Inter-Ministerial Proclamation on Strengthening Economic Land Concession Management.

This Inter-Ministerial Proclamation, jointly issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Environment, aims to strengthen management concerning state economic land concessions (ELCs) to better protect interests of local communities. Land inhabited by farmers must be cut out of the concession area. Companies must implement a “tiger skin formula” to ensure that ELCs do not affect the farming lands of villagers, community forest and protected forest.
