“…Data abstraction and analysis were carried out using the approach developed by Shaffril et al [21], which provides a thorough approach to analyzing quantitative, qualitative, or mixed mode publications, as shown in Table 4. A total of ten descriptive quantitative studies examined the basic information of the variables [34,36,37,39], as well as the relationship between the variables [7,32,38,[40][41][42]. Another two studies [33,35] used a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews.…”

“…Two studies applied qualitative methods, namely in-depth interviews with informants [33,35], while the remaining nine used quantitative methods. Quantitative studies are divided into studies that use basic descriptive analysis [34,35,37,39] and also in-depth statistical analysis to study the relationship between variables [7,32,38,[40][41][42]. As for the year of publication, as in Figure 2, one study was published in 2015 [33], two studies in 2017 [36,42], one study in 2018 [34], two studies in 2020 [32,35], five studies in 2021 [7,[37][38][39]41], and one study in 2022 [40].…”

Oil palm smallholder farmers are among the key players and are mostly affected by social challenges to the sustainability of the oil palm sector in Malaysia. Previous literature reviews showed a lack of social studies compared to studies of the economy and environment regarding the sustainability of the oil palm industry. Therefore, a systematic literature review focused on the context of social issues and challenges reported by Malaysian oil palm smallholder farmers is presented. The PRISMA standard is applied as the foundation for the systematic literature review writing procedure. A total of 12 papers were chosen out of 340 from Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. They covered three themes, including (i) attitudes, (ii) education, and (iii) the welfare of oil palm smallholder farmers. This systematic literature review has revealed that the social issues and challenges are closely related to the respondents’ demographics, such as the study location, the level of education, and the size of the plantations managed by smallholder farmers. This paper provides an up-to-date review of the social issues and challenges that oil palm smallholder farmers in Malaysia have encountered, as well as insights into future research on critical societal issues and challenges that demand attention and efforts towards improvement.

This study addresses these challenges by exploring the issues faced by the agriculture industry, particularly the need for marketing information, difficulties in reaching potential purchasers, and the need for effective marketing strategies. However, effectively managing this sector's complex supply and demand dynamics presents substantial challenges. The primary objective of this research is to develop a user-friendly agriculture portal called a Demand and Supply (D&S) Portal that empowers small-scale farmers to make informed decisions about marketing their products. The Agile methodology guides the development of this portal, ensuring flexibility, adaptability, and iterative development. The research process incorporates rigorous literature reviews and problem recognition as foundational steps before system development. The evaluation of the portal indicates high user satisfaction. Respondents found the portal's features for managing and monitoring agricultural product demand and supply straightforward and valuable. The portal's usability and efficiency were well-received, with users expressing their intention to recommend it to others. It serves as a reference model for developers and researchers in the agricultural sector, offering valuable insights into demand and supply management. Future enhancements include optimising the portal for mobile use, incorporating product images and pricing information, and enhancing security features. The D&S Agri Portal is a promising tool for empowering small-scale farmers and improving the efficiency of agricultural transactions. Continuous user feedback and technological adaptations will enhance its usability and effectiveness in facilitating agricultural demand and supply management. This research contributes to understanding the agriculture industry's challenges and the potential solutions to address them. It also highlights the importance of empowering small-scale rural farmers through effective marketing platforms.

The global production and consumption of vegetable oils have sparked wide-ranging and often emotive discussions on sustainable development, especially on social media. Here we analyze over 20 million tweets related to vegetable oils to explore the key factors shaping public opinion. Coconut, olive, and palm oils dominate social media discourse not proportionally to their global production. Olive and palm oil discussions remarkably correlate with Twitter’s (now X) growth, while coconut shows more bursts of activity. Discussions around coconut and olive oils primarily focus on health, beauty, and food, while palm oil draws attention to pressing environmental concerns. Virality is related to environmental issues and negative connotations. In the context of the Sustainable Development Goals, this study highlights the multifaceted nature of the vegetable oil debate and its disconnection from scientific discussions. Our research sheds light on the power of social media in shaping public perception, providing insights into sustainable development strategies.
