Abstract

The Republic of Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world with nearly 17,000 islands in an area of 1,826,440 square km. The largest islands are Kalimantan, Papua, Sulawesi, Sumatra and Java. Most of the smaller islands are not yet inhabited and even only the island of Java alone occupies nearly 60% of the total population in Indonesia which recorded 306,264,595 people in 2005 (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2006). Indonesia which has bio mega diversity coupled with local wisdom of society in conducting agricultural cropping patterns and rice farming products has a very big potential, or should it be called risk, to be exploited by foreign companies. As an illustration, an incident occurred in Sulawesi where local farmers were persuaded by Monsanto, the largest seeds multinational company in the world, to switch from the rice seeds usually farmed there to the cotton seeds from Monsanto. Monsanto promised to buy the harvested cotton products at a high price. However, the harvested products were eventually said to not meet Monsanto’s standards and were not purchased. Another example of problems that occur to Indonesian farmers is criminalization over traditional farmers by PT BISI as a subsidiary of Monsanto in Indonesia. This research’s objective is to study what types of cropping patterns and their each subsequent rice farming product usually used in Indonesia, what existing laws and regulations that are related to the protection of such patterns and products in Indonesia, and which among the patterns and products can be an immense potential to support food security in Indonesia.
