Analysis of independent oil palm farming income after replanting in Muaro Jambi District

Abstract

Palm oil is a plantation commodity that has high economic value and has the potential to be developed in Jambi Province. One of the districts in Jambi Province whose farmers cultivate oil palm is Muaro Jambi. This research was conducted to analyse independent oil palm farming income after replanting in Sungai Bahar Sub-District, Muaro Jambi District. This study shows that there are still many farmers in the study area who only cultivate oil palm as their main source of income (43.3%). Farmers own 2 lands, i.e., replanted land is the land that has been replanted by farmers or land when they partnered with an oil palm plantation company where replanting was carried out in 2011, 2012, and 2019. Whereas the non-replanting land that was purchased or opened by farmers independently and independently still at the age of productive oil palm plants. The income earned by farmers from the land that has been replanted is IDR. 22,229,912/year and from the land that has not been replanted is IDR. 15,840,852/year.

Maximizing Oil Palm Yield: Innovative Replanting Strategies for Sustainable Productivity

“…As we embark on this exploration of innovative replanting practices, it becomes evident that the future of the oil palm industry lies in the hands of those who embrace progressive and eco-conscious methodologies [27] , that offer an opportunity for additional income for farmers, presenting a profitable and sustainable business model [28][29][30] . The objective of this review is to explore innovative replanting practices for oil palm plantations, aiming to maximize oil palm yield while promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility.…”

Preliminary Results of Relationship between Oil Palm Harvest Losses and Harvest Interval in Riau and West Kalimantan, Indonesia

“…According tode Vos et al (2023), the main obstacles to shortening HI are the availability of trusted harvest workers, minimum FFB tonnage requirements to guarantee sufficient income for harvesters, and poor road conditions. For independent farmers, it may not be easy to shorten the harvest distance(Ernawati et al, 2021). Various challenges can hamper harvest, such as poor harvest trail maintenance(Rhebergen et al, 2020), lack of pruning(Maat, 2018), limited access due to poor infrastructure or weather conditions, and labour shortages(Jelsma et al, 2019).…”
