The Indonesian government will implement a free nutritious meal program starting next year.

This is stated in the 2025 State Budget (RAPBN) document.

According to the document, the Free Nutritious Meal Program will be implemented through the provision of free nutritious food and milk in schools and Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).

This program will also provide nutritional assistance for toddlers, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding mothers at risk of having stunted children.

In addition to providing nutritional benefits, the Free Nutritious Meal Program is expected to:

1. Encourage student attendance at school, thereby improving the quality of learning;
2. Reduce absenteeism and dropout rates in order to improve human resource quality; and
3. Have a positive impact on the health and academic achievement of students.

The 2025 RAPBN allocates approximately Rp 71 trillion (approximately USD 4.6 billion*) for the Free Nutritious Meal Program, with the expectation that it will absorb around 820,000 jobs and contribute to an increase in economic growth of around 0.1%.

Thus, the RAPBN projects that Indonesia's economic growth will increase to 5.2% in 2025, from a baseline of 5.1%.
