Replanting policy of Indonesian palm oil plantation in strengthening the implementation of sustainable development goals

Abstract

Indonesia’s palm oil industry is one of the National strategic commodities. This industry is inclusive and has a very broad impact on Indonesia’s economic development, regional development, poverty alleviation, the country’s foreign exchange resources and attempted to help overcome Indonesia’s balance of payments deficit. Along with the end of the first 25 years of age in most of oil palm plantations in Indonesia, the replanting policy has become an important momentum, because it concerns the future of the Indonesian oil industry, then continued with the second milestone of the 2040s. With replanting, Indonesia also improves productivity and is followed by improvements in technical culture. Indonesian oil palm productivity is directed to reach the 35-26 scenario, which is the production of 35 tons of FFB per ha and 26 percent yield so that Indonesia’s palm productivity will shift from productivity levels of 4.4 tons of CPO per hectare to 9 tons of CPO per hectare. With this level of productivity, Indonesia’s CPO production will increase from 77.17 million tons in 2050 to 94.64 million tons. The purpose of this study is not merely to look at oil palm plantations from an economic standpoint because in a broader scope, oil palm plantations have four multifunction agriculture, namely green functions, blue functions, yellow functions, and white functions. The replanting policy of Indonesian palm oil also plays a role in strengthening Indonesia’s palm oil industry in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, which includes the economic fields (8 SDGs), social fields (6 SDGs) and the environment (3 SDGs).
