Strengthening Food Security, ASEAN Needs a Bigger Private Contribution

The Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) assesses that food security in the ASEAN region requires a larger private contribution, including through foreign direct investment (FDI).
Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) researcher Azizah Fauzi said this needed to be done to strengthen food and agricultural supply chains and the region's position in global value chains. “This area requires more investment, including foreign direct investment in the food sector to ensure people's access and affordability to food. Food security in ASEAN is still vulnerable to price fluctuations and supply disruptions. This affects the food affordability of the people," said Center for Indonesian Policy Studies (CIPS) researcher Azizah Fauzi in her official broadcast, Azizah said, the realization of FDI in agriculture in ASEAN until 2020 was less than 10 percent of the total FDI in the region. FDI in the ASEAN agricultural sector has decreased since 2015 and the average annual FDI realization of agriculture to ASEAN in 2016 to 2019 was 26.89 percent lower than 2015. Azizah also said that the vulnerability of food security in ASEAN, among others, can be seen from the problem of food shortages. long-standing nutrition.
