Keywords:
Food Ingredient Availability, Performance, SPPG MBGAbstract
Food ingredient availability is an important factor in supporting the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) and the performance of the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG). This study aims to examine the condition of food ingredient availability, analyze its role in improving the performance of SPPG MBG in Semumu Village, and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting food ingredient availability. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of 11 SPPG staff members, as well as two teachers and two student beneficiaries as additional informants. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that food ingredient availability was generally in good condition and was able to meet the production needs of 1,704 beneficiaries per day. This condition was supported by weekly menu planning, the preparation of a Budget Plan (RAB), and the procurement of food ingredients from local suppliers. Occasional problems, including shortages of certain ingredients, the quality of fresh vegetables, and delivery delays, were addressed through the use of alternative suppliers and menu adjustments. Food ingredient availability contributed to timely production and distribution, menu conformity, management efficiency, and the smooth delivery of SPPG services. Supporting factors include menu planning, cooperation with local farmers and suppliers, effective communication, adequate facilities, and team cohesion. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include limited food ingredient stocks, transportation costs, limited water supply during the dry season, and road and weather conditions.
