“…Plantations must also follow agreed best practices and completely respect the fundamental rights and living conditions of millions of plantation workers, small-scale farmers and indigenous citizens. In this regard, the RSPO works proactively with oil palm producers, palm oil processing plants, businesses, retailers, non-governmental organizations and investors to work together towards a global supply of socially and environmentally responsible palm oil [18].…”

Indonesia has emerged into the largest palm oil-producing nation in just a few decades, leaving Malaysia behind. Undeniably, palm oil has substantially contributed to the country’s economic development. Nonetheless, it comes with refutation for deforestation, environmental degradation, and social tensions, are also evident. The palm oil industry has been recognized as one of the major producers of greenhouse gases, including CO2. The Government of Indonesia (GOI) is committed to maintaining the palm oil industry, despite the strain of the European Union, as millions of workers depend on these industries for their livelihoods. The GOI requests that each palm oil firm pursue the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification regarding the adverse impacts. Around 20% of the country’s entire palm oil industry has received an ISPO certificate. By 2023, all palm oil companies must be ISPO accredited, as this regulation is compulsory. By reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gasses, implementing all the ISPO guidelines in the palm oil industry will support the industry and protect the environment. This paper will review the implementation of sustainable Indonesia’s palm oil industry under the current situation, corresponding with ISPO and RSPO (Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil).

“…However, to wholistically achieve this competitive advantage for these artisans in Ghana, two major considerations must be given attention. These are the government services utility function and the business aspect of the milling (Tampubolon & Pasaribu, 2017). For developing countries such as Ghana, injection of capital and cutting‐edge technology developed in other countries and general improvement of macroeconomic environment will flourish the operations of artisanal millers to have a greater competitive advantage.…”

There has been tremendous demand for palm oil globally due to it varied used in the food, biofuel, and oleochemicals. Ghana is a net importer of palm oil despite producing some best yielding varieties. This is ascribed to operation of palm oil artisanal mills, which account for close to 80% of palm oil production. Artisans are bedeviled with enormous challenges in their processing activities but possess the key of increasing

The palm oil industry has created business potential. Palm oil agribusiness is one of the industrial sectors in Indonesia that possesses a competitive advantage in the global market. The development of the palm oil industry in Indonesia has been carried out with a focus on achieving a balance among social, financial, and environmental aspects. The attention of oil palm plantation employees is crucial for increasing productivity. This research aims to analyze the influence of the harvest premium variables: length of service, age, education level, number of dependents, grants, and geology on the work implementation of oil palm harvesting workers at PT Semadam. This research was conducted in June 2022 at PT. Semadam, Aceh Tamiang. In this research, the survey method was employed. The number of samples was calculated using the Slovin Formula with an error rate of 10% or 0.1. This calculation obtained a sample size of 40 respondents from a population of 45 people. The research results indicate a collective influence of independent factors (premium collection, work involvement, age, education level, number of dependents, aid funds, and geographical location) on the dependent variable (work implementation). However, premium collection, education level, and geography significantly influence worker performance, while work involvement, age, work involvement, and grants do not substantially impact worker performance. The coefficient of determination, 0.825, indicates that the independent variables explain 82.5% of the variance in the dependent variable, while other factors influence 17.5%.
