Abstract

This study aims to analyze the enforcement of legal rights of farmers in accessing subsidized fertilizers in Tanara District, Serang Regency, Banten Province. Utilizing a normative juridical approach complemented by empirical data, the research examines the extent to which legal guarantees provided by Indonesian regulations particularly Law Number 19 of 2013 on the Protection and Empowerment of Farmers have been effectively implemented at the local level. The findings reveal a significant gap between legal norms and actual practice, where many smallholder farmers are unable to access subsidized fertilizers due to structural and administrative barriers, as well as limited participation in the distribution planning process. Through the lens of legal system theory and distributive justice, the study concludes that the current fertilizer subsidy policy has yet to prioritize the most disadvantaged farmers. Accordingly, reform in policy design and distribution mechanisms is urgently needed to ensure that the enforcement of farmers’ rights is realized in a fair, inclusive, and sustainable manner.
