JAKARTA - PT Rajawali Nusantara Indonesia (Persero) or ID FOOD has again distributed food assistance in the form of eggs and chicken meat to prevent stunting. ID FOOD President Director Frans Marganda Tambunan claims that the food assistance is entirely from local breeders.

"I convey that we bought all the products distributed from independent, local breeders," said Frans at a press conference on the Initial Distribution of Assistance for Handling Stunting in 2024 at the Jatisampurna District Office, Bekasi City, Friday, March 15.

Frans said that the priority food sources for stunting management assistance were prioritized from local breeders in the province where distribution was distributed. "So in East Java, for example. The farmers also come from there," he said.

It is known, this state-owned company distributed 10 eggs and 1 kg of frozen chicken (frozens) purchased from local breeders for stunting treatment.

In procuring this food aid, Frans said, his party partners with independent local breeders who are members of farmer cooperatives, both chicken and egg breeders.

The ID FOOD together with the National Food Agency (Bapanas) again distributed food assistance to stunting-prone families (KRS) phase 1 this year. The distribution of food aid will target 7 provinces with a total recipients from KRS of 1.4 million.

The seven provinces are West Java, East Java, Central Java, North Sumatra, Banten, North Sulawesi and East Nusa Tenggara.

In the first distribution in Jatisampurna District, Bekasi City, West Java, as many as 240 local KRS received the food assistance. The plan is for the distribution of government food assistance to take place six times a year.

"Hopefully after six times, there will be another extension. So, this program becomes sustainable with the aim that recipients can get good nutritional intake," he added.
