Abstract

This study examines the effect of knowledge sharing on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with a mentoring program as a mediating variable among fostered partners of PT Perkebunan Nusantara III. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method through structured questionnaires. The population consisted of all MSMEs supported by PT Perkebunan Nusantara III, with 96 business actors selected using purposive sampling based on established development criteria. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to evaluate the relationships among variables simultaneously. The results indicate that knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on MSME performance. Furthermore, the mentoring program significantly strengthens the influence of knowledge sharing on business performance. This finding suggests that knowledge sharing becomes more effective when supported by mentoring that is relevant, continuous, and aligned with organizational needs. The study provides practical implications for partnership program managers to develop mentoring as a strategic mechanism to improve knowledge transfer and enhance MSME performance.

Abstract

This study evaluates the economic potential and strategic options for utilizing oil palm frond waste as an additional source of income for farmers and communities living around the plantation. The research was conducted from June to August 2026 at the Sei Meranti Estate of PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV, Meranti Makmur Village, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. A descriptive mixed-methods design was employed. The study involved 65 respondents, selected using the Slovin formula and proportionate stratified random sampling, together with eight key informants chosen through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, documentation, and a literature review. The analytical procedures included descriptive analysis, cost and revenue analysis, income analysis, the revenue–cost ratio, income contribution analysis, and SWOT analysis using the IFAS and EFAS matrices. The findings indicate that 60% of respondents reported that oil palm fronds were still arranged between planting rows and had not yet been processed into commercial products. Fermented animal feed emerged as the most promising alternative, generating a net income of IDR 4,500,000 per month, an R/C ratio of 1.75, and an income contribution of 8.57%. The SWOT analysis positioned the business development strategy in Quadrant I. The priority strategies include establishing a group-based business unit, providing processing training, procuring shredding machinery, standardizing production processes, conducting market trials, and strengthening collaboration among the company, the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), the village government, and local livestock farmers.

Abstract

The Indonesian oil palm plantation industry relies heavily on labor-intensive operations, yet workforce management continues to face persistent challenges related to equitable compensation, worker welfare, human resource development, and the determination of appropriate labor requirements across different plantation stages. This study aims to examine how compensation systems, workforce development programs, and labor-to-hectare planning collectively support effective labor management in oil palm plantations. A descriptive qualitative approach employing a literature review was adopted by synthesizing secondary data from scientific publications, government regulations, and official reports published between 2022 and 2026. The collected literature was analyzed using descriptive content analysis to identify recurring patterns and integrate evidence from multiple sources. The findings indicate that compensation in oil palm plantations includes direct financial, indirect financial, and non-financial benefits; however, Casual Daily Workers remain the most vulnerable group because of limited employment protection and social security coverage. The analysis also reveals that labor requirements differ across plantation growth phases and are influenced by plantation characteristics, topography, planting density, and mechanization levels. These findings highlight that integrating fair compensation, continuous workforce development, and evidence-based labor planning can improve workforce efficiency while supporting sustainable plantation management and strengthening long-term labor productivity.

Abstract

State-owned enterprises (SOEs) operating in Indonesia’s palm oil plantation sector face challenges in determining accurate production costs because plantation activities involve multiple interconnected stages, from crop cultivation to crude palm oil (CPO) processing. Inaccurate cost classification may reduce the reliability of cost-of-production information used for planning, cost control, and managerial decision-making. This study aims to examine the structure of production costs, the cost-account classification system, and the tiered calculation of production costs applied in palm oil plantation SOEs. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed through a literature review supported by secondary data from scientific publications, accounting references, and documented evidence from the Ajamu Palm Oil Mill of PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV. The findings indicate that consistent classification of direct, indirect, fixed, and variable costs provides the basis for a structured cost-account system that supports tiered cost calculations at the estate (AF Kebun), mill (AF Pabrik), and Free on Board (FOB) levels. This integrated costing framework improves cost traceability, facilitates responsibility accounting, and strengthens managerial evaluation of production efficiency and pricing decisions. These findings highlight the importance of a well-organized cost accounting system in enhancing operational control and supporting sustainable management practices within palm oil plantation SOEs.

Abstract

Indonesia remains the world's largest producer of palm oil, yet the industry continues to face significant sustainability challenges related to deforestation, peatland conversion, labour issues, social conflicts, and increasingly stringent international market requirements. These challenges have intensified the need to strengthen sustainable certification systems through the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). This study aims to examine the complementary roles of ISPO and RSPO in supporting the sustainability and global competitiveness of Indonesia's palm oil sector from the perspectives of human resources, social responsibility, economic performance, environmental management, governance, and industrial competitiveness. The study employed a qualitative literature review by analysing recent academic publications, government regulations, and institutional reports published mainly between 2020 and 2026. The collected literature was classified into thematic dimensions and examined through descriptive qualitative analysis to identify convergent findings and emerging issues. The results indicate that ISPO provides a mandatory national regulatory framework, whereas RSPO enhances access to international premium markets through stricter sustainability standards. Integrating both certification systems can improve operational performance, strengthen governance, reduce regulatory risks, and enhance market competitiveness. Nevertheless, limited certification among independent smallholders and evolving international regulations remain important challenges for achieving long-term sustainability.

Abstract

The labor-intensive nature of Indonesia’s oil palm plantation industry requires effective workforce management; however, existing studies generally examine manpower planning, compensation, training, or labor productivity separately, with limited integration across these key management dimensions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of labor requirement management by examining workforce planning, compensation and employee welfare, human resource development, and labor-to-land ratio calculations within oil palm plantations. A qualitative descriptive approach based on library research was employed by reviewing government regulations, industry standards, and peer-reviewed publications issued mainly between 2021 and 2026. The collected literature was organized, compared, and interpreted to identify consistent findings and practical implications for plantation management. The results indicate that labor planning should be based on work norms while considering plantation characteristics such as topography, crop age, planting density, rainfall, and worker experience. Harvesting activities remain the most labor-intensive operation, with an average requirement of one harvester for every 20-25 hectares of mature plantation and an overall workforce ratio of approximately one worker per 7-9 hectares in well-managed estates. The study highlights that integrating accurate labor planning, fair compensation, continuous competency development, and adaptive workforce strategies can improve operational efficiency, productivity, and long-term sustainability in the oil palm plantation sector.
