The free market with the frame of ASEAN Economic Community will start rolling in 2015. The extent to which Indonesia 's readiness to deal with it ?ASEAN has outstanding advantages. Firstly, ASEAN has 600 million inhabitants. Then ASEAN also has an incredible diversity, has a mega such as Singapore, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and its inhabitants are very rich. But on the other hand, ASEAN also has Laos, Myanmar. Well…, this range is so diverse that make the market become more widespread, not just in number but also has a breadth of products that can be sold.
Idealism of the MEA is not just a trade between countries but make ASEAN a production base to supply the world market.So where opportunity of Indonesia ?It is a paradox with a lot of exposure, both academics and government elite, who saw that Indonesia had to face an external enemy in the form of agricultural products from other ASEAN countries. Such exposures forget one important thing: could we face the rice Thailand and Vietnam when farmers in this country even more lost their access to land ? And then, How about the position of Indonesia as an agricultural country ?Indonesian farmers conditions today, in various regions, is quite alarming. BPS data in 2013 mentioned that there is a decrease in the number of households of farmers from the amount of 31,17 million in 2003 to 26,04 million in 2013. However, on the contrary, there is an increasing number of agricultural companies of 4086 the company became 5011 companies in 2013.
For more than a problem later on Indonesian rice whether it can compete with the rice farmer from Thailand or Vietnam. Because it is clear on paper, without land, our farmers have lost even before the MEA whistle sounded. We will not be able to talk about agricultural products without being planted. Without guarantees and subsidies from the state, of the low quality of our agricultural products will not be able to compete with any country. Finally clear; our society from all walks of consumption will rely instead on domestic production, but on the imported products that should be our production.
ASEAN Economic Community (MEA) has a tendency to pivot on the industries and the exclusion of those who live from natural products. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration, the points on the rights of farmers in the development have not been included. That is, the rights of farmers in a very vulnerable MEA related to regional integration projects are being initiated.
