Abstract. Food security is a fundamental issue for a country or state. In Indonesia, there are still
many problems related to food, ranging from production to distribution problems. Indonesia's
national food consumption is still dominated by grains, so its availability becomes important for
the community. In this article, case studies on the availability and food security issues from three
selected countries (Vietnam, India and Japan) are presented. Vietnam is one of the ASEAN
members that has successfully built its food industries. Over the last thirty years, Vietnam has
transformed from a food crisis country to a food-secure country. Meanwhile, India is a large and
populous country that has built institutional systems in order to establish its national food policy.
Other more advanced lessons are from Japan, which has developed its agriculture industry to
achieve food security and sovereignty. Japan has successfully developed advanced technology

government, the private sector, and university, and reasonable to be implemented. Indonesia
could learn important lessons from the three countries, particularly in building systems and
institutions to manage food supplies (rice) and distribution channels. In addition, the Indonesian
government should encourage the development of technology, such as to build data, improve the
productivity and quality of the food, as well as the distribution system. By working on this, food
policy making and implementation to achieve food security and sustainability will be effective
and efficient.
