Prabowo Subianto, President of Indonesia, recently shared the success of the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program during the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Congress in Solo, Central Java. The program, which aims to provide meals to schoolchildren, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers, has gained international recognition and is now a topic of discussion in global diplomatic circles. With over six million beneficiaries as of July 2025, primarily children and pregnant women, Prabowo highlighted the unprecedented success of the program and its potential for further growth. The government’s target is to reach 20 million beneficiaries by the end of August 2025, with the possibility of surpassing that number. The MBG program not only addresses malnutrition but also supports local food producers and vendors, promotes social equity, and contributes to long-term nation-building efforts. Prabowo’s announcement reflects the program’s positive impact and its significance in advancing a healthier and more prosperous future for Indonesia.
