The objective of this research was to highlight the economic importance of the optimal use of products and byproducts of oil palm. In Colombia, productive crops per hectare can generate, over one year, an average of 3.14 tons of oil, and up to 21.68 t of solid and liquid waste when the plant is on a productive stage. These data allowed the researcher to estimate that more than nine million of t of solid and liquid waste was produced from the 450 131 ha present in 2014, in Colombia; the produced biomass was used to generate energy and steam, releasing carbon dioxide back again into the environment. These residues have great potential in many industries, some to be developed, therefore, it is of special importance to try to maximize the use of waste produced by oil palm production, to generate economic and environmental benefits. An example of this is the palm kernel cake, with a nutritional potential in animal feed, fiber in the biocompound industry, biomass and stipe in the timber industry, glycerol, biodiesel, and liquid effluents in the chemical and biotechnological industry. The use of these raw materials may help to establish a positive balance in the cultivation of this species of oil palm in the country.

Abstrak            Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menguraikan nilai ekonomi dengan pemanfaatan limbah kelapa sawit menuju Zero Waste Production.  Satu hektar kelapa sawit, setiap tahunnya menghasilkan 25 ton tandan buah segar (TBS) padahal yang menjadi minyak dan inti sawit hanya sekitar 25%, dengan demikian 19 ton dari TBS akan menjadi limbah. Dengan semakin gencarnya isu lingkungan maka diperlukan pemanfaatan dan pengendalian limbah industri kelapa sawit yang ramah lingkungan agar dapat memberikan nilai tambah dan mengurangi biaya yang pada akhirnya memberikan keuntungan bagi berbagai pihak, baik pihak perkebunan, pabrik, masyarakat dan lingkungan. Konsep 3R (Reuse, Recyle dan Recovery) akan mendorong setiap penghasil limbah untuk menjadikan limbahnya memiliki nilai ekonomis dan menguragi biaya. Pemanfaatan limbah kelapa sawit dapat mengurangi biaya produksi listrik, briket arang, bahan baku pulp, pakan ternak, dan menghemat biaya pupuk. Kata kunci : nilai ekonomi, pemanfaatan, limbah, isu lingkungan, konsep 3R                      (Reuse, Recyle  dan Recovery)  Abstract             This paper aims to outline the economic value of the use of palm oil waste towards Zero Waste Production. One hectare of oil palm, annually produce 25 tonnes of fresh fruit bunches (FFB), whereas the oil and palm kernel only about 25%, so 19 tonnes of FFB would be a waste. With the developed environmental issues will require the use and control of industrial waste environmentally friendly palm oil in order to provide added value and reduce costs, which in turn provide benefits to various parties, both the plantations, factories, communities and the environment.

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) is a part of the family of Arecaceae, which originated from West Africa. Oil palm can be grown in the tropics of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. Palm oil produces two types of oil: Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO). Indonesia’s CPO production reaches 49 million tonnes in 2020. This production produces around 35-40% of waste. Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) is extracted into Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel Oil (PKO), which produce waste such as Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME), Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), Mesocarp Fiber (MF), Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) and Palm Kernel Meal (PKM). Palm oil production increases every year, which causes the waste from the industry to increase too. Palm oil waste still has chemical content that is good enough to be utilized. The study was conducted online at Google Scholar and PubMed by reviewing literature from domestic and international journals and research reports. The results showed that each waste contains different content, including carbohydrates, protein, fat, lignin, cellulose, mannose, and others. This waste has also been used in various fields. This waste has also been used for livestock, fuel, and raw materials.

SUMMARYOil palm rachis length was determined on primordia dissected from palms planted at four densities. It started to increase rapidly in leaf–10, that is, about ten leaves younger than the spear leaf in all density treatments. The mean number of leaf primordia at the three higher palm densities was 47.7 compared with 51.5 at the lowest density of 56 palms ha-1. Some of the palms planted at the highest density were thinned to identify the stage at which the amount of light affected the rate of leaf opening. A sudden increment of light accelerated leaf production at both the rapid expansion stage and the preceding slow expansion stage. The greatest acceleration of leaf production began 24 months after thinning, probably because of the effect of the extra light on the rate of leaf initiation. The response of leaf production to thinning may apply to other related cultural practices.Desarrollo de hojas en la palma aceitera (Elaeis guineensis) y determination de la tasa de apertura de las hojas

<p class="A04-abstrak2"><span>The area of oil palm plantations is now reaching 14.7 million hectares, and it is an opportunity for Indonesia to develop an integrated beef cattle industry with the oil-palm integrated system. However, the development of this system is not yet massive. The problem among others is the plantation area owned by the smallholder farmers which is not sufficient for grazing area. To formulate concentrate feeds for the cattle, farmers need supports from palm oil processing companies for its raw materials. This paper is prepared as a literature review aimed at analyzing the prospects and constraints, legal aspects, and stakeholders' role in developing cattle-oil palm integration. This paper concludes that there is ample opportunity to develop an oil palm-cattle integration system. Furthermore, oil palm industry development requires legal aspects, the number of farmers and companies, and the organizations. A policy is needed to develop an oil palm-cattle integration system, coordinated by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs. The needed policies among others organizing smallholders involved in the integration system for easier access to technologies, extension, livestock health services, and access to feed raw materials such as palm kernel cake and sludge. Sustainability of oil palm-cattle integration efforts in the regions is needed to extend the status of current regulations regarding the integration system from Governor and Regency Regulations into Regional Regulations.</span></p>

The oil palm plantation can be found throughout West Africa and palm oil has contributed significantly towards the Nigerian exports. However, the palm oil industry in Nigeria was declining to 36.4% in 1969 and 13.2% in 1974 in spite of being the largest global exporting country at the beginning of 20th Century. Since then, domestic consumption has increased, slow growth in palm oil production and low output was delivered. The equipment of production is considered obsolete, the plantations are aging, the technology access is very little, and financing is insufficient. This indicated a threat and inefficiency of Nigerian palm oil industries to cater for the needs of people regardless of the increase in oil demand locally as the  palm kernel oil is becoming important food and raw materials. Due to this problem, Nigeria remained to receive palm oil from Malaysia even though the seedlings was originated from Nigeria. Other large importers include from Benin, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo. This issue has caused Palm oil production in Nigeria to be more expensive and not competitive if compared to other countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Hence, the objective of this paper explores the challenges facing palm oil industry in Nigeria using qualitative data through document and thematic analysis. The semi-structured interview was analysed by utilizing Atlas ti 8 software. The findings of the paper shows that there are challenges facing palm oil industry in Nigeria such as lack of good planting materials, poor funding, improper milling and lack of technology. From this, it is confirmed that there are numerous challenges facing palm oil industry in Nigeria which requires aids from the government from allocation of huge amount of its budget to agriculture and establish better policies for the palm oil industry that will attract more public and private investment.

The aim of this study was to determine the physical and mechanical properties of Cross laminated timber (CLT) made from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis. Jacq) stem waste combined with thinned platinum teak (Tectona grandis ) wood. CLT was made into two types, namely CLT type A (teak-palm-teak) and CLT type B (teak-teak-teak). The CLT was 150 cm in length and 20 cm in width, with variation of the thickness of 3,0 cm, 4,5 cm, and 6,0 cm, and the glue spread of 300 g/m². The results showed that CLT type B has better physical and mechanical properties than CLT type A. Generally, CLT made of lamina with a thickness of 4,5 cm showed the best performance of physical and mechanical properties. Platinum teak and palm oil stem waste have the potential to be used as a source of CLT raw materials because of the moisture content, flexural modulus (MOE), and fracture modulus (MOR) that meet the JAS 1152 standard.Keywords: Cross laminated timber, platinum teak, oil palm stem, physical properties, mechanical properties
