00:03If you want to feed the nation, you have to start early.
00:09It's four in the morning.
00:12We're in the suburbs south of Jakarta.
00:14We've come to see a massive operation that's been going on all night.
00:20Thank you very much.
00:43Workers here across three kitchens
00:46are cooking 9,000 meals.
00:50All part of President Prabowo's signature program,
00:54Free Nutritious Meals.
00:58Staff are under the pump to get a massive amount of food prepped
01:02and onto trays before lunchtime.
01:07Today, 60 million people will be fed by the Indonesian government.
01:12They're serving around the same number of people as McDonald's does globally.
01:20This program is enormous.
01:23This kitchen is one of about 20,000 that are operating right across the country.
01:30Prabowo Subianto wants this program to feed more than 80 million people by the end of 2026.
01:35Most of those kids, and the price tag, let me tell you, 335 trillion Indonesian rupiah.
01:43That's about 30 billion Australian dollars.
01:47These kitchens we've come to are run by a private provider.
01:51By the end of this year, thousands will be operated by Indonesia's police and its armed forces.
02:00We've been the first toying a few years
02:00on the next day, Param nahm Phạm
02:05What you Rose
02:06Going to clogging
02:06For the oxygen
02:06You we're home
