History

Prior establishment of Barantin, previous Indonesian animal, fish, and plant quarantine code, Law No. 16/1992, was deemed outdated and did not meet satisfaction of and not accommodating national interest and public safety concerns the spread of disease or pests. [1] The old Indonesian quarantine code later replaced by Law No. 21/2019 which passed by the People's Representative Council on 24 September 2019. [1]

According to the old 1992 quarantine code, Ministry of Agriculture was solely responsible on enforcement of the code. Since the reformasi , some parts of the enforcement also being split into Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. Thus, there were two agencies responsible in enforcement of the Indonesian quarantine code: [2]

In addition, Law No. 21/2019 also expands the scope of animal, fish, and plant quarantine to include monitoring and control of invasive species as well as wild plants and animals, which is under the responsibility of Directorate General of Nature Resources and Ecosystem Conservation under The Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Article 8 of Law No. 21/2019 mandated the formation of "integrative agency" to integrate the enforcement of the Indonesian quarantine code in 2 years. However, the process was delayed until 4 years after the passage of the 2019 Indonesian quarantine code. On 6 July 2023 Joko Widodo signed Government Regulation No. 29/2023, established the Indonesian quarantine framework and named Badan Karantina Indonesia as the name of the integrative agency to enforce the code. He later signed Presidential Decree No. 45/2023 on 20 July 2023, established the agency and set the agency as a cabinet-level agency. [3] On 14 September 2023, he appointed Sahat Manaor Panggabean, a close confidante of Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, as Chief of Barantin. [4]

Immediately after his appointment, Sahat recruited 100 men from Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Ministry of Environment and Forestry and named his team as Tim 100 (Team 100) for rapid consolidation and organization of Barantin. [2] On 25 October 2023, the Barantin organization finalized. Wisnu Haryana, then Acting Main Secretary of Barantin, revealed that 3,739 men from the Ministry of Agriculture, 1,327 men from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and "a few" men from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry joined Barantin. [5] The fusion also slimmed from 52 quarantine stations of Agency for Agricultural Quarantine and 47 quarantine stations of Agency for Fish Quarantine, Quality Control and Safety of Fishery Products into 40 quarantine stations that will be operated by Barantin.
