The Future of Indonesian Food Consumption

Abstract

This study aims to develop a model of the future of Indonesia’s food consumption up to 2045, using a baseline of food consumption in 2017 and projections to 2025 as milestones, and to draw policy relevance on food and related issues for the next Medium-Term Development Planning of 2020–2024. The projected demand of Indonesian food consumption is built based on the functional relationship between income and food consumption at the baseline using three different scenarios of economic growth: baseline, moderate, and optimistic. Method of Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) was implemented to estimate changes of food consumption. Susenas data from 2017 is used as the baseline of food demand model. Susenas data from 1990–2016 is used to analyze selected food consumption trends and the relationship between food consumption, price trends, and income in all 33 provinces of Indonesia. The results show that future food demand in Indonesia is determined by existing demand, income, price and its composition, and various other factors that affect the behavior and trends of consumption. The policy should focus on the balance between demand-side management and supply-side or productivity improvement, as the majority of food production centers are located in Java.

Exploring Fruit Tree Species as Multifunctional Greenery: A Case of Its Distribution in Indonesian Cities

“…All five megapolitan cities are in Greater Jakarta. Our hypothesis predicted that metropolitan and megapolitan cities planted more FTS due to the large problem of food security for the poor [22]. Here, it is noted that the low numbers of FTS in metropolitan/megapolitan areas were not related to any city characteristics, including city vision (p corr.…”

“…The present findings indicate the abundance of FTS in cities in the Java region compared to other regions (Table 2). As the cities in Java are more densely populated [3] and food insecure [22], the introduction of FTS may have the potential to enhance city services, especially in Java. Moreover, many cities in Indonesia, including in Java, have allegedly experienced uniformity in city visualization, as noted by Amar [120].…”

Performance of Food Distribution Institutions in Realizing Price Stability and Access to Rice Food at The Household Level of Farming Group in Bantaeng Regency

“…Benefit performance indicator (1) is that the social assistance fund from the government is utilized correctly by Gapoktan to purchase minimum grain from the production of its member farmers, which is used as business capital in the distribution/marketing unit in the Gapoktan, which increases more than the social assistance funds that have been distributed.…”

“…In a situation where the population is still increasing, threats to rice production have raised concerns about food insecurity (rice) in the future. As a result, in the future, Indonesia will need additional food availability, rice and rice fields (Wicaksono and Kang 2019; Arifin et al 2019) Bantaeng Regency, as one of the Autonomous Regions in South Sulawesi and an inseparable part of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, makes agricultural development, especially food crops (rice), one of the main commodities cultivated by farmers. Therefore, the policy direction for food crop development is focused on rice food availability within the framework of realizing food security and independence, at least for the needs of the people of Bantaeng Regency.…”

Replacement of maize by sorghum in broiler chicken diet: A meta-analysis study of its effects on production performance, mineral tibia content, intestinal villi and nutrient digestibility

“…Maize is major staple feed for poultry in the livestock industry but poses severe environmental issues every year through Indonesia (Sjofjan et al, 2021b). Mostly, Indonesia is still dependent on using soya bean meal, maize, and cassava as the staple diet for animals (Arifin et al, 2019). Adli (2021a, b) identified fluctuations in maize production from 19,612,435 t in 2015 up to 28,924,009 t in the 2019 valued at USD 233.47 million (Sjofjan et al, 2021b).…”
