To identify politico-economic factors relating to policy surrounding the production, processing and trade of sugar in Indonesia and identify strategies to support improved integration of national nutrition and food security priorities with respect to sugar.
This study was a qualitative policy analysis, informed by political economy and power analysis approaches and drawing on both documentary policy data and interviews.
Indonesia.
Interviewees from various national and sub-national government and non-government sectors, with expertise in health and food safety ( 7), finance and economics ( 2), trade and industry ( 3) and others ( 4).
Sugar was articulated as a policy priority in three distinct ways: (1) sugar as an economic good; (2) sugar in relation to health and (3) sugar as a commodity for food security. High political priority was given to national economic development, as well as concerns relating to farmer rights and welfare. Nutrition priorities and objectives to reduce sugar consumption were addressed in health policies; however, they were not reflected in production and economic policies promoting sugar.
Creating opportunities to diversify agricultural production and ensuring a just transition to protect the livelihoods of sugar farmers in Indonesia will be crucial in enabling the achievement of nutrition priorities to reduce sugar consumption.
确定与印度尼西亚食糖生产、加工和贸易政策相关的政治经济因素，并确定支持将国家营养和粮食安全优先事项更好地融入食糖政策的战略。
本研究采用定性政策分析方法，以政治经济和权力分析方法为指导，利用政策文件数据和访谈。
印度尼西亚。
来自国家和地方各级政府及非政府部门的受访者，在健康与食品安全（7人）、金融与经济（2人）、贸易与工业（3人）及其他领域（4人）具有专业知识。
食糖在三个不同方面被明确为政策优先事项：（1）食糖作为一种经济商品；（2）食糖与健康的关系；（3）食糖作为粮食安全的一种商品。国家经济发展以及与农民权利和福利相关的问题被赋予了高度政治优先地位。健康政策涉及营养优先事项和减少食糖消费的目标；然而，这些目标在促进食糖生产和经济的政策中并未得到体现。
创造农业生产多样化的机会，并确保实现公正转型以保护印度尼西亚食糖农民的生计，对于实现减少食糖消费的营养优先事项至关重要。
