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

However, Indonesia's hunger level is still considered high compared to neighboring countries.

The GHI measures the level of hunger in a country based on 4 indicators, namely:

* 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, in 2023 Indonesia had a score of 17.6, falling into the "moderate" hunger category.

This score also makes Indonesia the second highest (or worst) country in terms of hunger level out of the 9 ASEAN countries researched.

The only neighboring country with a higher (or worse) hunger level than Indonesia is Timor Leste.

Meanwhile, 7 other ASEAN countries have lower (or better) hunger levels, namely Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos.

The GHI database does not record the index scores for Singapore and Brunei Darussalam.
