Abstract
This article describes a new idea of how the level of intervention in household empowerment policies is based on an empirical study of the magnitude of the negative impact of the smallholder palm oil replanting (SPR) program. One of the negative impacts of this program is the temporary loss of income (TLI) for farmer households due to the cessation of production of oil palm fruit bunches. The household survey research was conducted in three village centers for smallholder oil palm plantations in Jambi Province, Indonesia. The research result shows that the average potential TLI in each household if replanting palm oil is carried out is IDR 2,364,644/ month (equivalent to 74.55% of the oil palm household income or 39.78% of the regional economy), Purwodadi Village is the village most vulnerable to regional economic disturbances due to the high potential for TLI, reaching 99.43% of the oil palm household income and 67.06% of the regional economy. The level of TLI is influenced by factors of age and area of old oil palm plants, the proportion of households that will undergo the replanting process, and the level of dependence of regions on oil palm. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that there is still a need for innovation and expansion of empowerment to encourage household readiness in facing the SPR program.
Highlights
IntroductionThe question arises "is it just a bureaucratic technical obstacle?" because in reality there are economic uncertainties that will be faced during the replanting period
Oil palm is a blessing given by God Almighty with a long journey from Africa to Indonesia until it is widespread in Sumatra and Kalimantan
If we return to the status of www.techniumscience.com residence in the previous section, it can be concluded that the majority of Dataran Kempas (DK) Village is Sundanese, many of which include family members and live in their relatives' homes
Summary
The question arises "is it just a bureaucratic technical obstacle?" because in reality there are economic uncertainties that will be faced during the replanting period Is it true that a structured empowerment program is not needed to develop alternative sources of income to increase household economic readiness in facing the SPR program?. Limited capital due to low or loss of the main source of income will reduce the intensity of plant maintenance such as fertilization and pest control The impact of this condition will cause the main objective of the SPR program to increase the productivity of oil palm plants is not achieved. Based on the description above, a study was carried out on the level of household readiness of oil palm farmers in facing the SPR program and an empowerment model that could be carried out to increase their readiness to face temporary income loss until the replanting oil palm yields an economic level of production
