Abstract

The expansion of smallholder oil palm plantations in Riau has not only had a positive impact on the economy but has also been followed by an increase in agrarian conflict cases. This research tries to contribute ideas in efforts to overcome agrarian conflicts in oil palm plantations, especially in the KKPA scheme which still lacks systematic analysis from a social, legal, and financial perspective. This research focuses on a case study of agrarian conflict in KKPA Bongkal Malang, Indragiri Hulu Regency, Riau, where no conflict resolution mechanism has been found to date. The findings of this research indicate that the agrarian conflict of KKPA Bongkal Malang can be categorized as a critical and wide-scale social conflict, with significant negative impacts on social and economic aspects for both parties. Regulatory changes led to a mismatch in the legality of the Bongkal Malang KKPA partnership with new legal provisions, creating uncertainty in investment. The unresolved conflict also made the financial viability of the partnership unviable. The analysis concludes that continuing the Bongkal Malang KKPA partnership is not feasible, and conflict resolution is a top priority. The resolution of this conflict requires political support and political will from the central and local governments, with a negotiation-mediation or reconciliation-cooperation approach considered the most appropriate mechanism, ensuring a fair solution for all parties involved.

Abstract

Palm oil plantations are often criticized for poor governance practices covering environmental, social, and economic aspects. Sustainability certification has emerged as a solution to these issues, offering assurances of sustainability in the supply chain to stakeholders, including smallholders. Without certification, smallholders face significant risks, including market volatility and production losses, which able to impact their income and the sustainability of their operations. This study aims to evaluate and compare production and income risks between certified and non-certified smallholders. Research method involves calculating the coefficient of variation to measure risk. Results show that certified smallholders face lower risks compared to non-certified smallholders, both in terms of production and income. This reflects better risk management, particularly in more efficient labor allocation and higher financial gains, despite higher costs. This success is inseparable from the support of the RSPO and cooperatives, which play a vital role in fulfilling the commitment to achieve the goals outlined in the Theory of Change (ToC).
