Redistribution of Land for the Plantation in Indonesia

Abstract

Farmers and fishermen have a very strategic position in fulfilling the food of the Indonesian people. So it is necessary to increase agricultural and fishery commodities. Agrarian conflicts and land disputes are one of the frictions that interfere with the effectiveness of agricultural and fishery life. There are at least two triggers for agrarian conflicts, firstly the lack of precise laws and policies governing agrarian issues, both related to views on land, land status, and ownership, land rights, as well as methods for obtaining land rights. Second, inaction and injustice in the process of resolving land disputes, which ultimately lead to conflict. Therefore, Agrarian Reform is here to narrow the inequality of land tenure and ownership, which in fact will provide new hope for change and distribution of socio-economic equality of society as a whole. Agrarian Reform following Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 86 of 2018 is a restructuring of the structure of control, ownership, use, and utilization of land that is more equitable through Asset Management and accompanied by Access Management for the prosperity of the Indonesian people. The implementation of Agrarian Reform is carried out through the stages of Asset Management and Access Arrangement. Asset Management consists of Land Redistribution and Asset Legalization. Access arrangements are carried out on a cluster basis to increase economies of scale, add value and encourage entrepreneurial innovation on Agrarian Reform Subjects.
