Increasing the Resilience of the Food Systems

and fisheries sectors absorb the largest number of workers—about 38.7 million people, or

30.4% of all workers in 2018.

Indonesia imported food crops worth about $7,971.04 million in 2018.

This large import

value alsocontributed to Indonesia's deficit trade balance in 2018. Indonesia's aggregate import

value accounted for $188,711 million, while its aggregate export accounted for $180,012

million.

Though wheat is entirely imported, it does not have a significant influence on national

food security, because it is not a staple food.

In terms of access and affordability, Indonesia’s performance is moderate. According to the

Logistic Performance Index (World Bank), the transportation infrastructure index of Indonesia

was about 3.15 (out of 5); it is ranked 46th in theworld.

An increasewas primarily supported

by an increase in the International Shipments (0.33 points; 11.4%), Infrastructure (0.25 points;

9.4%), and Timeliness (0.21 points; 6.1%) dimensions. Other dimensions that contributed

positively were Tracking & Tracing (0.11 points; 3.4%) and Logistics Competence (0.10 points;

3.3%). The customs dimension decreased by 0.02 points (0.7%).

Indonesia has amedium and

better overall index than the global LPI index of 2.86. However, logistics infrastructure could be

improved given its important role in food distribution. Indonesia's status as an archipelagostate

makes distributing food via land transportation difficult.

According to the EIU, food quality and safety in Indonesia can be categorized as “quite low,” with

an average score of 44.5. One reason for this is that, as a developing country, the majority of

economic structures are in the informal sector—Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises

(MSMEs)—that are not typically registered. Food production is therefore not certified by BPOM

(

Badan Pengawasan Obat dan Makanan)

, the Food and Drug Supervisory Board.

However, despite extensive government programs, there are notable vulnerabilities in access to

food. Cases of malnutrition and low nutrition were still found in Indonesia in 2018, with 3.9%

of children under five suffering from malnutrition and 13.8% suffering from low nutrition.

Compared with 2017, rates of malnutrition increased, and low nutrition decreased.

These

cases were generally attributed to low household income. Indonesia's score for food

diversification and the quality of protein in food is still below the global average value.

Malnutrition in Indonesia is largely attributable to insufficient protein intake.
