Children addicted to instant noodles, like Natalia's family on Adonara Island, are also found on other small islands. Our survey from August to October 2023 in 14 villages in three island regions, namely East Nusa Tenggara , Southeast Sulawesi , and West Sumatra , showed a decreasing trend in the diversity of food sources, both carbohydrates and proteins, in the last 30 years. Rice has dominated and displaced various local carbohydrates, such as sago, corn, and tubers.
The shift in consumption patterns from sago to rice is not only happening around the district center, but also in the hinterland. Only parents still dominate the consumption of sago, while children are accustomed to eating rice and leaving sago behind. Compared to the ancestral food of sagu, many children in Siberut Island can only feel full with rice. In fact, they now choose instant noodles over sagu. Workers are packing bunches of sago palm before sending them to a sago processing factory in Muntei Village, South Siberut Sub-District, Mentawai Islands, West Sumatra on Tuesday .
Amidst the rising cost of rice, the main agricultural commodities of the community are inadequate. For instance, the price of betel nuts has fallen drastically and bananas are difficult to sell due to infrequent ship arrivals. The price of betel nuts, which was still above IDR 10,000 per kg the previous year, has dropped to IDR 1,000-2,000 per kg in recent months. Meanwhile, the cocoa commodity has been destroyed due to fungal attacks.
