of the ceiling and reached 31.2 million recipients as of October 3, 2025.
