Abstract

Background: The 2045 Food Barn vision requires coherence among production, distribution, price stabilization, food reserves, technological innovation, and institutional coordination; therefore, national food performance must be viewed as a cross-sectoral public governance issue, rather than merely a matter of production output, given that the success of food policies is heavily influenced by organizational design and the implementation capacity of various actors. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the development of Indonesia’s food performance during the 2024–2025 period, assess the coherence of national food policy design at the document level, and formulate strategic implications for the repositioning of Perum BULOG toward the 2045 Food Barn vision. Methods: The study employs an explanatory document analysis based on secondary data, combining quantitative descriptive analysis of data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and Perum BULOG publications with a structured content analysis of six key policy documents, using the Food Policy Synergy Index (ISKP) instrument, which encompasses four dimensions and twelve operational indicators. Results and Discussion: Rice production in 2025 increased by 13.29%, while productivity rose by only 0.60%, indicating that the improvement in supply was driven more by an expansion in harvested area than by production efficiency. An ISKP score of 81.67 indicates a high level of policy design coherence, particularly in the stabilization-reserve dimension, but still reveals weaknesses in data integration, local actor participation, and policy implementation feedback mechanisms. Conclusion: The high level of coherence in policy documents is not yet sufficient proof of effective implementation on the ground. Perum BULOG needs to be strengthened as a mandate-based food intelligence hub through enhanced data interoperability, regional buffer stocks, and early warning systems to support more precise, adaptive, and evidence-based food governance toward 2045.
