The National Movement for Food Inflation Control (GNPIP) is an initiative launched by Bank Indonesia to tackle rising food prices and control food inflation. This program involves various measures such as enhancing market operations, improving regional cooperation for better distribution of food supplies, and promoting urban and digital farming. For instance, efforts include planting chili seeds, setting up greenhouses, and establishing digital farming infrastructure

GNPIP aims to stabilize food prices by ensuring an adequate and efficient food supply chain. This initiative is crucial as food inflation significantly impacts public expenditure and welfare. By addressing these issues, Bank Indonesia hopes to reduce food inflation to below 10%

The National Movement for Food Inflation Control (GNPIP) is part of the strategic efforts by the Indonesian government to stabilize food prices and manage inflation. It operates under the framework of the Tim Pengendalian Inflasi Pusat (TPIP), which works closely with regional counterparts, the Tim Pengendalian Inflasi Daerah (TPID).

In 2024, TPIP and Bank Indonesia have outlined seven strategic steps to control inflation, focusing on monetary and fiscal policies, controlling volatile food inflation (especially commodities like rice, chili, and shallots), ensuring smooth food supply and distribution, enhancing food productivity and downstreaming, and strengthening data availability for better policy formulation

These efforts also include initiatives such as optimizing local budgets to stabilize prices, strengthening agricultural infrastructure, integrating food stock data, and fostering inter-regional cooperation

The overall goal is to keep inflation within the target range of 2.5% ± 1% while promoting sustainable economic growth (Uki Ruknuddin)
