Top 10 Regencies with the Highest Food Security in 2023

Gianyar Regency had the highest food security in Indonesia in 2023.

This is recorded in the *2023 Food Security Index* report released by the National Food Agency (Bapanas).

Bapanas defines "food security" as the condition of sufficient food availability at the national and individual levels.

This condition is reflected in the availability of sufficient, quality, safe, diverse, nutritious, equitable, and affordable food that can support a healthy, active, and productive society sustainably.

Bapanas then created a Food Security Index (IKP) for 416 regencies in Indonesia based on three main assessment pillars: food availability, accessibility, and utilization.

The assessment results are formulated into a score on a scale of 0-100. The higher the score, the better the regency's food security is assumed to be, with the following classification system:

* Very Vulnerable: 0-41.52
* Vulnerable: >41.52-51.42
* Somewhat Vulnerable: >51.42-59.58
* Somewhat Secure: >59.58-67.75
* Secure: >67.75-75.68
* Very Secure: >75.68-100

Using this method, in 2023, 235 regencies in Indonesia had food security categorized as "very secure," 77 regencies as "secure," and 37 regencies as "somewhat secure."

There were also 29 regencies categorized as "somewhat vulnerable," 17 regencies as "vulnerable," and 21 regencies as "very vulnerable."

Here is a list of the 10 regencies with the highest IKP scores in Indonesia in 2023:
