Farmers are worried about the impact of the job creation law

General Chairperson of the Indonesian Peasant Union Henry Saragih said that before
the Employment Copyright Act was issued, the mandate of a number of laws related to food and agriculture had not been implemented properly. In addition to the Food Law, there is Law No. 19/2013 on Protection and Empowerment of Farmers, Law No. 13/2010 on Horticulture, Law No. 39/2014 on Plantations, and Law No. 41/2009 on Protection of Agricultural Land for Sustainable Food. "Now, with its conditionally unconstitutional status, (the Job Creation Law) cannot be used as a reference in policy making, for example, when you want to import, of course you must refer to the Food Law," he said. The President of the Indonesian Fishermen's Farmers' Society (Wamti) Agusdin Pulungan assessed that although it had been decided that it was problematic from a legal perspective, the implementation of the activities was still considered to be ongoing. The feared impact, among others, is related to trade partnership agreements that have the potential to harm domestic farmers. According to Agusdin, one of the aims of the agreement is for partnering countries to open the import faucets by reducing import barriers as much as possible. According to him, the threat of the Job Creation Act in the agricultural sector is real. That's because, in fact, the competitiveness of farmers in Indonesia is somewhat lacking. Head of the Legal Bureau of the Secretariat General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Eddy Purnomo, said that related to food imports, it has been regulated in Government Regulation Number 5 of 2021 concerning Implementation of Risk-Based Business Licensing and its derivatives. "The substance has not changed with the conditions before the work creation law was enacted,"
