Abstract: In the context of Indonesia, the current policy on garment export agreements lacks standardized and specific legal regulations to address existing issues. These agreements only reach the stage of purchasing orders (PO) and pose challenges in practice, particularly regarding the scarcity of shipping containers, which hinders exporters from engaging in garment exports to buyers. The PO does not stipulate provisions for container availability, thereby impacting the welfare and economic system of Indonesia. As a result, the implementation of a welfare state that views the government as the primary agent responsible for ensuring social and economic welfare for its citizens cannot be realized in the Indonesian garment economy.
