Comparative Study of Advanced Agrarian Countries in Enhancing Indonesia’s Economic Welfare: A Literature Review Study

Mahesa Jaya Gunawan, Muchammad Shubchi Fadhilah Ramadhan, Mochammad Reza Putra Nugroho

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the comparative agrarian policies between Indonesia and advanced agrarian countries, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of their implementation in improving the economic welfare of the population. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA approach, a total of 10 relevant scholarly articles were thoroughly analysed. The study findings reveal that although Indonesia has implemented various policies with substance similar to those of other countries—such as agricultural subsidies, agrarian reform, and price protection—their effectiveness remains low. This is attributed to weak institutional frameworks, lack of technological integration, limited research adoption, and policy inconsistency. In contrast, countries such as China, India, Germany, and Brazil have achieved success through adaptive incentive systems, strong institutional integration, and sustained investment in agrarian research. This research recommends a strategic reform of Indonesia’s agrarian policies by emulating globally successful models, in order to strengthen the agricultural sector’s contribution to inclusive and sustainable national economic development.
