Description
Summary:The most important characteristic of poverty in Indonesia is the prevalence of poverty in the agricultural sector. What is the main root of poverty in the agricultural sector in Indonesia? By analyzing the historical account of agrarian reform, the paper examined the evolution of policy toward peasant and agricultural sector in Indonesia from 1960s.

The paper provided further analysis of current Indonesian policy toward agricultural sector.
