Most Indonesians consume insufficient amounts of fruit and vegetables. This is recorded in the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) report from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes).

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an individual is categorized as consuming "sufficient" fruit and vegetables if they eat a minimum of 5 servings per day per week. If they do not reach this standard, their consumption is categorized as "insufficient".

In 2023, the majority, or 67.5%, of Indonesian respondents aged 5 years and older consumed only 1-2 servings of fruit and vegetables per day per week.

Furthermore, 17.4% of respondents ate 3-4 servings per day per week, and only 3.3% consumed a minimum of 5 servings, as per the WHO standard.

In fact, 11.8% of respondents did not consume any fruit or vegetables at all.

The Ministry of Health also found that, among respondents who did not consume fruit, 61.8% stated that there was no fruit available.

Others cited inability to afford fruit (28.6%), dislike of fruit (25.4%), and laziness (9.5%).

Among respondents who did not consume vegetables, 81.4% stated that they disliked vegetables.

Reasons also included unfamiliarity with consuming vegetables (23.8%), lack of vegetable supply (13.3%), and laziness (12%).
