Corporate farming model for sustainable supply chain crude palm oil of independent smallholder farmers

Independent oil palm smallholders in Indonesia contributed significantly to the sustainable of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) supply chain. On the other hand, sustainability in the process of implementing the supply chain system for independent smallholders is an issue that is extremely important for the success of the supply chain system for the CPO company. This study’s objective is to develop an alternative business model with the goal of strengthening the interaction that already exists between independent farmers and cooperatives in ensuring the existence of a supply chain for raw materials and having access to financial resources, knowledge, and technology. The selection of the research location considered several factors, including the size of the area’s oil palm plantations, the number of oil palm farmers who are self-sufficient, and the possibility of locating CPO plant. Study findings that, the new model by business canvas analysis as the upgraded model of existing model business recommended that it should be built based on the cooperative palm oil family which provides farmers with access to financial, replanting, intensification, and extensification and infrastructure by APKASINDO, BPDPKS, Bank, and other stakeholders to sustain the FFB supply chain in cooperation through a partnership program in a long-term scheme. This whole system was developed by corporate farming system based on the cooperative as the off taker of FFB farmers and develop mini plant CPO to produce cooking oil and biofuels and by product as the waste management system as the value added for farmers.

What are the Major Barriers and Challenges Faced by Independent Oil Palm Smallholder Farmers in RSPO Certification?

The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification is essential for promoting sustainable palm oil production; however, smallholder farmers face significant obstacles in meeting its standards, hindering their growth. This study aims to identify the main barriers and challenges for independent oil palm smallholders in the RSPO certification process and to propose strategies for overcoming these issues. Using a mixed-methods approach, researchers collected data from 60 smallholders through a snowball sampling method and analyzed it using descriptive statistical techniques such as frequency counts and cross-tabulations. Critical barriers identified include high certification costs, lack of knowledge, limited resources, difficulties tracking production yields, and challenges meeting social requirements. Furthermore, smallholders struggle with adapting cultivation practices, accessing markets, maintaining commitment, building capacity, and navigating bureaucratic hurdles. Organizations are urged to adopt market development strategies, enhance their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, and facilitate better access to sustainable technologies to tackle these challenges. Additionally, enhancing green skills, simplifying record-keeping, reinforcing farmer groups, and offering financial incentives, including soft loans and tailored training, are critical. Streamlining certification procedures will also alleviate administrative burdens, enabling smallholders to adopt sustainable practices more effectively.

Cost reduction for upscaling voluntary sustainability standards: the case of independent oil palm smallholders in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia

Upscaling Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) can generate ecological and social benefits at a scale that is meaningful to address pressing environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity losses. Lack of resources and risks of implementation gaps may, however, hinder the success of upscaling VSS. This paper aims to fill the gap in the literature regarding options to reduce certification costs to upscale VSS amid the limited financial resources available for certification. The paper presents the result of action research involving 3,507 independent oil palm farmers who are members of six farmer groups in two districts in Central Kalimantan to achieve Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification. The research found that achieving economies of scale by increasing the total number of certified farmers can reduce the certification costs per farmer. By establishing a district-level entity, the costs related to audits, RSPO membership fees, and the establishment of farmer groups, such as developing standard operating procedures (SOPs), can be lowered. Implementation gaps were not found with the increase of farmers joining the project based on the training frequency and the external audit findings reports on farmers' compliance with RSPO principles and criteria. The findings of this study provide a basis for promoting the upscaling of VSS, including through the RSPO jurisdictional approach.

Strategies for improving independent oil palm smallholders’ welfare in Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi

Abstract The oil palm plantation sector in Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, plays a vital role in the regional economy: absorbing labour, encouraging economic growth, and improving oil palm smallholders’ welfare. The welfare of independent oil palm smallholders (farmers) has not been maximized, even though smallholders are faced with fulfilling their basic household needs. This research aims to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats and provide strategies for improving the welfare of independent palm oil smallholders in Konawe Regency. This study used primary data (interviews, observations, focus group discussions, and documentation) and secondary data (literature review). SWOT analysis was used to determine the factors of opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses and formulate strategies to improve independent oil palm smallholders’ welfare. The research findings show that weaknesses and opportunities are the main priorities for strengthening smallholder welfare. Factors affecting the welfare of smallholders are the quality and selling price of fresh fruit bunches, oil palm workers and farmers’ skills, production costs, maintenance of oil palm plantations, and oil palm farming institutions. As for the results of the SWOT analysis, the primary strategy is the formation and enhancement of the role of independent oil palm smallholder institutions in Konawe Regency.

The Oil Palm Smallholders Corporation Model Based On Local Specifications In Jambi Province Toward Sustainability

Abstract The rapid expansion of oil palm plantation areas promoted poverty because of job creation and community welfare. However, oil palm still has substantial socioeconomic and sustainability implications, so an agricultural institution must support the palm oil business. The existing oil palm smallholder institutional is more pragmatic based on needs or meets the requirements to get assistance or facilitation from outside parties. The research objective is to create a model of integration and sustainability of institutional governance based on local specifications of the area. The research uses primary and secondary data sources. Based on the field institutional cooperation of smallholders involving cooperatives, smallholder groups in a corporation, and palm oil mills, supported by regulatory providers. The local government is responsible for establishing, developing, and institutional strengthening smallholders and financial funding support. In addition, it is also necessary to enter input with a Joint partnership program based on a Written Agreement that regulates the rights and obligations of each party, the partnership period, and other binding provisions, including the guarantee of the farmer’s Fruit Fresh Bunch (FFB) price. Institutions implemented following their functions and objectives based on local, and regional specifications to realize the sustainability of independent oil palm smallholders.

Smallholder participation in zero-deforestation supply chain initiatives in the Indonesian palm oil sector: Challenges, opportunities, and limitations

As actors in tropical agricultural commodity supply chains implement commitments to end deforestation, they risk exacerbating social inequities by excluding smallholder farmers, who are important producers of many tropical commodity crops. Here, we explore the potential for independent oil palm smallholders in Indonesia to participate in zero-deforestation supply chains. We find that these smallholders are underrepresented in the share of zero-deforestation compliant oil palm production. We then synthesize perspectives from key actors in the oil palm industry including smallholders and their representatives, palm oil producing and consulting companies, nongovernmental organizations, and academic researchers. Based on these perspectives, we find that challenges to smallholder supply chain participation include limitations in knowledge (e.g., smallholders may not know the location of protected forests), institutional issues (e.g., absence of trust between oil palm growing companies and smallholder farmers), and financial constraints (e.g., the opportunity cost of not clearing forest). To address these shortcomings, we encourage oil palm growing and milling companies to take the lead on incentivizing, supporting, and facilitating smallholder participation in zero-deforestation initiatives. Specifically, these companies could build and use their technical and political resources to identify and map all forests in their entire supply shed and ensure small producers have land rights that enable participation in zero-deforestation supply chains. These policy levers would need to be combined with economic incentives such as access to improved inputs or price premia for their products. However, we caution that smallholder integration into existing zero-deforestation supply chains alone is unlikely to result in significant additional forest conservation at scale in Indonesia due to selection bias, leakage, and existing land tenure norms. Community-led and jurisdictional or landscape-scale supply chain initiatives that acknowledge multi-commodity production are more likely to provide equitable and just avenues for Indonesian smallholder farmers to steward forest resources.

Does Household Financial Management of Independent Oil Palm Smallholders Promote Rural Development?

Sustainable production by independent oil palm smallholders links to the creation of goods and services using processes and systems that are resource-conserving, economically viable, and socially and creatively rewarding for all working people and consumers. However, there is limited efficiency in financial management and low resource allocation for rural finance operations to support the development of rural economies. This study tried to prove whether household financial management promotes rural development using the theories of transaction cost, financial transaction management, public expenditure management, and a rural development framework. This research was conducted in Sambas District, West Kalimantan, using a mixed method with purposive sampling and structured questionnaires administered to 200 independent oil palm smallholders. Multidimensional scaling and a structural equation model were employed to analyze the data. The results unveiled that household financial management promoted rural development due to its effects on accessibility and infrastructure for market opportunities, basic and public services, and governance regarding participation in agriculture meetings and training by the government. Governance emerged as the most direct effect of rural development as it contributed to livelihoods, community-based economic empowerment, human resources, and rural environmental problems. Operational and risk management came as the most influential factors in household financial management. Government played a role in engaging smallholders in supply chains, access to inputs, and households’ transition in confronting a variety of yields, unstable output and input prices, and changes in production technology. Innovative multi-actor collaborations were required to reinforce and provide a cloak for policy decisions.

Prospects Of The Leading Business Sector Of Palm Oil Digital Scales (Ram) In Pino District, Bengkulu Selatan Regency

Marketing of palm oil in the form of FFB (Fresh Fruit Bunches) to palm oil companies (PKS) is carried out by independent oil palm smallholders through existing marketing institutions, both collecting businesses, which will affect the income that farmers will receive. Weighing Business is a FFB marketing agency in Pino District, South Bengkulu Regency which already has a permit to sell farmer's FFB to companies and has fruit transportation facilities and has means of transportation in the form of trucks and pick-up cars.
 The purpose of this study was to examine the prospects for the leading sector of the palm oil weighing (RAM) business in Pino District, South Bengkulu Regency. The research location was carried out in Pino District, South Bengkulu Regency. The determination of the research location was carried out purposively, with the consideration that the research location was a center for palm oil production with a lot of digital scales or RAM with a capacity of ± 30 tons and already had an operating permit. The results showed that the average income from the palm oil Ram business in Pino District, South Bengkulu Regency was Rp. 26,188,188.89 with an average production cost of Rp. 21,832,892.59 so that they earned an income of Rp. 4,361,218.52, in one month.

Pre-certification conditions of independent oil palm smallholders in Indonesia. Assessing prospects for RSPO certification

Smallholders, who cultivate ±30% of the global palm oil land, are critical to the realization of a sustainable palm oil sector. However, particularly independent smallholders, untied to mills, lag behind in yields and experience challenges to market their produce. Sustainability certification, such as by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), is proposed as a way to improve smallholder livelihoods, while protecting the environment. However, independent smallholders experience barriers to obtain certification. Through interviews with 18 RSPO certified independent smallholder groups in Indonesia and 9 certification facilitators, this study examines how pre-certification conditions regarding smallholders’ socio-economic backgrounds, legality, group organization, planation management practices, and local supply chain conditions impact prospects for RSPO certification, and how groups who successfully achieved certification have dealt with challenges during the certification process. We found that the majority (77%) of RSPO certified independent smallholders in Indonesia consists of ‘former scheme’ smallholders. These smallholders often have clear land legality and are organized in groups prior to certification, which increases their eligibility for RSPO certification. However, due to upfront and recurrent costs for certification, as well as complexities in meeting RSPO standards, access to certification is strongly dependent on external facilitators. To up-scale certification for independent oil palm smallholders, and include more non-scheme smallholders, certification projects should involve more local actors including local governments and certified smallholder groups. In addition, certification should focus on core social and environmental concerns for smallholders, while being flexible with regards to the forms of proof needed to fulfil legality requirements.

Oil palm Analisis Capaian ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit Pola Swadaya di Kabupaten Rokan Hulu

Oil palm is one of the leading plantation commodities in Indonesia. The advantages of palm oil make Indonesia the most significant producer and exporter of palm oil in the world. The high global and international market demand for environmentally-friendly palm oil is one of the reasons for the Indonesian government to implement the ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil) policy in 2011. The ISPO is the standard set by the Indonesian government for sustainable oil palm plantations. The ISPO certification must be made by all oil palm plantation merchants. This study aims to determine the achievements of implementing ISPO certification on independent oil palm smallholders in Rokan Hulu by looking at some of the principles in ISPO certification, namely plantation legality, plantation organization and management, environmental management and monitoring, and sustainable business improvement. This research was conducted in one of the districts in Riau Province, namely Rokan Hulu. The results of this study show that independent oil palm smallholders in Rokan Hulu are still unable to implement the best standards for oil palm plantations following the principles and criteria contained in ISPO certification.

Factors Affecting Independent Oil Palm Smallholder’s Decision to Participate in Government Replanting Assistance Scheme in Malaysia

The Malaysian government has introduced the replanting assistance scheme under the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) program to accelerate the oil palm replanting activities among smallholders. This program intends to accelerate the ongoing replanting efforts by smallholders to replace their low-yield and old oil palm trees with new and high-yielding oil palm seedlings. However, their participation in the scheme is low. Therefore, this study is conducted to determine the factors that affect independent oil palm smallholders’ decisions to participate in the replanting assistance scheme. Interview administrated questionnaires are employed to 375 respondents among the recipients of the replanting assistance scheme. The significant factors that affect smallholders’ decisions are the Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) selling price, influence from family members or business peers and long-term investment choice. This study also describes the cross-tabulation of respondents’ age and their employment status against these factors. This research is expected to help policymakers and the government realign the timing to introduce the replanting scheme at the right time for the right target groups of oil palm smallholders.

ANALISIS PRAKTEK PERKEBUNAN TERBAIK PEKEBUN SWADAYA DESA BENTENG HULU KECAMATAN MEMPURA KABUPATEN SIAK

This research was conducted at the Sawit Jaya Cooperative in Benteng Hulu Village, Mempura District, Siak Regency. The purpose of this research is to find out what the social characteristics of oil palm smallholders are, what the economics of implementing governance by oil palm smallholders are, and how it applies between smallholder governance versus RSPO standard governance. The research population is independent oil palm smallholders who use quantitative and qualitative analysis. Measurement of the implementation of smallholder oil palm plantation governance is carried out using a scale starting from the achievement of indicators, criteria, and principles in RSPO certification. The population in this study were the oil palm farmers of the Sawit Jaya Cooperative in Benteng Hulu Village, Mempura District, Siak Regency. The achievement of implementing RSPO principles in the governance of oil palm plantations owned by independent smallholders is very far from the RSPO standard. The results showed that the implementation of the RSPO standard was still low. The farmers and their cooperatives should be upgraded and their skills on the RSPO standard.

Do Sustainability Standards Provide Environmental, Social and Economic Benefits for Independent Oil Palm Smallholders?

There is much inconclusive and unclear literature on understanding the benefits of environmental, social, and economic for the sustainability standards compliance of smallholders. The study aims to build a simultaneous relationship of the sustainable standard in the context of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil toward the benefit of sustainable dimensions using the concept of sustainable development, incentive theory, and the concept of agricultural extension of 150 independent smallholders. The results prove that farmers' organization is the most significant, followed by management of environmental monitoring and sustainable business development. However, legal is insignificant because of thought of as a nice to have. There is limited involvement in practical communities’ instruments so agricultural extension becomes an effort to reconstruct thoughts and actions to promote sustainability, especially social sustainability. Most indicators of sustainable standards toward the benefit of sustainable dimensions indicators are poor, except for fire prevention and control which had a moderately positive effect on the conservation of biodiversity. Thus, an integrated approach to area-based risks management, local institutions with religious and traditional leaders, Community-Based-Fire-Management, conservation area buffer zone, public-private partnerships, enabling conditions to access finance, and resource distribution with budgets and geographic proximity can be an effort to encourage compliance with sustainable standards.

Institutional Development in the Supply Chain System of Oil Palm Agroindustry in South Kalimantan

Developing oil palm agroindustry in South Kalimantan involves internal and external factors for its sustainability. The long distance of each stakeholder requires a digitally connected system. The research aimed at identifying criteria, sub-criteria, and alternatives in the developed network model, determine the sensitivity to determine the relevance of actor's role, determine the effectiveness and efficiency before and after implementation of the system, and analyse the level of certainty and importance of assumptions developed. The methods used were surveys, focus group discussions, and questionnaires. Experts in the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method were from academia, business, society and government. Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) method to analyse supply chain performance involved 178 respondents. The level of certainty and importance of assumptions was with Strategic Assumption Surfacing and Testing (SAST). The results of the analysis show there was an interdependence between the sub-criteria on the specified criteria and alternatives applied to achieve the goals. Pairwise comparisons showed the highest sub-criteria cluster was the replanting program with a weight of 0.662, for alternative cluster the highest priority weight in the system involving all actors playing a role was 0.391, with relevant sensitivity test results. The results of the analysis of effectiveness and efficiency before and after implementation of the system showed an increase in SCOR value for all actors. The results of SAST analysis were in Quadrant I with the highest level of importance and certainty of 7.6 meaning very important and certain. The implications of the research results can be seen in fostering the use of technology in realizing transparency, especially regarding the price, quality, and traceability of fresh fruit bunches, the realization of a monitoring system for policymakers and capital assistance for independent oil palm smallholders.

Oil palm supply chain gaps in the Ketungau landscape of Sintang district, West Kalimantan province. The development of oil palm plantations in Sintang Regency has been rapid in the last decade. Sintang Regency has declared to implement sustainable oil palm plantations while still considering environmental sustainability aspects. Management of the oil palm trading system to be effective and efficient is the main indicator of sustainable oil palm plantations. Gap analysis in the trading system is an important effort as a basis for making various policies. The Gap Analysis of Oil Palm Supply Chain in the Ketungau Landscape, Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan Province is aimed to identify the gaps that occur between levels of oil palm trading actors in the Ketungau Landscape, Sintang Regency. The analysis is carried out using a comparison method between the current reality and the perspectives expected by the stakeholders. The results of the analysis show that in the palm oil supply chain in the Ketungau Landscape, gaps still occur at every level of the supply chain. The gap between independent oil palm smallholders and the government is the lack of assistance programs and capacity building for smallholders and improving the quality of infrastructure. The gap between the government and companies is that the government's supervision of palm oil business actors is still not maximal. The gap between independent smallholders and companies is that there is still no understanding between the two parties, especially regarding the quality criteria for FFB. The results of this study indicate that independent oil palm farmers in the Ketungau Landscape still require policy intervention from the government and oil palm companies.

The Readiness of Self-Manage Oil Palm Farmers at Sekadau District in ISPO Implementation

Based on data from the Directorate General of Plantations in 2018, the tendency of expanding the acreage of self-contained oil palm plantations is continuing. It is feared that the continued expansion of land by both companies and smallholder plantations could cause natural damage and gas emissions that lead to the loss of biodiversity. This has led to a lot of criticism from various parties stating that the palm oil industry is responsible for all the risks that occur. To overcome this, the government implements a governance system (certification) for the entire palm oil industry. Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) is a certification system issued by Indonesian government to reduce the negative impacts of land expansion and to achieve sustainable palm oil. In its implementation in the field, the implementation of ISPO encounters several obstacles, particularly independent plantations such as difficult and complex legality issues, lack of knowledge that causes a lot of land clearing by burning and continuous land expansion. This research needs to be conducted to see the readiness of independent oil palm smallholders in implementing ISPO with descriptive methods and gap analysis. This research was conducted in Engkersik Village, Sekadau Hilir District, Sekadau Regency, the method of determining the sample was using slovin, amounting to 31 farmers. ISPO consist of 4 principles, criteria and indicators are used as variables in this study. The analysis results of all the principle show that farmers are ready with a readiness percentage of 60.9%, where each principle’s percentage of The Legality of Self-Manage Plantation is 75%, The Organization of Farmers and Management of Self-Manage Plantation is 62%, Environmental Management and Monitoring is 43%, and Continuious Business Improvement is 58%, although there are still gaps in its application. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out more effective socialization and training to farmers to minimize the gap.
