PTP.Nusantara-IV (Persero) especially in the Marjandi Gardens located in Panombean Panei, Simalungun Regency is an Indonesian state-owned enterprise engaged in the plantation sector, one of which is Oil Palm. Among the many oil palm plantation blocks, there are productive and unproductive oil palm plant blocks. Unproductive blocks affect the profits of Marjandi Gardens in the production of Palm Oil. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research to find out the most productive and unproductive blocks of Oil Palm Plants. This study was conducted in Afdeling III Marjandi Gardens with oil palm planting years 2005 and 2006. The method used was the K-Means Clustering method, the blocks were divided into 2 Clusters namely High Clusters for the most productive blocks and Low Clusters for unproductive blocks. Based on the research that has been done, the results obtained are the number of 14 blocks of the most productive oil palm plants, namely (BM, BN, BO, BP, BR, BY, CE, CF, CK, CY, DE, DF, DG) and 26 blocks of plants Oil palm is unproductive, namely (BL, BQ, BS, BW, BX, BZ, CA, CB, CD, CG, CL, CM, CN, CO, CP, CQ, CR, CS, CW, CX, DA, DB, DC, DD). It is expected that the company can develop the most productive oil palm block so that the quality of the oil palm plant blocks is always maintained. As for the unproductive oil palm plant blocks, the company can make repairs to produce a productive block of oil palm in the future.

Background: The palm oil industry is the largest contributor to global production of oils and fats. Indonesia and Malaysia are the largest producers of palm oil. More than a million workers are employed in this industry, yet there is a lack of information on their occupational health and safety. Objective: To identify and summarize occupational hazards among oil palm plantation workers. Methods: A search was carried out in June 2018 in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Ovid. Relevant publications were identified by a systematic search of four databases and relevant journals. Publications were included if they examined occupational hazards in oil palm plantation workers. Results: 941 publications were identified; of these, 25 studies were found eligible to be included in the final review. Of the 25 studies examined, 19 were conducted in Malaysia, 2 in Costa Rica, and one each in Ghana, Indonesia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, and Cameroon. Oil palm plantation workers were found to be at risk of musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, psychosocial disorders, and infectious diseases such as malaria and leptospirosis. In addition, they have potential exposure to paraquat and other pesticides. Conclusion: In light of the potential of palm oil for use as a biofuel, this is an industry with strong growth potential. The workers are exposed to various occupational hazards. Further research and interventions are necessary to improve the working conditions of this already vast and growing workforce.

This study aims to study the sustainability of oil palm cultivation among smallholders in Lahad Datu on The Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification. A total of 300 oil palm smallholders in Lahad Datu, Sabah were interviewed using a set of questionnaires. The results of the analysis of this study show that oil palm smallholders have awareness of MSPO certification. Although they are aware of the need to have MSPO certification, they do not have such certification. Awareness of having MSPO certification can improve the quality of the environment while being able to increase the production efficiency and productivity of their oil palm plants. However, the management of the plantation by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) which is often undergoing changes and many application forms that need to be filled is the main reason why the oil palm smallholders do not get the MSPO certification. Strategic measures and awareness programs related to the importance of MSPO certification and related to oil palm cultivation need to be planned more widely by MPOB, in addition to introducing certification applications with a user-friendly, systematic, and innovative concept to attract more oil palm smallholders to obtain MSPO certification in line with the government’s efforts to optimize high-quality palm oil production in the future.

Abstract: In this study we described the diet of Hylaeamys megacephalus (G. Fisher, 1814) and investigated the degree of individual variation in the diet of this species among the Amazon Forest and the oil palm plantation. We analyzed the stomach contents of 36 individuals, of whom 11 were collected in the forest and 25 captured in the palm oil palm plantation. The H. megacephalus diet consisted of 18 food items, of which 12 were animal composition and eight were vegetable composition. The niche amplitude of the species was narrower in the forest area (Baforest = 0.013) compared to the palm tree plantation area (Bapalm = 0.478). This shows that individuals have greater niche overlap in forest areas, while in the plantation areas the animals expand their food niche. In addition, the values of the mean of the individual diet in relation to the diet of the entire population were lower in the palm oil palm plantation environment (ISpalm = 0.164) than in the Forest environment (ISforest = 0.357), indicating a high specialization in the palm oil plantation. These results indicate a population mechanism to reduce intraspecific competition in response to scarce resources.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop strategies for potential environmental impacts as a result of institutional arrangement and development of oil palm downstream industry both regionally and nationally. Design/methodology/approach The research location is in the areas potential for oil palm plantation development, either by plasma through BUMN and BUMS or self-supporting by the society. The research location will be divided into two parts, namely, the land area and the coastal area. The Riau land areas are Regency of Kampar, Rokan Hulu, and Kuantan Singingi, while Riau coastal areas are Regency of Pelalawan, Siak, Bengkalis, Indragiri Hilir, Indragiri Hulu and Rokan Hilir. Both research areas have different productivity due to the different soil fertility levels. The sustainability level of oil palm plantation from the socio-economic and environmental aspects is analyzed using the multi-dimensional scaling approach modified into Rapid Appraisal-Index Sustainability of Palm Oil Management. Findings In Riau Province, the development of oil palm is quite rapid. This is reasonable for several reasons which include the following supporting factors: the geographical condition of the Riau region is very supportive; the high demand for palm oil derivative products; the existence of market guarantee for oil palm farmers; the higher income oil palm generates than other plantation crops; and the relatively flat area. Most of the problems faced by oil palm farmers are the use of less good seeds, the length of the fruit laying at the location of the plantation, the inadequate production road, the relatively far distance to palm oil mill (POM) (National Agency of Drug and Food Control), the tendency of determining the unilateral revenue of the POM, the collectively measurement of revenue and the general revenue information. The development of oil palm plantations has created an entrepreneurial capability for farmers who are able to capture business opportunities in the agricultural sector, especially the plantation sub-sector. Originality/value The originality of this paper shows the comprehensively control strategy, potential of environmental impact and palm oil plantation. The method used for data collection was rapid rural appraisal method because accurate information is needed in a limited time as it relates to decisions related to village development that must be taken immediately. The study area was conducted in Riau Province because Riau Province is one of the biggest palm oil producers in Indonesia. The study sites will be divided into two, namely, the land area and the coastal area.

Plant intercropping that interplanted with young palm oil plantation indicated that there was change on ecosystem balance which resulted diversity alteration of insect as bio indicator area. The objective of the research was to obtain information on diversity of insect related to its intercropping system interplanted with young palm oil plantation. The research was conducted from December 2015 to February 2016 at privately-owned oil palm plantation, Kualu district, Kampar regency, Riau province. Descriptive methods by range survey on corn monoculture, soybean monoculture, bera, between corn and soybean intercropping in young palm oil area were used as experimental methods. Insect sampling was conducted by using pitfall trap, sweeping net and hand collection at 16 research units. The result showed that there were ten different insect ordo consisted of 50 families in all intercropping system sampled in this study. Diversity index (H’) reached as high as 3.07 with the best average (E=0.07) that was observed in soybean monoculture. Corn - soybean intercropping posessed the highest point of insect dominance (0.34), which is mean that there was only one kind of insect dominated on the community. The utilization of soybean monoculture system interplanted in young palm oil plantation is best to be used as a reference of ecological indicator on environment utilization, due to the reason that the existence of pest is balanced by the predator.
