Problems executing Ministerial Regulation on the Control of Agricultural Land Tenure Number 18 of 2016 issued by the Head of the National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia are the focus of this research into the South Lampung Regency Land Office. Normative judicial and empirical methodologies are applied in this study. The results show that the South Lampung Regency Land Office has largely implemented the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation Number 18 of 2016 Concerning Control of Agricultural Land Tenure. Physical facilities and infrastructure at the South Lampung District Land Office to support the policy of controlling agricultural land tenure, especially absentee land, are inadequate, and the quality of human resources is poor. The author recommends that the central government take measures to prevent absentee ownership of agricultural land, such as adopting legislation prohibiting such ownership and socialising the affected farms.
