  • Who is responsible for palm oil production in Indonesia?
  • Most point to large corporations to solve the problem, but that¡¯s overlooking a key actor in palm oil production: small farmers. ¡°Independent smallholders,¡± small-scale farmers who are not linked to any particular company or mill, manage about one-quarter of Indonesia¡¯s palm oil plantations.
  • Who owns Indonesia's palm oil plantations?
  • ¡°Independent smallholders,¡± small-scale farmers who are not linked to any particular company or mill, manage about one-quarter of Indonesia¡¯s palm oil plantations. That¡¯s a huge share of an industry that produces 31 million tons of oil a year, used in everything from cosmetics to biofuels to foods.
  • Who are palm oil smallholders in Indonesia?
  • A large and rapidly growing group of palm oil smallholders in Indonesia are small-scale independent farmers (in the following referred to as ¡°independent smallholders¡±), who mostly remain outside sustainability initiatives in the sector. Engaging with this group of
  • Can small farmers reform Indonesia's palm oil industry?
  • Small farmers could be key actors in reforming Indonesia's palm oil industry, which has been linked to child and forced labor, deforestation and the demise of iconic species like orangutans. But they can't do it without support from government and corporations.
  • Will palm oil remain competitive in Indonesia?
  • It will be difficult for palm oil to remain competitive without significant reductions in demand for relevant labor and costs (Gupta 2012). Indonesia has 1,43,26,350?ha palm oil plantations in 2018, with 55.09% large private companies, 40.62% smallholder plantations, and 4.29% state large estates (Directorate General Plantation 2019).
  • Does small-scale oil palm expansion improve productivity and quality of production?
  • However, small-scale oil palm expansion has problems with low productivity and quality of production. Therefore, to increase their productivity and improve their cultivation, this study measures the importance of planting behavior and specific treatment of farmers¡¯ prosperity and productivity.
