National Farmers’ Day, also known as National Peasants’ Day, is observed in Indonesia every September 24. This day commemorates the promulgation of the Agrarian Basics Act of 1960, which highlights the significance of agriculture in the country. Agriculture plays a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, contributing approximately 13% to the national GDP and employing about a third of the workforce. The agricultural sector includes both large plantations and smallholder farms, producing a variety of crops such as rice, palm oil, and rubber. While the day celebrates the contributions of farmers, it also serves as a reminder of the challenges they face, including low incomes and environmental issues like deforestation. The Ministry of Agriculture regulates the sector, emphasizing its importance to Indonesia's development.
