The development of oil palm plantations in East Kalimantan can encourage the improvement of the regional economy and the people's economy.  The interest of farmers to cultivate oil palm plantations is quite large, however, the production results are not in line with expectations.  The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in productivity and income between independent smallholders, plasma, and large private companies. This research is a qualitative descriptive study referring to quantitative and comparative studies.  It was conducted in 5 districts namely, Kutai Kartanegara, Kutai Timur, Penajam Paser Utara, Paser, and Berau in the largest oil palm plantation area in East Kalimantan. The results showed that (1) the productivity of oil palm plantations on large private- and plasma- plantations continued to increase until the age of more than 10 years, while in smallholder self-help plantations the highest productivity was at the age of 9 years, after that there was a decrease in productivity; and (2) the income of large private plantations and plasma plantations continues to increase until the age of the plant is > 10 years, while in smallholder plantations the highest income occurs at the age of 9 years.

Land Exploitation

The market demand for oil palm commodities does make the plantation business a very profitable endeavor. The high demand led to the massive clearing of oil palm plantations in East Kalimantan that resulted in land exploitation. In addition, the concept of poverty alleviation by the government in East Kalimantan by relying on employment from palm oil plantations then added a new problem that is deforestation and changes in the local people's system to be discussed in this journal. This research uses qualitative descriptive. The result in the Get is 1.) The job opening brought about a new problem of community economic vulnerability due to an error in understanding the concept of poverty and the existence of fundamental source of blindness. 2.) East Kalimantan Region is only a land that is not followed by access to education and health and the assurance of a decent life for the company. 3.) The change of the living system depends only on one commodity of oil palm 4.) The exploitation of this land has an ongoing impact on deforestation in East Kalimantan, which is detrimental to the existence of diversity of plants, animals and local communities.

Latar Belakang: Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia pada tahun 2006 memperkirakan 1-5 juta kasus keracunan pestisida setiap tahun pada pekerja pertanian dengan kematian mencapai 220.000 korban. Sekitar 80% keracunan pestisida dilaporkan di negara-negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Pada 10 tahun terakhir, luas perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Timur meningkat sebesar 7,7%. Pada tahun 2017 perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Timur mencapai 1,2 juta ha dengan jumlah pekerja mencapai 234 ribu orang. Hingga saat ini belum pernah ada kajian dampak paparan pestisida terhadap gangguan kesehatan dengan indikator kadar cholinesterase. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis faktor yang berhubungan dengan tingkat keracunan penyemprot perkebunan kelapa sawit yang mengaplikasikan herbisida paraquat.Metode: Penelitian cross-sectionaldengan metoda sampling acak sederhana telah dilakukan pada 326 penyemprot dari 10 perkebunan kelapa sawit yang menggunakan herbisida paraquat, untuk mengidentifikasi prevalensi keracunan dan faktor risikonya. Tingkat keracunan pestisida diukur berdasarkan kadar enzim cholinesterase darah menggunakan Tintometer kit. Usia, masa kerja, dan area penyemprotan per hari dikumpulkan dengan wawancara langsung. Data dianalisis menggunakan Uji Spearman.Hasil:Penyemprot herbisida sebagian besar berusia >26-34 tahun (31,9%), mempunyai masa kerja < 5 tahun (76,1%), menyemprot area seluas < 4 ha per hari (84%). Toksisitas ringan dialami oleh 29 orang penyemprot (8,9%). Keracunan ringan herbisida tersebut berkorelasi signifikan dengan usia (p=0,000) dan area penyemprotan per hari (p=0,014).Kesimpulan: Prevalensi keracunan paraquat di kalangan pekerja penyemprot herbisida di perkebunan kelapa sawit relatif rendah. Penggunaan herbisida dengan dosis yang lebih rendah dan pengurangan area semprot menjadi faktor penting untuk dipertimbangkan dalam usaha pencegahan keracunan herbisida yang lebih buruk.ABSTRACTBackground: In 2006, World Health Organization estimates a number of 1-5 million cases of pesticide poisoning per year in agricultural workers with deaths reaching of 220,000 casualties. About 80% of pesticide poisoning was reported in developing countries, including Indonesia. In the last ten years, palm oil plantation area in East Kalimantan increased at 7.7%. In 2017, palm oil plantation covered an area of 1,2 billion ha with 234.000 workers. Until now, there is no study on pesticide exposure on health disorder with indicator using cholinesterase level.Methods: A cross-sectional study has been conducted using simple random sampling on 326 sprayers from 10 oil palm plantations using paraquat herbicide to identify herbicide poisoning prevalence, and its risk factor. The pesticide poisoning rate was measured based on blood cholinesterase enzyme level using a Tintometer kit. Age, working period, and spraying area per day were collected by direct interview. Data were analysed by Spearman test.Result: The most sprayer workers was at age of > 26-34 years (31.9%), having working experience <5 years (76.1%), implementing a spray area per day of <4 ha (84%). A mild toxicity was experienced by 29 sprayers (8.9%). The prevalence of paraquat herbicide was correlated significantly with age (p=0.000) and spraying area per day (p=0.014).Conclusion: The prevalence of paraquat among herbicide sprayer at oil palm plantation was relative low. Application of herbicide with lower doses and reducing the spraying area are the necessary factors to be considered in order to prevent the herbicide poisoning become worst.

Abstract                      This study is about the economic potential offered by KONSAIN (Indonesian Santri Agribusiness Contact). KONSAIN was established to build funding sources for educational institutions, da'wah institutions and social institutions, for the sake of education, da'wah and social throughout Indonesia through the development of oil palm plantation started from East Kalimantan. This study will use a descriptive-analytical approach by analyzing the progress of the number of members, member types, and the origin of members. It is to see the potential for future development and the extent to which it will survive. This study also seeks to see its endurance from the legal side as an institution. From this study it can be concluded that the growth in the number of members fluctuates, not constantly rising or falling. The origin of the members also spread throughout Indonesia but the majority came from East Kalimantan and East Java. The obstacle is the number of fraudulent investments in stocks, capital, and the time of division of SHU which is considered too long. Abstrak             Kajian ini adalah tentang potensi ekonomi yang ditawarkan oleh KONSAIN (Kontak Santri Agribisnis Indonesia). KONSAIN didirikan untuk membangun sumber dana bagi lembaga pendidikan, lembaga dakwah dan lembaga sosial, untuk kepentingan pendidikan, dakwah dan sosial se Indonesia melalui pembangunan kebun kelapa sawit yang dimulai dari Kalimantan Timur. Kajian ini akan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif-analisis dengan menganalisa perkembangan jumlah anggota, jenis anggota, dan asal anggota. Hal itu untuk melihat potensi perkembangannya di masa depan dan sejauh mana akan bertahan. Kajian ini juga mencoba melihat ketahanannya dari sisi hukum sebagai sebuah institusi. Dari kajian ini bisa disimpulkan bahwa pertumbuhan jumlah anggota fluktuatif, tidak konstan naik atao turun. Asal anggota juga menyebar di seluruh Indonesia tetapi mayoritas berasal dari Kaltim dan Jatim. Hambatannya adalah banyaknya penipuan penanaman saham, modal, dan masa pembagian SHU yang dianggap lama.

<p>The productivity and utilization of feed from oil palm plantation in East Kalimantan is still not optimal. One of the strategy to overcome this problem is through the implementation of palm-cow integration system, which providing organic fertilizer. The implementation of the system is still very limited. This study aims to estimate the potential of oil palm plantations in providing of livestock feed, to identify problems, and to develop strategies for implementing oil palm-cow integrated system. The research was conducted in Paser and North Paser Penajam district in East Kalimantan Province. Data collection was conducted in 2017. The forcasting used trend analysis, the problem mapping was done by rank analysis, and the strategy formulate by descriptive approach. Based on the estimation it is known that the area of Production Plant area tend to increase and shows the available feeding ability to support the development of palm-cow integration system. In 2019 it was estimated that debris of palm frouds was 384.8 thousand tons and 41,6 thousand tons of dried leaves. This number will continue to increase 2.1 times by 2028. Utilization product from palm oil estate is still faced with various obstacles. Financing becomes a major problem in the development of cow-palm integration. In addition, the problems encountered related to the availability of land, the loss risk of livestock, and changes the culture in farming system. Strategies need to be formulated related to regulation, support facilities, and technical assistance. In terms of providing facilities and assistance, it is necessary to provide communal livestock facilities as well as assistance in developing livestock business and utilization of oil palm plantation waste.</p><p>Keywords: oil palm, integrated farming, cow, animal feed</p><p> </p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p>Produktivitas dan pemanfaatan pakan yang berasal dari limbah kebun kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Timur belum optimal.

The oil palm plantation industry in Indonesia is faced with a strong view which suggests that the development of oil palm plantations in Indonesia has an impact on environmental damage. One effort currently made by the Indonesian government to ensure the sustainability of the development of the palm oil industry is to create a sustainability standard called The Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) which is mandatory. ISPO is a "guidance" for sustainable palm oil development, as well as a commitment to the implementation of various relevant laws and regulations in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine the value of the ability of oil palm plantation companies in an area to meet the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) standards and identify the problems faced in achieving these standards. This research was conducted in the province of East Kalimantan in the period June 2012-May 2013. Evaluation of the company's ability to achieve the ISPO standard was carried out by the audit method, the results of the assessment of all parameters set according to the Principles, Criteria and Indicators contained in the ISPO provisions were then assessed in units percent. The results showed that the ability of plantation companies in East Kalimantan to meet ISPO standards had reached 79.14%. the capacity can still be increased up to 100% by increasing efforts to meet indicators that are not yet in accordance with ISPO regulations, namely; 1). Licensing and estate management systems, 2). Implementation of technical guidelines for oil palm cultivation and processing. 3). Environmental management and monitoring. 4). Responsibility towards workers. 5). Social and community responsibility. The determining factor for the achievement of ISPO standards is the commitment of plantation companies as business actors supported by adequate human resources to realize sustainable plantation development as well as the role of the government as the determinant of regulations in overseeing established policies. The socialization and training on the principles and criteria of ISPO standards to plantation companies needs to be immediately and more intensively carried out by the government together with the ISPO commission as an effort to accelerate the application of these standards. Dissemination and training are also needed so that the obstacles in achieving the standards of Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil principles and criteria can be overcome, because these efforts are part of the success factors of ISPO implementation.

The expansion of oil palm plantations run very quickly within two decades in Indonesia. It provides a certain amount of risk against natural resources and the environment. These risks are mainly landscape changes, ecosystems changes and livelihood system change of the rural society.  In order to suppress risk, sustainability standards for plantation operation, needs to be implemented.  One of the instruments that ensure sustainability standards is ISPO (Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil).  However, its implementation is still limited to be voluntary.  In the near future, ISPO will be implemented as mandatory for all business model of oil palm plantation as well as for oil palm mills.  This research is about to find out the readiness of the oil palm smallholders to implement ISPO, in particular with regard to the parameters of land seeds legality, land legality, and knowledge on the management of the environment. This research was conducted in several villages in three locations, namely in Riau, Central Kalimantan and East Kalimantan Province. A number of respondents were withdrawn from each village and were selected using simple random sampling method. The results showed that land legality parameter, legality of the seed, and knowledge of oil palm smallholders about environmental management reveals unreadiness of the smallholder to carry out ISPO certification. Thus, the risk of a oil palm plantation expansion towards natural resources and the environment, will still be a great challenge in the future.

Sustainability Standards

The expansion of oil palm plantation has caused adverse impacts on the ecosystem. It has been associated with deforestation, biodiversity loss, disturbances to environmental services and livelihood change. The government of Indonesia has made an effort to control the negative effects by issuing relevant policies. One of the policies is Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO)’s sustainability standards to which large-scale plantations and smallholders are obliged to adhere. This study assesses the readiness of two types of smallholders, namely, the nucleus–plasma scheme and independent smallholders to adopt ISPO standards. Using a case study research approach in two oil palm plantation villages in East Kalimantan, the study found out a number of ISPO implementation challenges, grouped into structural and socio-cultural challenges, which make smallholders less ready to adhere to this mandatory policy. Coping with these challenges, this study proposed that land and business legality programs be expedited to strengthen property rights, and that training and education programs be intensified to enhance awareness, knowledge and capacity of smallholders to enable them to comply with sustainability standards.

Abstract Forest biodiversity is crucial for the survival of local communities in Mahakam Ulu District, East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, especially for the Punan Dayak, Bahau Bateq Hwang Lung Gelawang, and Bakumpai Dayak tribes who live in the Ratah Watershed area. For generations, local communities in the Ratah Watershed have had local wisdom to protect the resources in the forest around them. Unfortunately, various problems threaten the existence of forest biodiversity in the Ratah Watershed. The purpose of this study is to show the identification results of the potential, utilization, and management of biodiversity according to local communities in Mahakam Ulu District, East Kalimantan Province, and the threats faced. The data was obtained through interviews with key informants, FGDs, participatory mapping, and field observations with the people of Nyari Bungan Village, Long Gelawang Village, Danum Paroy Village, and Muara Ratah Village. The result of the study indicated that local communities in the Ratah Watershed find it more inconvenient to utilize forest resources because of the diminishing potential for biodiversity. The low level of welfare, unclear village boundaries, overlapping village areas with private companies (timber companies, oil palm) are the main problems. Conservation of biodiversity from forests in the Ratah Watershed requires the cooperation of various parties, especially in increasing community capacity in managing forest resources for better environment.
