“…In Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah, the current incidences of BSR were 28%, 9%, and 23%, respectively (Idris et al 2004 ; Flood et al 2000 ). Kalimantan and the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea would be slightly, highly, and moderately affected by BSR by 2050 (Paterson 2019 ; Paterson, 2020b ; Lisnawita and Tantawi 2016 ; Merciere et al 2017 ; Paterson and Lima 2018 ; Paterson and Lima 2012 ; Paterson et al 2013 ).…”

The interaction and the interplay of climate change with oil palm production in the Southeast Asia region are of serious concern. This particularly applies in Malaysia due to its rank as the second largest palm oil producer in the world. The anthropogenic activities and the agroecological practices in oil palm plantation, including excessive use of fertilisers, bush fire due to land clearing, and cultivation on peatland, have exacerbated the effects of climate change featuring extreme events, drought, flooding, heatwave, as well as infestation of pest and diseases. These adverse impacts on oil palm production highlight the significance of deploying effective adaptation strategies. The study aims to examine the impact of climate change on oil palm production and identify the farmers’ adaptation strategies to the impacts of climate change in Malaysia. This study was conducted a comprehensive review of the articles published from 2000 to 2021 in the contexts of climate change and oil palm production in Malaysia. The review shows that climate change has a range of impacts on the oil palm production in Malaysia. As a result, several adaptation options were identified, such as breeding of hybrid varieties that are tolerant and resistant to heat; sustainable management of soil; pit and tranches to enhance water management in plantation areas; minimal use of fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides; zero burning; and minimum tillage. The reviewed studies recommended the following to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change: sustainable national policy on climate change, conservation of the existing carbon stock, effective management of tropical rainforest biodiversity, afforestation for carbon sequestration, and reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.

“…Oil palm is currently grown in optimal climatic conditions and has been for many decades (Corley & Tinker, 2015; Paterson, 2018a, 2018b, 2018c, 2019a, 2019b, 2020;Paterson et al., 2015; Paterson & Lima, 2018). The increase in BSR previously reported (Ariffin, Idris, & Singh, 2000; Flood, Hasan, Turner, & O`Grady, 2000; Lisnawita & Tantawi, 2016; Merciere et al., 2017; Paterson et al., 2013) will not be as a result of increased susceptibility of OP from less suitable climate, but partly from increased virulence of the fungus (Paterson, 2019a, 2019b). Repeated cropping of OP will also increase BSR especially in old plantations.…”

“…Forty‐50% of palms were lost in plantations, and the majority had disease symptoms by the time of replanting (i.e., 25 years): The incidences were low originally (Flood et al., 2000). Disease incidences in Asahan, Indonesia indicated a climate change‐related event (Lisnawita et al., 2016). Hence, a trend for increased BSR with climate change is implied from the above.…”

Oil palm (OP) is affected by climate change and the cultivation of the crop also contributes to climate alteration. Simulation modelling and large data sets indicated the effects of climate change on OP will be to (a) reduce growth and yields and (b) cause death of some OP. Furthermore, basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma boninense, a serious disease of OP, has increased over the past two or three decades because of the disease spreading from infection foci at a greater rate in repeated crops of OP planted on infested sites. The disease may increase further by natural selection of more virulent strains of the fungus. In this paper, increased mortality of OP is predicted based on climate change scenarios for Kalimantan and other South‐East Asian countries with palm oil industries. Climate suitability scenarios for growing OP are also used to assess how BSR will change in the specified region and countries. The data suggest that Kalimantan and the Philippines may be more suitable for growing OP than Thailand and Myanmar, with Papua New Guinea being intermediate. Development of methods for mitigating the effects of climate change on OP is urgently required.

“…By the time of replanting (25 years), 40–50% of palms were lost in some fields, with the majority of standing palms showing disease symptoms [11], whereas levels were low originally. The disease level in Asahan, Indonesia indicated a climate change-related event [12]. This information indicates a trend for increasing BSR with projected climate change.…”

Ganoderma boninense Disease of Oil Palm to Significantly Reduce Production After 2050 in Sumatra if Projected Climate Change Occurs

Palm oil is a valuable crop. This relates to the high economic return from sales of the commodity, where Indonesia is the major producer in the world and the island of Sumatra is the most important region for palm oil production in the country. The island can be considered as a model for other oil palm growing regions in SE Asia. The area in Sumatra with a suitable climate for growing oil palm will decrease in size due to projected climate change as demonstrated specifically herein. The more unsuitable climate will lead to concomitant increases in basal stem rot (BSR) by Ganoderma boninense, as previously predicted, which is of major concern to sustainability in SE Asia. A novel approach is described herein, whereby (a) a determination of suitable climate for growing oil palm in Sumatra and (b) deductions to determine future BSR levels on the island were undertaken. The unsuitability of the climate for oil palm is predicted to increase dramatically after 2050 when BSR is predicted to increase to very high levels on most parts of the island. This is likely to make palm oil production unsustainable at some stage between 2050 and 2100. North Sumatra may be more sustainable than the other areas considered in Sumatra. These effects of projected climate change require amelioration before the high levels of BSR and the unsuitable climate for oil palm are realized.
