After the Java War drained colonial finances, the Dutch administration under Governor-General Johannes van den Bosch introduced the Cultivation System. Villages were compelled to devote land or labor to export crops, with local rulers and officials helping enforce quotas. The system turned Java’s agrarian production into a state revenue stream and contributed to hardship, food insecurity, and later public criticism.
