Indonesia refines National Agrarian Reform Agency roles

Overview

Following the passage of the Agrarian Reform Law on September 22, 2026, the Indonesian government has begun refining the institutional structure of the National Agrarian Reform Agency (BRAN). Recent discussions at the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform focused on organizational arrangements intended to prevent overlapping duties between BRAN and the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning (ATR/BPN).

BRAN is specifically tasked with resolving legal deadlocks in agrarian conflicts. Its mandate includes planning, developing agrarian reform roadmaps, designating priority locations, and verifying the objects and subjects involved in land disputes.

Experts suggest that for the reform to succeed, it must function as a tool for national economic transformation. Beyond land redistribution, the policy is expected to foster productivity, ensure legal certainty for investments, and reduce ongoing conflicts regarding forest areas and land use rights.

Entities

DPR RI · Bob Hasan · Konsorsium Pembaruan Agraria · Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning · Ossy Dermawan
