Indonesia’s poorest are starving (The Asean Post) 

October 12, 2020


Asean Post published an article on a study from the Asian Development Bank and IFPRI titled Ending hunger in Asia and the Pacific by 2030: An assessment of investment requirements in agriculture that said, “Many [Indonesians] do not get enough food and their children are prone to stunting, keeping them in a vicious cycle for generations. From 2016 to 2018, about 22 million people in Indonesia still endured hunger,” noted the ADB and IFPRI in the report. The report further revealed that issues such as unequal access to food and food insecurity have remained unresolved in the country. This was despite increasing trends in food production and availability, as well as increases in household incomes.
