Food Security Policies in Maritime Southeast Asia
Although food prices in the Indonesian domestic market were relatively stable at the height of the 2007/08 global food crisis, this catastrophic event nonetheless had significant impacts on the people of Indonesia. The diversification of food consumption, for example, has been observed in a number of relatively poor provinces in Indonesia. The problem of food insecurity in the country is not necessarily due to the lack of food supplies in the domestic market, but has more to do with the inability of people to access the food that is available. The problem of food access in the country is further heightened by poor infrastructure, which prevents the smooth transportation of affordable food products throughout the vast geographical space of the country.
