JAKARTA - The Ministry of Forestry (Kemenhut) has realized the provision of sources of Land Objects of Agrarian Reform (TORA) covering 3.11 million hectares or about 76 percent of the national target of 4.10 million hectares.
This program is one of the government's efforts to resolve land ownership issues that have been faced by people living and living in and around forest areas for years.
Under the leadership of the Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni, the Ministry of Forestry targets the acceleration of the completion of TORA sources to go hand in hand with the arrangement of forest areas.
The policy is aimed at ensuring that the status of the area remains maintained, while opening legal access for the public to obtain certainty of rights to land through the Agrarian Reform mechanism.
Until now, the Ministry of Forestry has issued 237 Blue Decree (SK) with a total area of 380,559.51 hectares in various areas.
Throughout 2026, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Politics has also issued four Blue SKs covering 332.27 hectares for 2,166 beneficiaries in 35 villages spread across Nganjuk Regency, West Bangka, Central Bangka, and Sikka.
In addition to issuing the Blue SK, the additional provision of TORA resources this year also comes from the results of forest area zoning which produces 10,189 hectares of Other Use Area (APL). The area consists of 8,710 hectares in West Kalimantan, 40 hectares in the Bangka Belitung Islands, and 1,439 hectares in Southeast Sulawesi.
One of the realizations of the program was carried out in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java. In February 2026, Minister of Forestry Raja Juli Antoni handed over the SK TORA to the people of Temurejo Village.
Through the Decree of the Minister of Forestry Number 183 of 2026, the government has designated approximately 160.74 hectares of land for TORA which covers 12 sub-districts and 26 villages or villages in Banyuwangi.
Director General of Forestry Planning Ade Tri Ajikusumah said that the provision of TORA is not merely land arrangement, but also an instrument to maintain a balance between the interests of the community and the sustainability of forest areas.
"TORA is a bridge between welfare and sustainability, so that people are prosperous, the forest is also sustainable," said Ade in Jakarta, Monday, July 27.
The Ministry of Forestry is responsible for preparing and completing TORA sources originating from forest areas in accordance with the authority of the forestry sector. After that, the process of granting land rights will continue through the Agrarian Reform mechanism together with related ministries and agencies as well as local governments.
At the same time, the Ministry of Finance also accelerated the process of determining forest areas. Based on data from the Directorate of Forest Area Strengthening as of June 2026, the area of Indonesian forest areas reached 124,975,956 hectares.
Of this amount, 113,226,040 hectares or 90.60 percent have been determined, while 11,749,916 hectares or 9.40 percent are still in the process of determination.
There are still around 1 million hectares of the national target for the provision of TORA sources that have not been completed. The Ministry of Forestry targets the acceleration of the completion of the remaining target by continuing to prioritize administrative certainty, clarity of forest area boundaries, and compliance with applicable provisions.
