According to the Global Hunger Index (GHI), hunger in Indonesia has decreased in recent years.

In 2023, Indonesia had a hunger index score of 17.6 out of 100, its lowest hunger score since 2000.

The GHI measures the level of hunger in a country based on four indicators:

* Prevalence of undernourishment;
* Prevalence of child stunting;
* Prevalence of child wasting; and
* Child mortality rate.

These indicators are then formulated into a score on a scale of 0–100. The higher the score, the worse the hunger condition in a country is assumed to be.

Here is a breakdown of hunger level categories according to the GHI score:

* Score 0–9.9: Low hunger level
* Score 10–19.9: Moderate hunger level
* Score 20–34.9: Serious hunger level
* Score 35–49.9: Alarming hunger level
* Score 50–100: Extremely alarming/extreme hunger level

Based on this categorization, during the 2000–2015 period, the level of hunger in Indonesia was classified as "serious," with a GHI score above 20.

Then in 2023, the score dropped to 17.6, falling into the "moderate" hunger category.

Despite the improvement, Indonesia's GHI score is still considered poor compared to other countries.

Globally, in 2023, Indonesia's hunger level was the 50th highest (or worst) out of 125 countries.

Regionally, Indonesia's hunger level was the second highest (or worst) out of 9 Southeast Asian countries recorded in the GHI database.
