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.

PENDAHULUAN Latar BelakangBuah merupakan komoditi pertanian yang mudah rusak, tidak dapat disimpan lama karena cepat busuk dan mudah diserang hama atau penyakit. Demikian pula halnya dengan buah durian akan cepat rusak bila tidak ditangani dengan baik. Mulai dari panen sampai tiba di tangan konsumen (Sobir, 2010).Peluang bisnis durian sangat bagus, saat ini permintaan dan harga durian tergolong tinggi, karena memberikan keuntungan menggiurkan bagi siapa saja yang membudidayakan.

The sale of fresh fruit bunches in Putri Hijau sub-district has variety of marketing channels from farmers to consumers. The diversity of marketing channels should result in differences in the price levels received by farmers and the costs incurred by each marketing agency, such as freight costs, transportation costs to factories, fruit shrinkage costs, and other costs. This study aims to identify marketing channels and compare the marketing channel efficiency of fresh fruit bunches (TBS) of palm oil formed in Kecamatan Putri Hijau, North Bengkulu. Determination of farmer respondents is done by purposive sampling counted 41 people, and marketing agency respondents use snowball sampling method. The results showed that there are three channels of marketing of oil palm FFS formed, namely Channel I (farmers -collector traders -factories), Channel II (farmers -farmer groups -factories), Channel III (farmers -factories). The most widely used channels by farmers are channel I (farmers -collectors -mills) that have the highest margin and low farmer's share. The merchandise margin and the profit-to-cost ratio indicate that only marketing channel I in Bani Village is efficient. Marketing channel I in Desa Bani Village has a marketing margin value of Rp206/kg with the value of profit to marketing cost ratio of 1.17.
