[9] This followed a demonstration on 1 March 2024 where the DRPD supported the right of the people to demand an inquiry into the election results, which the Pati Regency Community Alliance sued for.

[15] An effort is being made by the Pati DPRD to include MSME products in local supermarkets and minimarts but the requirements of the system to distribute funds to the MSMEs from sales are proving to be an obstacle.

[16] To help support the growth of small business, the national government instituted the Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR) [id] in 2007 to provide loans to MSMEs.

[19] Industrial development must take green areas into consideration,[20] and citizens can lodge complaints in the event that construction permits are issued against such land.

[21] In 2014, citizens wrote to the President of Indonesia seeking relief regarding the Regency's plans to build a cement factory in Tambakaromo and Kayen districts.

[22]: 1:05-2:49  PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk had stated that they expected to be able to commence construction in 2018, and claimed that farming in the region would not suffer as a result, despite social and nature issues not having been addressed and 60% of residents in the community voting against the plant.

[23] In protest against the factory and Regent Haryanto's decision to issue the permit without hearing citizen concerns first, residents held a rally that blocked roads from 9 AM until after 3 PM in Sukokulon Village.

[24] On 17 November 2015, the permit issued by the Regency to Sahabat Mulia Sakti, a subsidiary of Indocement, was declared void by the Chief Justice of the Semarang State Administrative Court.

[33] Following a Supreme Court hearing in March 2017 which found in favor of the cement company,[34] Indocement's president, Christian Kartawijaya, claimed that Pati residents had no legal basis to argue against the construction.

[35] A complaint was filed with the OECD on 9 September 2020 against both Heidelberg Cement and the subsidiary PT Indocement, stating that the companies had violated human rights standards.

[36][37] Additionally, complaints were also filed with the International Finance Cooperation of the World Bank and the Germany's National Contact Point for Responsible Business Conduct.

[38] In a revised regulation after the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tambakromo district was designated as industrial, despite residents' concerns that the flood-prone region will be negatively impacted by the establishment of a cement factory.

[39] Some paddy farmers have joined the Asuransi Usaha Tani Padi, an agricultural insurance provided in the Pati Regency, to protect their interests should they experience crop failure.

[41] Indonesia imports between 70,000 and 150,000 tonnes of beef on a nearly annual basis from Australia, Brazil, and India, making the cultivation of cattle farming an economic priority.

One of the determining factors regarding beef cattle farming in Pati Regency has been the long return-on-investment; it is estimated that it takes nine years, nine months, and nine days to simply break even.

[46] The Regency has multiple programs in place to help livestock farmers,[44] though a focus on turning the resulting waste (manure) into a useful biproduct has been recommended to increase sustainability.

[60] These alternative materials have been deemed necessary as the books provided by the Indonesian government have been determined to be unable to adapt to the specific needs of students in the Pati Regency.

[67] Coaches and trainers at the Pati Training Archery Club used online platforms to attempt to keep athletes in shape during the pandemic, in accordance with the government-issued Circular Number 4.

[71] Students engaged in online learning during the pandemic did report that they were able to quickly find information to complete assignments; however, there was also a decline in eye health due to constantly staring at a digital screen.

[74] On 11 February 2022, the government issued Circular Number 440/426, suspending all in-person learning after testing at multiple schools returned positive results for the virus among both teachers and students.
