Background: Food estate in Indonesia is currently a hot topic of discussion. This is inseparable from the national strategic food estate project that President Prabowo Subianto has prioritized in recent years. The current food estate project still focuses on non-natural commodities, such as cassava and mornings, which require large resources and land. Indonesia as a tropical country has abundant potential for sago plants as a natural food source, so it does not require massive land expansion. Sago can be a major commodity in food security in Indonesia. Methods: This report uses the content analysis method of 6 journal articles and several regulations related to sago management in Indonesia. Findings: The results of the analysis are then linked to identify gaps and formulate policy recommendations. Problems that hinder the development of sago as a food commodity currently include a lack of public knowledge, an unoptimized sago supply chain, and deforestation of sago areas due to development. Lack of community knowledge is an obstacle in the development of plantation innovation, the supply chain is not yet optimal, causing complexity in the production and distribution sectors, and deforestation results in the reduction of sago natural land. Conclusion: The management and development of sago is currently stated in several regulations, one of which is the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 134/Permentan/OT.140/12/2013 on Good Sago Cultivation Guidelines. However, some of these regulations still cannot solve the problems that occur. Recommendations that can be delivered on the condition of sago development in Indonesia focus on national government policies so that sago can become a major food commodity for people in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this research lies in the critical content analysis approach that synthesizes various academic sources and regulatory frameworks to evaluate the untapped potential of sago as a national food security commodity in Indonesia.
