JAKARTA, investortrust.id – President Prabowo Subianto held a limited cabinet meeting at his private residence in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, to discuss strategic measures for managing palm oil plantation land. The meeting focused on ensuring compliance with national regulations while balancing environmental, economic, and social interests.

 

The discussion resulted in key policy decisions aimed at improving land governance. Among them, the government will enforce stricter regulations through the Land Use and Investment Management Task Force. This task force will oversee the proper utilization of land, ensuring adherence to existing laws and preventing unauthorized land use.

Additionally, the government plans to adjust policies concerning land already utilized for palm oil plantations. These adjustments will be made in line with existing regulations to create a sustainable balance between environmental preservation, economic development, and public welfare.

Prabowo emphasized the state’s role in enforcing regulations, citing Article 33 of Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution, which mandates that natural resources must be managed in the nation’s best interest and for the greatest prosperity of the people. He stressed that the land management reforms would follow a structured and systematic approach to uphold this principle.
