Akuntabilitas Kebijakan Impor Garam di Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia as a country with the second largest coastline in the world should be able to meet its own needs. The high demand for industrial salt makes Indonesia import salt because imported salt is considered to have high quality according to industrial needs, namely with a NaCl content of 97%, while the quality of salt in Indonesia only has a NaCl content of 94%. The purpose of this study is to analyze the government's accountability to local salt farmers who experience economic stagnation based on the perspective of State Administrative Law. The research method used is normative research using a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that the import invasion that occurred should be able to bring in the import of people-based industries. Because so far, import activities are considered to have weakened the economy of local salt farmers. The loss of stipulation in the salt import approval has also opened a gap for salt import faucets because the form is only in the form of a recommendation letter so that based on state administrative law this cannot be contested. So here, the government's accountability to local salt farmers in the welfare state needs to be questioned
