Vice Presidential Candidate number one, Muhaimin Iskandar, stated that in the last 10 years, there have been three million smallholder farming households in Indonesia.

He made this statement during the fourth 2024 Presidential and Vice Presidential Debate themed "Sustainable Development, Natural Resources, Environment, Energy, Food, Agrarian, Indigenous Communities and Villages" at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Jakarta, on Sunday (21/1/2024).

"The BPS Agricultural Census shows that in the last 10 years, the number of smallholder farming households has reached almost 3 million," said Cak Imin, his nickname, during the vision-mission presentation session.

This means, said Imin, there are 16 million farming households that only own half a hectare of land.

"Meanwhile, there is someone who owns 500,000 hectares of land as power granted to him by the state," Cak Imin quipped.

Based on the results of the 2023 Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Agricultural Census, Indonesia had 16.89 million smallholder farming households (RUTP) or those farming in their yards in 2023.

The number increased by 18.54% from 2013, which recorded 14.25 million smallholder farmers.

The figure of 3 million mentioned by Cak Imin refers to the increase in the number of smallholder farmers in the last 10 years, precisely 2.64 million more RUTP smallholder farmers until 2023.
