Nowadays, Indonesia plays main role as the biggest sago fluor producer in the world. However the utilization of this food stock is relatively low. The sago fluor shows potential application in huge quantity as a food stock to contribute in a food security program. Currently, this sago fluor may be processed simply to become a noodle, vermicelli or sohun products. In the future development the sago fluor products should be improved in more varieties to become processed food to complement current staple food.
