Aceh had the lowest food security among other provinces in September 2016. This is reflected in the high percentage of per capita monthly expenditure on food compared to non-food items.
Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that the average per capita monthly expenditure on food in Aceh in September 2016 reached 60.89 percent, while expenditure on non-food items was only 39.11 percent. This indicates that the per capita expenditure of Aceh residents on food is higher than on non-food items. Nationally, the average per capita monthly expenditure on food was 51.61 percent and on non-food items was 48.39 percent.
A higher percentage of expenditure on food indicates lower food security in a region. Conversely, lower expenditure on food indicates higher food security and improved welfare.
