The appointment of Arumsari and Major General Trenggono marks a significant leadership shake-up at the National Nutrition Agency, which took effect on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. As part of this transition, the President dismissed the three top officials: Agency Head Dadan Hindayana and his two deputies, Inspector General (Ret.) Sony Sanjaya and Lieutenant General (Ret.) Lodewyk Pusung.
Following the appointments, the Presidential Palace has tasked the new leadership team with prioritizing internal consolidation and strengthening cross-sector coordination. During a press conference at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, officials emphasized the need for immediate synergy across various ministries and institutions to ensure the agency’s objectives are met.
The new appointees bring a wealth of diverse experience to the table. Agustina Arumsari is a seasoned economist with a long-standing career in public service, while Major General Trenggono currently serves as the Deputy President Director of PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara.
Profile of Agustina Arumsari
Before her appointment to the BGN, Agustina Arumsari served as the Deputy Head of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) since February 19, 2025. Her professional background is deeply rooted in supervision, auditing, forensic investigations, and risk management.
According to the BPKP official website, Arumsari began her academic journey at the State College of Accountancy (STAN), earning a Diploma Three (D3) in 1992, followed by a Diploma Four (D4) in 1998. She launched her career as an Assistant for Financial and Development Supervision at the BPKP West Sumatra representative office. Her career trajectory saw a steady rise, culminating in her role as the Director of Investigation for State-Owned and Regionally-Owned Enterprises in 2017.
By 2020, she was promoted to Deputy Head of BPKP for Investigations. Her extensive experience in governance oversight made her a key pick for President Prabowo Subianto when he appointed her as Deputy Head of BPKP in early 2025.

Major General Trenggono is a high-ranking Indonesian Army officer currently holding the position of Deputy President Director at PT Agrinas Pangan Nusantara. This state-owned enterprise is a primary executor of the government’s strategic initiatives, most notably the Koperasi Desa Merah Putih (Red and White Village Cooperative) program.

Over his career, he has held several strategic military command positions, including Commander of Kodim 0704/Banjarnegara, Commander of the Akmil Cadet Regiment, and Head of the Military Basic Sciences Department at the Military Academy.
His leadership experience continued as he served as Commander of Rindam V/Brawijaya and later as the General Director of the Military Academy in 2023. In 2025, he transitioned to become a Special Staff member to the TNI Commander.
