Abstract

This study aims to: describe the characteristics of oil palm farming in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency; describe the internal and external factors of oil palm farmers in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency; and analyze the influence of internal factors (number of family dependents, farmers’ ethnicity, farmers’ motivation, and level of cosmopolitanism) and external factors (access to marketing, access to capital, price, and distance) on the productivity of oil palm farming in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency. The analytical method used is the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach with a total sample of 68 farmers.The results of the study show that: Oil palm farming in the study area is carried out conventionally. Internal factors include the number of family dependents ranging from 1 to 6 persons, with the majority of farmers being of Javanese ethnicity. Farmers in the study area have high motivation and a high level of cosmopolitanism. External factors include access to marketing, where farmers sell their produce to middlemen, loading ramps (RAM), or directly to palm oil mills. The selling price of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) varies, but on average ranges from Rp 2,600 to Rp 3,050 per kilogram, and the distance between plantations and farmers’ residences varies from 0.1 to 8 kilometers. Internal factors have a positive and significant direct effect on productivity. Internal factors also have a positive and significant indirect effect on productivity through the moderating variable of input use.

Abstract

This study examines the competitiveness of smallholder oil palm plantations in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency, and evaluates how government policies affect their performance. Using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM), this study analyzes comparative and competitive advantages, the impact of policies on inputs and outputs, and the sensitivity of these policies. Conducted in Sari Mulya, Sumber Agung, and Karang Dadi Villages during April–May 2025, this study found that smallholder oil palm plantations in the region have strong competitiveness, reflected in PCR (0.28) and DRCR (0.5458) values ​​below 1. Policy indicators indicate that government interventions do not fully protect tradable inputs (NPCI > 1) and act as a disincentive to output (NPCO < 1), while overall input–output policies remain ineffective (EPC < 1). Sensitivity tests indicate that despite an increase in input prices (12%–25%) or a 10% decrease in output prices, oil palm plantations maintain their competitive and comparative advantages. In conclusion, smallholder oil palm plantations in Rimbo Ilir Regency remain highly competitive and worthy of further development.

Abstract

The decreasing trend of rubber land area and increasing oil palm land area in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency, from 2019 to 2023 indicates a conversion of rubber land to oil palm land. This study aims to: determine the description of the conversion of rubber land to oil palm in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency, analyze the factors that influence the conversion of rubber land to oil palm. This study was conducted in three villages: Sari Mulya Village, Karang Dadi Village, and Sepakat Bersatu Village, with a sample of 66 farmers. The sampling method was carried out in two stages: simple random sampling and proportional stratified random sampling. The data analysis method used in this study was binary logistic regression analysis. The results of the study indicate that The conversion of rubber land to oil palm in Rimbo Ilir District has occurred since 2015, with an average area of ​​land converted of 4 hectares. The land conversion process includes cutting down rubber trees, determining planting distances, plant maintenance, and harvesting when the oil palm is at least 4 years old. Farmers' decisions to convert rubber land to oil palm are significantly influenced by seven variables, namely: number of family members, land area, farming experience, technical conditions, economic motives, other sources of income, and farmer ethnicity. Of the seven variables, six variables have a positive effect, while the number of family members has a negative effect on farmers' decisions to convert rubber land to oil palm.

Abstract

This study aims to: describe the implementation of oil palm farming in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency; analyze the effect of production input use on actual and frontier production of oil palm farming; and analyze the effect of production inputs on production risk in oil palm farming in Rimbo Ilir District, Tebo Regency. The research data were obtained from 80 farmer respondents using the simple random sampling method and supported by secondary data from relevant institutions. Data were analyzed using the Cobb-Douglas production function, Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) with the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) approach, and the Just and Pope model. The results indicate that production factors consisting of land area, NPK fertilizer, urea fertilizer, and dolomite significantly influence oil palm farm production, while herbicides and labor have no significant effect. The average technical efficiency value shows that farmers have not yet achieved full efficiency in utilizing production inputs, implying that there is still potential to improve productivity. The production risk analysis reveals that certain production inputs increase production risk, while others contribute to its reduction. In conclusion, oil palm farming in Rimbo Ilir District has not yet reached optimal technical efficiency. It is recommended that farmers improve farm management practices, use production inputs appropriately, and receive policy support in the provision of production facilities to enhance productivity and minimize production risks

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the marketing strategies and marketing effectiveness of fresh palm fruit (FFB) grown by independent smallholder farmers in Sarolangun Regency's Mandiangin area. The study location was chosen because Mandiangin's palm FFB distribution method involves multiple different marketing channels. The research involved 45 purposively selected respondents, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to independent farmers as well as related marketing institutions. The analysis was carried out by applying several indicators, including technical and economic efficiency indices, marketing costs, marketing margins, farmers’ share, and overall marketing efficiency. The findings show that there are four marketing channels for palm FFB in the study area, which involve collection points (RAM) and middlemen (toke). Among the four channels, Channel IV shows the highest level of economic efficiency, characterized by a marketing margin of IDR 0/kg, a farmer’s share of 100%, and an economic efficiency index of 4.55 IDR/kg. In contrast, Channel III demonstrates the highest technical efficiency, with a technical efficiency value of 14,29 IDR/kg/km. Furthermore, the MANOVA results reveal statistically significant differences in marketing efficiency across the four channels when assessed based on both technical and economic efficiency indicators.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the characteristics of independent oil palm farmers, analyze the internal and external factors affecting their farming activities, and evaluate their effects on oil palm productivity, both directly and indirectly through the use of production inputs, in Mandiangin District, Sarolangun Regency. The study area was selected because it is one of the major smallholder oil palm production centers in the regency. Primary data were collected from independent oil palm farmers using structured questionnaires and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach with SmartPLS and Microsoft Excel.The results show that independent oil palm plantations are still managed using conventional farming practices, while the use of production inputs has not fully complied with recommended standards, resulting in suboptimal plantation management. Farmers are generally of productive age, have primary to secondary education, moderate farming experience, and moderate levels of knowledge, motivation, and family dependency. External conditions indicate that marketing is still dominated by local collectors (toke), access to collection points is relatively easy, fertilizer availability is high, while fresh fruit bunch (FFB) prices remain relatively low. The structural model indicates that both internal and external factors have a positive and significant effect on oil palm productivity. Furthermore, internal factors have a positive and significant indirect effect through the moderating variable of production input use, whereas external factors have a positive but statistically insignificant indirect effect through the same variable.
