Opportunities and challenges of implementing the legal policy of the warehouse recipe system in improving farmers welfare and food security

Abstract

During the peak of the harvest season, falling prices are a common issue for Indonesian farmers. Farmers had exhausted their ability to store their crops due to insufficient funds and a lack of storage space. In most cases, intermediaries and loan sharks will take advantage of this situation for financial gain. This research defines the novel concept of warehouse receipts as a marketing model for agricultural commodities and examines its potential benefits for farmer income and family nutrition. Methodology: The investigation used a literature review of various books, statutes, and regulations, as well as a study of judicial decisions and advice from experts in the field. In-depth interviews were also a part of the research team’s efforts on the ground. For their field studies, researchers can choose between interviewing government officials or local community members.
