The Land Bank Agency is preparing an allocation of 35,000 hectares of land to meet the Indonesian government’s targets for investment and job creation.
This strategic step is expected to stimulate economic growth and social equity, while also addressing investors’ fundamental need for legal certainty over land assets.
Kurnia Ramadhana, Senior Expert at the Indonesian Government Communication Agency, explained that certainty in land management also plays an important role in supporting the development of industrial zones, new economic areas, and attracting investor interest.
“For investors, one of the first things they look at is legal certainty over land. That’s why good land governance is such an important factor in creating a healthy investment climate while also driving economic growth,” said Kurnia during a Ramadan gathering with media crews in Jakarta, Monday, March 9, 2026.
Agrarian Reform Outside Java
Meanwhile, Acting Head of the Land Bank Agency, Hakiki Sudrajat, stated that the agency currently has a total land inventory of 35,000 hectares.
Of this amount, around 11,000 hectares have been allocated for agrarian reform. These lands will be managed for various purposes, both for community needs and government programs.
“There has been an increase from 34,000 to 35,000 hectares, with several new locations added. Most of this will be for agrarian reform on the Right to Manage Land (Hak Pengelolaan), since much of it comes from conversion of forest areas,” said Hakiki.
Hakiki added that many of the agrarian reform sites are located in remote areas, such as outside Java. In the future, the Land Bank Agency will also collaborate with the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning to formulate work arrangements to avoid overlap.
