Cultivation System

The Cultivation System (Dutch: cultuurstelsel; Indonesian: tanam paksa) was a Dutch government policy in the mid-19th century for its Dutch East Indies colony (now Indonesia). Requiring a portion of agricultural production to be devoted to export crops, it is referred to by Indonesian historians as Tanam Paksa ("Enforced Planting").
