PurposeThis study aimed to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the oil palm smallholders' income, which includes both on-farm and off-farm resources.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a simultaneous equations system for arranging the oil palm household economic model.FindingsThe results showed that the negative effect of demand disruption (decreasing of household income) is more than supply disruption (production declining). Declining household income due to COVID-19 caused farmer households to have no access to both basic need and other goods.Research limitations/implicationsThe samples for before-pandemic data differed from the situation during COVID-19 in both the location and the person due to technical constraints in research sites.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this study was providing an empirical understanding of how the COVID-19 pandemic influences the economic behavior of the most vulnerable entities in the Indonesian palm oil industry (oil palm smallholder farmers' households). This study would provide baseline information on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy of oil palm smallholder's household income.
Smallholder oil palm plantations play an essential role in the Indonesian economy, both on a national, regional, local, and household scale. However, no data or studies show how much smallholder oil palm plantations contribute to achieving in each sustainable development goals (SDGs). The development of smallholder oil palm plantations, like other economic developments, wherever conducted needs to provide benefits to the community such that it exceeds the costs incurred, including the costs of preserving and protecting the environment. To assess its contribution, it is essential to examine the Sustainable Development targets in which smallholder oil palm plantations contribute. Therefore, this study is aimed at examining sustainable development goals to which smallholder oil palm plantations can contribute. Based on focus group discussion and the literature review, there are 13 SDGs for smallholder oil palm plantations that contribute and play a role in achieving the targets set by the United Nations in sustainable development. These results are significant as a basis for further studies to prove the presumption concerning the role and positive contribution of smallholder oil palm plantations in each of the existing SDG targets.
Maintaining and promoting the development of agricultural sector must not be separated from the role of plantation sub-sector development. Plantation sub-sector which is part of the national development and one of the most important commodity in Indonesia's economy is palm oil. This research was executed at the palm oil harvesting workers in PT. Bio Nusantara Teknologi, Bengkulu regency on April -May 2010. The purposes of this research were: (1) to count the productivity of the palm oil harvesting workers and (2) to analyze the factors that influence the productivity of the palm oil harvesting workers in PT. Bio Nusantara Teknologi Bengkulu. The amount of 121 daily payment workers was taken from 10 afdelling by stratified random sampling. The research showed that the productivity of the palm oil harvesting workers was 130,314 kg/day. While, factors that affected the productivity of the palm oil harvesting workers were workers' age and the amount of burden dependency family.
The main objective of this study is to determine the income and financial risks of
