Deputy Coordinating Minister for Food, Hanif Faisol Nurrofiq, affirmed at the CNN Indonesia Awards 2026, Friday 6 November 2026, that meeting food needs is the primary basis for achieving a decent life for the public.
In his speech, he linked the statement to Article 27 of the 1945 Constitution, which mandates the state to guarantee the welfare of its citizens, and added, “Fondasi kehidupan layak adalah kesiapan dan terpenuhi pangan.”
Hanif explained that the vision of the Coordinating Ministry for Food includes self‑sufficiency, resilience, independence, and food sovereignty, and set a target to raise the national Food Security Index score to 77 by the following year.
He stressed that achieving this target cannot be done by a single agency alone, but requires the hard work of the entire sector, including all technical ministries, as he stated, “Ini akan diiringi oleh kerja keras semua sektor, bukan hanya Kementerian Koordinator Pangan.”
During the event, the Coordinating Ministry for Food received the Outstanding Village Cooperative Transformation for Food Security award, which Hanif said is an appreciation and motivation to accelerate the realization of President Prabowo Subianto’s targets, noting, “Kita memaknai (penghargaannya) sebagai suatu dorongan untuk mencapai lebih cepat target-target yang diberikan oleh Bapak Presiden kepada kami semua.”
He concluded with hope that cross‑party synergy can fulfill leadership directives, so that true food self‑sufficiency can be realized in Indonesia.
