On March 8, 2022, dozens of<\/a> Indonesian contract farmers gathered in front of the local parliament building at Sintang, West Kalimantan, to protest against three palm oil companies. These contract farmers, also known as \u2018plasma smallholders<\/a>\u2019, work under a scheme with a company which sends field workers to plant on the farmers\u2019 land in return for part of the harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with two Indonesian companies, the Chinese company PT Julong Group Indonesia was accused of disbursing a concession fee that the contract farmers claimed to be too low<\/a> and not reflective of the rising price of palm fruit. Julong was also accused of land grabbing<\/a>\u2014taking over local land illegally for palm oil cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, the leader of the local parliament visited<\/a> the land under dispute, along with hundreds of contract farmers, but Julong was absent. To press for a response, the protesters besieged<\/a> the company\u2019s office, which further escalated to blocking the road to the company\u2019s complex. The conflict lasted for 12 days and ended only after the local parliamentarians held closed-door mediation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
