Palm oil is a primary commodity in West Kalimantan, contributing significantly to the regional economy. Palm oil productivity is significantly influenced by various factors, including the type of soil used for cultivation. This study aims to analyze trends in palm oil production by soil type in West Kalimantan for the period 2019-2022. This study used quantitative descriptive analysis to collect palm oil production data by soil type and to analyze production trends over 4 years using simple statistical methods. The results show that soil type plays a significant role in determining palm oil productivity in West Kalimantan. Mineral soils showed relatively stable productivity, while moderate acid sulfate soils experienced a significant increase in 2022, following declines in 2020 and 2021. Lowland soils showed a consistent downward trend, with the lowest yield recorded in 2020. This study indicates that soil type plays a significant role in determining palm oil productivity in West Kalimantan. These findings have important implications for more efficient and sustainable palm oil farming management.
