In the 2018 State Budget (APBN), the government eliminated the food subsidy budget and shifted it to the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program. This shift aimed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of subsidies, ensuring they are more targeted and provide optimal benefits for poverty alleviation and inequality reduction.
In 2016, the number of Targeted Households (RTS) receiving food assistance reached 15.5 million. This increased to 15.8 million in 2017. This comprised 14.3 million RTS receiving 15 kg of rice per month, plus 1.4 million Beneficiary Families (KPM) receiving BPNT worth Rp 110,000 per month. By 2018, all assistance was provided in the form of BPNT.
Previously, the government distributed food subsidies by providing subsidized rice to RTS deemed unable to afford it. However, starting in 2017, the government changed its distribution method, providing assistance in the form of BPNT to KPM.
