“…Current monitoring activities rely on traditional surveying methods. Additionally, academia and industry are not collaborating sufficiently in mutual advancing in palm oil sustainability (Hansen et al 2015), which may be due to the lack of understanding of the techniques and the sensitive information in the context of successful palm oil production on the industrial side. It is necessary to bridge the gap between academia and industry for an effective use of remote sensing.…”

The growth of the oil palm industry causes degradation to the environment, especially when the expansion of plantations goes uncontrolled. Remote sensing is a useful tool to monitor the development of oil palm plantations. In order to promote the use of remote sensing in the oil palm industry to support their drive for sustainability, this paper provides an understanding toward the use of remote sensing and its applications to oil palm plantation monitoring. In addition, the existing knowledge gaps are identified and recommendations for further research are given.

“…Studies have shown that large-scale biodiversity loss accompanies palm oil conversion of natural forests (Fitzherbert et al, Foster et al, 2011, 2008Koh & Ghazoul, 2008) as well as contributing to long-term increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide, particularly where plantations are established on peat (Hooijer et al, 2010). Sustainability concerns are also associated with palm oil production at plantations and mills, including environmental impacts from the open lagoon treatment and discharge of palm oil mill effluent (Hansen et al, 2015), and fertiliser and pesticide use (Choo et al, 2011).…”

“…Sustainability research for palm oil has been increasing since 2004 with the majority research related to palm oil residue and lacks of other aspects, such as economic benefit (Hansen et al 2015). In previous researches, benefits of RSPO certification rather vary between smallholders and private companies.…”

RSPO is sustainable. It is one of many certification labels to justify a sustainable palm oil practice. The objective of this study is to identify monetary benefit and cost with the existing operating scenario of the company, or if the company is registered as the RSPO member. To identify the benefit or cost that might occur, this research compared the NPV, IRR, and benefitcost ratio among the alternative scenarios. An ex-ante projective cash flow is simulated using the company's historical financial report from year 2012-2016 to obtain monetary perspective of the amount of money required by the plantation to proceed with certification. Certification should cost the plantation around 466 billion rupiahs with only 66 billion rupiahs of additional income from CPO premium if the company is able to complete its certification by 2019. Total benefit of income obtained from selling the certified products of CPO and PKO may cover the certification expense which does not exceed the cost paid with the discrepancy of 331 billion rupiahs. This amount can be used to establish another palm oil plantation, create jobs and contribute to domestic products. However, the net monetary loss is close to the value obtained from timber upon land clearing, which was at 286 billion rupiahs. Being sustainable is probably never about monetary value but more about the responsibility of managing the sustainable oil palm plantation and the environment that must be taken care of. Keywords
