What happened
The Cabinet Secretariat closed 833 Nutrition Fulfillment Service Units and scheduled another 455 for permanent closure because they failed to meet hygiene-certificate requirements. Zulkifli Hasan reviewed the program's implementation, which faced public scrutiny after a survey found that 61.4% of eligible voters were less than satisfied or not satisfied with the program.

Why it matters
The unit closures and public dissatisfaction challenge government funding and regulatory standing for the major food security initiative in Indonesia. Furthermore, a source from a third coalition party suggested that the program's problems could negatively affect electoral prospects.
Prabowo Subianto and Zulkifli Hasan lead a major food security initiative in Indonesia, with Zulkifli Hasan serving as Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs.
