The Indonesian government has invited Singapore to collaborate in developing integrated food estates in Indonesia. In an official statement on Tuesday (March 22nd), Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan stated that this food estate collaboration is necessary to increase agricultural productivity and maintain food security.

According to the Global Food Security Index (GFSI), Indonesia's food security in 2021 was below that of Singapore.

GFSI recorded Indonesia's food security index score in 2021 at 59.2, while Singapore's was 77.4, the highest in Southeast Asia.

Globally, Indonesia ranked 69th out of 113 countries, while Singapore ranked 2nd.

GFSI also noted that in 2021, Indonesia's food security was below that of Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Complete list of Southeast Asian countries' food security index according to GFSI 2021:

1. Singapore: 77.4
2. Malaysia: 70.1
3. Thailand: 64.5
4. Vietnam: 61.1
5. Philippines: 60
6. Indonesia: 59.2
7. Myanmar: 56.7
8. Cambodia: 53
9. Laos: 46.4

GFSI measures food security in countries based on four main indicators: food affordability, availability, quality and safety, and natural resources and resilience.

According to GFSI's assessment, food prices in Indonesia are quite affordable, and supply availability is adequate compared to other countries.

However, Indonesia's agricultural infrastructure remains below the global average. Nutritional standards and the diversity of staple foods are also considered low.

Indonesia's natural resources are also assessed as having poor resilience due to a lack of strong political policies and vulnerability to climate change-related disasters, extreme weather, and environmental pollution.
