"Meanwhile sharecropping arrangements lower the incentives to improve productivity because the tenant farmer does not fully reap the productivity gains & must share it with their landlords. Land reforms theoretically allow them to reap the full gains of productivity increase"

"Land reforms theoretically can solve these problems: 1) consolidating parcelled lands & lowering the cost of mechanisation 2) redistributing lands to landless or marginal farmers allowing them to reap the full gains of productivity increase and incentivising mechanisation"

"Lmao the corruption charge against tom lembong effectively cripple *any* economic policies: (1) ban import of raw material inputs (due to lower tariffs) (2) ban private sector from selling to governemnt at market price (3) ban government from importing food during food emergency"

"At the same time for obvious reasons agricultural wage workers oppose the adoption of productivity-raising machines by landowning capitalist farmers. Considering that many of the capitalist farmers are also village bureaucrats/politicians mechanisation entails political costs"

"Liberal policy interventions to improve agricultural productivity often entail technical interventions: better access to finance subsidising access to productivity-raising technologies to promote adoption etc. But these do not solve the land relations that also act as barriers"

"Parcellisation means that a landowning farmer might have X hectare of land that makes mechanisation more lucrative. But their plots of land are scattered around the villages. Bringing a machine often means bringing it across someone's land. Thus making mechanisation costlier"

"Ironic that ferry irwandi said this. He was invited to speak on an event held by the labour party where he talked about labour & the economy. He accused the indonesian gov of using misleading statistics. and then he made shit up about labour statistics to argue his point"

"Good news guys you can now indict your president & government officials for corruption by lowering the tariffs for US imports (reducing government revenue & therefore counts as a "loss")"

"And this is outside the financial barriers to mechanisation. Even if farmers own their land of sufficient size the overhead capital costs to adopt new machines/productivity-raising technologies might be above their means due to a lack of access to finance or credit"
