“…Producer associations are instrumental in improving communication and inclusivity in value chains [39]. However, these certifications should also address the social impacts of palm oil plantations, as they tend to focus more on environmental aspects, requiring government intervention [40,41]. Nevertheless, smallholders still need to strengthen their collective action to influence the global supply chain, necessitating greater involvement from larger palm oil companies to act as advocates and partners for smallholders, creating conditions for sustainable oil palm plantations.…”

Palm oil prices on the international market have skyrocketed since the increased global demand for vegetable fats. However, the social-economic conflict between companies and smallholders has been an urgent issue in sustainable palm oil plantations. This paper proposes sustainable oil palm plantation strategies based on this problem. This research conducted a social analysis of community-scale oil palm plantation sustainability through in-depth interviews with 50 conflict land owners, palm oil smallholders, government officials, and former employees of a larger palm oil company in South Sumatra. The results of the interviews become the primary data to conduct strategic management system analysis using SWOT-QSPM analysis. SWOT-QSPM combination analyses are used to explore the internal and external problems of smallholder oil palm plantations and offer the best alternatives for smallholder oil palm plantations, where it is utilized to identify crucial internal and external factors influencing palm oil conflicts in Indonesia. The QSPM analysis with a score above 0.50 that is implementable to determining the relative significance of the SWOT analysis strategy shows that SO-ST and WO-WT strategies are suitable to be implemented to achieve sustainable palm oil smallholders plantation in Indonesia. This study concludes that there need alternative strategies for addressing sustainable palm oil plantations challenges in Indonesia, namely: 1) Palm oil companies should be sharing knowledge, training, and assisting palm oil smallholders to be included in their supply chain; 2) Recruiting local people to minimize inequality; and 3) The government to expand the land reform programs, with other alternative strategies eliminated for efficiency due to their significance scores falling below the threshold of 0.5. In conclusion, palm oil companies should prioritize supporting smallholders through knowledge sharing and training, while urging the government to expand Indonesia's land reform program, as these strategies hold significant potential for fostering sustainable development, reducing inequality, and enhancing welfare within the industry and local communities.

The purpose of this study is to determine the existing conditions of the plasma nucleus partnership pattern implementation in the oil palm plantation industry and the factors affecting its development in Riau Province. It was carried out using a qualitative method that explores various patterns of nucleus-plasma partnerships. Data analysis using the Nvivo 12 Plus application was sourced from interviews with each actor in the province. The results showed that the existing conditions for implementation consisted of nucleus-plasma partnerships of companies (42.86%), cooperatives (28.57%), and smallholders (28.57%) who still have problems that need to be addressed immediately. Several factors that also influence the partnership pattern of nucleus-plasma are the aspects of knowledge and technology (50.0%), capital and investment (33.33%), as well as marketing places (16.67%). This indicated that each aspect needs to be supported by a constant level of commitment, trust, communication, and cooperation. Therefore, this study has an urgency and contribution to relevant partnership patterns for sustainable oil palm plantations in Riau Province, where the nucleus-plasma partnership pattern by corporations is considered strategic because it can facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technology from palm oil industry players, so this study is an important recommendation to increase the productivity of smallholder oil palm plantations.

“…Only a few groups of farmers receive help, which limits the ability of local governments to provide funds. However, increasing funding to support ISPO completion takes work (Pramudya et al, 2022). Various repercussions result from the Indonesian government's response to an ISPO policy that requests global sustainability criteria.…”

This study aims to analyze biofuel use from oil palm as an alternative source of sustainable development. Data were obtained from the Scopus database with the last five years of publication. This research method uses a qualitative approach to the study of literature. Data analysis used bibliometric analysis with Vosviewer and NVIVO 12 plus software. The findings of this study indicate that several countries have used palm oil-based biodiesel as a transportation fuel, one of which is that Indonesia is the leading country in taking advantage of this opportunity. This can be seen from the development of the B30 from government and biodiesel programs which have become triggers for rising CPO prices worldwide and have impacted Fresh Fruit Bunches at the farm level. The study also found fluctuations in the publication of scientific research on biofuels. The most significant contribution to research articles comes from Malaysia. The university with the most number is University Malaya. The following research areas have the potential for further study: production of biofuels, vegetable oils, renewable diesel, and bio. Production energy, biodiesel, biomass, and biofuels are narratives of scientific research papers related to biofuels.
