Agrarian Bill Passed into Law: 15 Crucial Points Revealed
The House of Representatives (Dupr RI) officially passed the Bill on Agrarian Reform Regulation today. There are 15 key points in the agreed regulation, including the establishment of an institution to implement agrarian reform.
The Chairman of the Working Group for the Agrarian Reform Regulation Bill, Iman Sukri, stated that the regulation was agreed upon to resolve the ongoing issue of agrarian inequality in Indonesia. He also emphasised matters regarding land ownership, use, and utilisation, as well as the resolution of agrarian conflicts within the legal product.
“On that basis, the formation of the Bill on Agrarian Reform Regulation is an important part of the state’s efforts to address the root causes of agrarian inequality that have not been fully resolved,” said Iman Sukri during a plenary session at the DPR on Tuesday (22/09/2026).
Iman noted that the completion of the discussions on the Agrarian Reform Regulation Bill serves as an effort to resolve land disputes. “To meet this challenge, the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, through the Legislative Body, has taken part in this effort through the discussion of this Bill,” he added.
Iman mentioned that the Bill regulates the formation of an agrarian reform implementing institution that operates under and is responsible to the President. The Law also includes a Supervisory Board to ensure that the performance of the agrarian reform implementer is transparent and involves public participation.
