Deagrarianization Problem and The Implications on Agricultural Policy in Indonesia

Dwi Wulan Pujiriyani

Abstract


Abstract. This paper discusses the existence of Indonesia as an agrarian country in Southeast Asia amid the threat of deagrarianization that is occurring worldwide. This study applied the Grant approach by combining the results of statistical quantitative studies to provide a more complete and clear explanation of the symptoms of deagrarianization in macro perspective. The results showed that deagrarianization is ongoing in Indonesia. This can be seen from the six main indicators, namely: a decrease in GDP from the agricultural sector, a decrease of farming households, a decrease in the number of rurals, a decrease in rural population, a decrease in labor participation in the agricultural sector, and a decrease in the extent of agricultural land. Those indicators show that agriculture is no longer a primary sector, but turned into a secondary sector.
