This program was even discussed in a full cabinet meeting led by President Joko Widodo at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday, February 26, 2024.

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto, revealed that the budget for the free lunch program is set at around Rp15,000 per child. "Around Rp15,000 per child," said Airlangga Hartarto quoted from Merdeka.com, Tuesday, February 27, 2024. Airlangga added that the budget is separate from the free milk program for children as promised by Prabowo and Gibran's campaign."

Airlangga explained that the free lunch menu will be handed over to each regional government (pemda). However, Airlangga is not yet willing to disclose which areas will implement the free lunch program.

The budget of Rp15,000 per child will apply nationally, meaning it will be distributed evenly throughout Indonesia. Speaking of food prices, Indonesia, which consists of the regions from Sabang to Merauke, has different food prices. Of course, the menu options from Rp15,000 will vary in each region, depending on the food prices.

If Rp15,000 in Java can already get one package of mixed rice with side dishes. How about Papua? Papua is one of the provinces with the highest cost of living in Indonesia. The high prices of food in Papua have also been highlighted on social media.

Like in the viral video that was re-uploaded on Instagram @segar.bet on September 24, 2022. The post shows the cost of food in a warung (small eatery) in the remote area of Papua called Warung Makan 99. According to an article on Dream.co.id, the menu list along with the prices at that warung is very expensive for a tent warung. For example, the price of chicken soto per serving with rice reaches Rp120,000.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "TikTok account @hendradasba35wtk also once shared the menu prices at a food stall in Papua. According to Liputan6.com in an article uploaded in 2023, a portion of meatball is priced at Rp50 thousand. Meanwhile, the fish rice costs Rp40 thousand. Then, three shrimps are valued at Rp10 thousand. This netizen then ordered one portion of meatball and one portion of crispy fried chicken rice. The total price that he has to pay for these dishes is Rp90 thousand."

The high price of food in Papua is also due to the high price factor of basic necessities in the easternmost part of Indonesia.
