Abstract

 Sustainable palm oil production has emerged as a critical global issue due to its significant environmental and economic implications. This study employs a bibliometric analysis using data from Scopus and VOSviewer to examine research trends in sustainable palm oil production, focusing on environmental and economic perspectives. The findings reveal key research themes, including sustainability, biodiversity, oil production, certification, and smallholder participation. The analysis also highlights the dichotomy between economic development and environmental conservation, with strong research clusters examining both ecological impacts and governance mechanisms. Certification programs such as RSPO, ISPO, and MSPO play a crucial role in sustainability efforts, though challenges remain in ensuring equitable access for smallholders. The international co-authorship network suggests limited collaboration between palm oil-producing and consumer nations, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary and cross-national research. The study underscores emerging trends in supply chain transparency and policy interventions as crucial aspects of future sustainable palm oil research. The insights gained from this bibliometric analysis can aid policymakers, researchers, and industry stakeholders in shaping more effective and inclusive sustainability strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the socio-economic conditions of fishermen in Lake Sentani, Jayapura Regency, with a focus on challenges and local wisdom-based strategies to improve their welfare. Lake Sentani, as a major natural resource, has great potential in the fisheries and tourism sectors, but fishermen face problems such as resource exploitation, pollution, and limited access to technology. This study used multiple regression analysis. The results show a dependence on traditional fishing, low productivity, and capital and marketing constraints. Factors such as education, experience, capital, and access to facilities significantly influence fishermen's welfare. Existing fisheries policies remain weak in terms of socialization and oversight. To improve welfare, income diversification, technology adoption, and capacity building for fishermen are needed. Local wisdom-based strategies include pollution management, zoning management, business literacy, and the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable local fisheries value chain-based business models. Collaboration between business actors and digital technology is crucial to expanding markets and improving fishermen's welfare.⁠

Abstract

Large capture-fisheries and aquaculture potential in Papua Province has yet to meet the reality of regional development based on fisheries, due to infrastructure gaps, limited value-added processing, weak institutions, and continuous external risks. This study assesses the regional-based fisheries potential development strategy in Papua Province to increase coastal community welfare without compromising resource sustainability. Secondary data from the period of 2003–2024 are combined with stakeholder inputs from surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions and analyzed by using a SWOT framework supported by IFAS–EFAS weighting to identify strategic priorities. The mean IFAS score revealed that internal strengths (3.27) outweighed weaknesses (1.53), largely attributed to abundant fish resources, emerging fishing/processing technologies, government support, market potential, and local wisdom of coastal areas. Results from EFAS revealed that the mean opportunities (3.16) outweigh threats (1.81), particularly export demand, progress in technology, government programs, and digital marketing prospects, although illegal fishing, overfishing pressures, climate variability, and conflict over fishing grounds remained the key concerns. The position here is in the first quadrant, denoting an area where the fishery can grow well and indicates the need to focus more on Strength-Opportunity (SO) plans involving the optimization of export-directed manufacturing, the enhancement of fish processing facilities to increase value addition to fish, and the use of e-commerce and online marketing, as well as the use of local economic institutions to improve fish distribution, and the development of networks based on local culture to ensure superior processed fish products.
