CONTRACT FARMING IN INDONESIA: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BALANCE PRINCIPLE IN REALIZING EQUITABLE AGRIBUSINESS SYSTEM

Abstract

Contract farming is an alternative agricultural development based on a partnership principle of mutual need, mutual reinforcement and mutual benefit. Contract farming implementation using the standard form of an agreement often contains an imbalance of rights and obligations that leads to injustice. The State plays a role in protecting farmers by regulating and supervising contract farming implementation.
