It aims to secure farmers’ tenure, promote social equity, and provide farmers with a productive resource towards ensuring their productivity and economic viability. This paper examines the cooperative society of land beneficiaries engage in plantation-based rubber production and reveals that increased productivity of farms, farm operation viability, and improvement of economic well-being among beneficiaries have not yet been fulfilled under the agrarian reform regime. Despite the public perception that the program is comprehensive in nature, the CARP has solely focused on the acquisition and distribution of land, leaving the beneficiaries without much-needed support services.
