“…The restriction on the use of oil palm land in Indonesia requires farmers to effi ciently use the resources. As (Hoffmann et al, 2017), puts it, in the future, the Oil Palm industry will face socio-economic pressures due to land constraints, the volatility of CPO prices, the availability and cost of labor, and the cost of fertilizing.…”

This study aims to (1) identify the factors affecting the production of oil palm cultivation business by the smallholders and (2) identify the technical level as well as factors infl uencing business ineffi ciency of oil palm cultivation by the smallholders in Air Sugihan Sub District of Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, South Sumatera Province. This research uses the basic method of analytical descriptive method. The data were collected by way of observation and direct interviews in the fi eld guided by a questionnaire. The research location was determined purposively, that is in Pangkalan Damai Village, Air Sugihan Sub-district, Ogan Komering Ilir Municipality, South Sumatera Province. Sampling was conducted using non probabilistic sampling method (purposive sampling). The research investigated 79 smallholder farmers of oil palm cultivation in Pangkalan Damai village of Air Sugihan Sub-district, Ogan Komering Ilir Municipality, South Sumatera Province.. On the basis of the analysis, it is revealed that (1) the factors affecting the increase of palm production were labor, land area, TSP fertilizer, NPK fertilizer, organic fertilizer, herbicides and insecticides which also have an effect on decreasing palm production. (2) Palm plantation business was technically effi cient with the average technical level of smallholder palm farmers in Air Sugihan Sub-district of Ogan Komering Ilir Municipality of 0.86090. Factors that decrease the technical ineffi ciency in smallholder palm cultivation in Air Sugihan Sub-district of Ogan Komering Ilir Regency were farmers' education level . This information can be used by the goverment to improve technical effi ciency through education in the form of counseling and training to increase production.

“…This is worth stressing because, according to Ruiz et al, 2017 (in press), typologies having low technology adoption indices (2 and 3) were only applying 50%-60% of the amount of fertiliser demanded by the crop. Consequently, extension efforts should be aimed at encouraging the proper use of this consumable, as in other studies of yield gaps regarding oil palm crops it has been shown to be a factor limiting high yields being obtained (Euler, Hoffmann, Fathoni, & Schwarze, 2016 Other tasks accounting for around 30% of annual crop maintenance costs in the three typologies were fruit harvesting and transport (Figure 3), these were directly influenced by the amount of fruit produced on a hectare, since payments are set by the ton of FFB (either harvested, or transported).…”

Adopting technology regarding agricultural crops has traditionally been associated with high costs. Producers have thus often abstained from adopting better agronomical practices and have consequently lost the benefits they could otherwise have obtained by implementing better criteria for managing their crops.This research builds on results by Ruiz et al., (2017) who found three typologies of oil palm lots, regarding adoption of technology and yields on oil palm crops from Colombia. This work was aimed at evaluating the typologies found by Ruiz et al. (2017) from an economic standpoint by using different economic assessment methods, in order to determine the benefits of technology adoption at the Colombian oil palm agroindustry. The methods used were aimed at estimating: unit cost, net present value (NPV), net income, land use efficiency, generation of income and competitiveness.Results indicate that the cost of producing a ton of fresh fruit bunches from oil palms (FFB) on lots having high adoption of technology was 2.5% to 8% lower when compared to lots having lower adoption of technology (Typologies 2 and 3. respectively). Technology adoption enables greater yearly net income to be obtained in mature oil palm crops in typology 1, than the one obtained at typology 2 and typology 3. The adoption of technology allows the grower to obtain net income equivalent to a legally-established yearly minimum wage (LEYMW), using less land. Finally, it was concluded that at average CPO prices for the period 2005-2015, the Colombian growers that participated in this study, may be competitive at the European market, which is the main destination of Colombian exports of crude palm oil (CPO).

“…The understanding of the biological processes behind yield limiters can be achieved by combining omics technologies and high throughput phenotyping in crop improvement. Hoffmann et al [178] and Woittiez et al [179] gave a comprehensive review on the magnitude, main causes, and management of these yield gaps, focusing on oil palm. These yield gaps are influenced by the potential yield, the water-limited and nutrient-limited yield, and the actual yield.…”

Crop yield improvement is essential for feeding the growing world population without concomitant increases in land allocated to agriculture. Oil crops are critical components of food supply as well as non-food applications. Oil palm is of particular value due to its significantly higher yield per unit area of land as compared to other oil crops. In the context of sustainable production of edible oils, this review will discuss the role of biochemical-omics techniques, including metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics research for yield improvement through plant breeding; in particular, the unique challenges of the mesocarp-oil bearing perennial crop, oil palm, are specifically discussed along with perspectives on what is needed for future crop improvement. Future oil crop improvement will need to go beyond classical trait selection, and omics research needs to go beyond looking at oil biosynthesis and fruit development. We need to explore carbon supply and flux, plant stress response, nutrient uptake and water use through a combination of genetics, biochemistry, epigenetics and gene interaction coupled to more detailed and continuous phenotypic data analysis.
