What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

Indonesia is working toward achieving food self-sufficiency across 11 core staple foods, having already reached self-sufficiency in eight key commodities, including rice and corn. The government is currently focused on achieving self-sufficiency in three remaining commodities: garlic, soybeans, and beef. Separately, food-poisoning incidents related to a government free nutritious meals program have led to opposition and the suspension of kitchen operations in some schools.
