Abstract

In Indonesia, anti-monopoly law is regulated in Law Number 5 of 1999 concerning Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition. This law is a special and comprehensive arrangement relating to competition between business actors. One of the prohibitions contained in Law Number 5 of 1999 is the prohibition on pricing. Pricing that is prohibited in the law is price fixing that comes from agreements between business actors in setting prices. In the practice of grain buying and selling, middlemen often buy rice from farmers more expensive than the reference price set by the government, causing fraud and leading to monopolistic practices. Where the standard price set by the middleman is higher than the standard price set by the National Logistics Agency. This is what causes grain production especially in the Sungai Tengah Village area to be fully controlled by middlemen in the area. In the practice of buying and selling grain by middlemen and farmers, it is very contrary to Minister of Trade Regulation No. 27 / M-DAG / Per / 5/2017.
