Indonesia’s Agrarian Reform Agency Speeds Up Plans for Its Structure
Indonesia’s National Agrarian Reform Agency, known as BRAN, is working to set up a clear organizational structure and define how it will operate.
Its chief, Dedi Prasetyo, discussed the plans in Jakarta with Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Minister Rini Widyantini and Deputy Agrarian Affairs Minister Ossy Dermawan.
The talks focused on clarifying BRAN’s responsibilities and how they differ from those of the Agrarian Affairs Ministry and land agency, ATR/BPN.
Dedi said BRAN is not meant to take over other institutions’ powers; ATR/BPN will continue to handle land administration, while BRAN will coordinate agrarian reform across sectors.
The agency also wants to integrate land data to map problems, set priorities and track results.
Clear roles and coordinated work are intended to reduce overlapping duties and make it easier to resolve agrarian issues.
Officials will continue technical discussions to refine BRAN’s structure and responsibilities and align any supporting rules with the law.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
The acceleration of BRAN’s institutional arrangement is a priority so that President Prabowo’s agrarian reform agenda can be carried out with a clear organizational structure, an appropriate division of authority, and measurable working mechanisms. We want this process to move quickly, but also carefully and in accordance with laws and regulations.
Land administration will continue under ATR/BPN’s authority, while BRAN strengthens coordination of agrarian reform across sectors, especially for agrarian issues that need an integrated response.
Accurate data is an important basis for setting priorities. We need to understand the problems, map the subjects and objects of agrarian reform, and then develop solutions with the relevant ministries and agencies.
Our measure of success is not simply whether an organization has been established, but the extent to which agrarian reform can deliver justice, legal certainty and improved public welfare.
