Arah Kebijakan Pascarevisi Undang-Undang Perlindungan dan Pemberdayaan Petani

Abstract

armers' organizations enter a new period in the post New Order Era especially enactment of some policies, i.e., Farmers Protection and Empowerment Act. However, spirit of this policy is not easily realized. This paper aims to describe conditions, circumstances as well as opportunities to realize the Act. Data were mainly collected from the research conducted in the regencies of Agam (West Sumatra), Garut and Majalengka (West Java), and Malang and Gresik (East Java). Data of the study were analyzed using a qualitative approach. Some policies related with farmers' organizations are not ideal, lack of socialization, and the farmers themselves did not understand the available opportunities. Therefore, in the future it is necessary that all stakeholders try their best to realize the ideal circumstance for farmers' organizations especially after revision of the Farmers Protection and Empowerment Act in the end of 2014.
