The result of the research is that smallholders can cultivate oil palm plantations. The status of sustainability indicated a very sustainable status (80.41), meaning that economic factors and social factors leverage ecological factors to be sustainable. This means that smallholder should improve the pattern of oil palm crop farming, with lever attributes, namely tree planting among islands of oil palm (plot scale). The integration of sensitive attributes, with the economic dimension and social dimension, produced a research output which have provide solutions sustainability of the smallholder oil palm plantation.

ISPO (Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil) is a mandatory certification policy issued by the Indonesian government. ISPO is aimed at private oil palm plantation businesses and smallholder groups. Plasma farmers are farmers who partner with companies. It is appropriate for ISPO certified companies, and smallholders will be the same in implementing ISPO. This study aims to determine the role of companies in plasma farmers in implementing the ISPO principles for plasma farmers, then to find out the implementation of the ISPO principles by plasma smallholders and to analyze the sustainability status of the implementation of the ISPO principles carried out by plasma farmers. The study used the RAP-Palm method and sampling of plasma farmers in three companies in the West, East, and Central regions of Jambi Province. The results showed that companies that have received ISPO certificates have not been optimal for plasma farmers in applying the ISPO principles. Companies that partner with plasma farmers have not encouraged plasma farmers to implement the ISPO principles. At the same time, the plasma smallholders have not optimally applied the ISPO principles. The MDS analysis results showed that the plasma farmers’ sustainability status in implementing the principles is in the medium category (56,02). A new regulation is recommended that encourages companies to help empower plasma farmers in implementing ISPO principles and needs to empower the knowledge and education of smallholders in implementing the ISPO principle. As well as rewards for plasma farmers who implemented ISPO to get a premium price.
