According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data, Indonesia's hunger rate is relatively high compared to its neighboring countries.

The FAO defines hunger as a condition where a person's food intake does not meet the energy standards for a normal, active, and healthy life.

The FAO measures hunger rates based on the prevalence of undernourishment, which is data on the prevalence of insufficient food consumption from each country.

In 2022, Indonesia recorded a prevalence of undernourishment of 5.9%. This means that approximately 5.9% of Indonesia's total population (around 16.2 million people) are estimated to be experiencing hunger.

This hunger rate in Indonesia is the second highest in the ASEAN group, worse than the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Malaysia.

Timor Leste has the highest prevalence, as shown in the graph, while data for Brunei Darussalam and Singapore are unavailable.

However, in terms of the number of people, Indonesia has the highest number of hungry people in ASEAN.

Here is an estimate of the number of people experiencing hunger (number of undernourished people) in Southeast Asian countries in 2022:

1. Indonesia: 16.2 million people
2. Philippines: 5.9 million people
3. Vietnam: 4.9 million people
4. Thailand: 3.7 million people
5. Myanmar: 2.1 million people
6. Malaysia: 0.9 million people
7. Cambodia: 0.8 million people
8. Laos: 0.4 million people
9. Timor Leste: 0.3 million people
10. Brunei Darussalam: data not available
11. Singapore: data not available

The hunger figures recorded in the FAO database are a three-year average. This means that the 2022 data is an average of hunger figures from the 2020-2022 period.
