Indonesia's Global Food Security Index (GFSI) ranks 71st out of 113 countries. This index value increased from 47.9 in 2015 to 50.6 in 2016. This increase is among the highest globally.

The Economist Intelligence Unit's GFSI report states that the improvement in Indonesia's food security index is driven by three main aspects: affordability, availability, and quality and safety. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, affordability has seen a significant increase due to the Indonesian Farmer's Market (Toko Tani Indonesia/TTI) policy. Launched in 2015, this program is considered to shorten the food trade chain in Indonesia.

Despite this improvement, Indonesia's food security remains categorized as low compared to other Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. Singapore is the only ASEAN country with the highest index value. Indonesia only surpasses the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.
