JAKARTA - PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk (JPFA) stated its commitment to support President Prabowo Subianto's priority program, namely Free Nutrition Food (MBG).
Director of Corporate Affairs Japfa Rachmat Indrajaya assessed that the MBG program, which is one of the priorities of the Government, has the aim of improving the welfare and economy of the community, especially in the regions.
"Of course this MBG will also have a good impact on companies like us (JAPFA)," he said
He said that currently, JAPFA has begun to be involved in the supply chain of the MBG program, by providing raw materials for the Nutrition Food Production Center (SPMBG) or the MBG kitchen, either through direct or indirect channels.
Rachmat explained that the distribution was not carried out directly through cooperation with cooperatives, while distribution was directly given to the designated kitchens.
"Of course, with the existence of MBG, of course, the impact will be very clear, the positive impact on JAPFA itself," he said.
Meanwhile, JAPFA Corporate Financial Controller Erwin Djohan expressed his belief that the MBG program was able to have a positive effect on the national economy, so there was no reason for JAPFA not to support it.
"When talking about MBG itself, actually at JAPFA, if we look at the existing trends from the beginning it was launched to this day, it is our direct or indirectly increasing contribution," he said.
"This means that some of us go directly to the public kitchen, some are not direct. So maybe there are other parties, maybe cooperatives and so on who go straight there," he added.
He also emphasized that JAPFA's involvement in this program is part of the company's strategy to raise awareness of the importance of animal protein consumption, in order to reduce malnutrition and stunting problems in Indonesia.
Erwin emphasized that JAPFA consistently supports government policies aimed at increasing national economic conditions.
"Of course we will support all government programs. So we are sure that whatever program it actually depends on the perspective it uses. The atri is whether it is possible to improve structurality first so that first focus on one, while the other may be a bit reduced. But in the end, in my opinion, it is for the economic good, so we as business actors basically support it too," he concluded.
