Indonesia's food security has been steadily improving year by year. The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) last year reached 62.6. This is an improvement from the previous year's score of 54.8. This score places Indonesia at 62nd globally, up from 65th the previous year. From 2012 to 2019, the trend in Indonesia's food security showed consistent improvement.
The GFSI assessment comprises four aspects. First, Indonesia received a score of 70.4 for Affordability. Second, it received a score of 61.3 for Availability. Third, it received a score of 47.1 for Quality and Safety.
For information, affordability measures consumers' ability to purchase food.

Quality and safety relates to the quality and safety of nutritional standards and import supervision.
