Palm Oil Plantations in Indonesia
According to the Indonesian Palm Oil Statistics published by the Central Bureau of Statistics, the number of palm oil plantations in Indonesia has increased significantly since 2018. This growth has been influenced in part by the expansion of administrative coverage among palm oil companies.
Since 2019, the number of oil palm plantations in Indonesia has continued to grow, although the rate of increase has been more stable compared to previous years. Currently, the total plantation area is estimated at 14.62 million hectares, spread across 26 provinces. Riau Province remains the largest contributor to national palm oil production.
Why Does the Area of Palm Oil Plantations Continue to Grow?
Indonesia’s tropical climate and suitable land conditions make it an ideal environment for oil palm cultivation. Palm oil is a highly profitable crop, and the economic benefits from plantation operations have encouraged continuous expansion. As a result, Indonesia has become one of the world’s leading countries in both palm oil plantation area and production volume.
Palm Oil Plantation Business Status in Indonesia
According to the same statistical catalog, oil palm plantation business status in Indonesia is classified into three main categories:
1. State-Owned Large Plantations
These plantations are owned and operated commercially by legally registered, state-owned companies. They are classified as large-scale operations and play a significant role in the national palm oil industry.
2. Private Large Plantations
Similar to State-Owned Large Plantations, Private Large Plantations are also managed commercially by legally registered companies. However, these plantations are owned by private domestic or foreign entities that hold official plantation business permits.
3. Smallholder Plantations
Smallholder Plantations are typically managed by individual farmers or local communities. These plantations are not operated by formally registered companies and are categorized as household-level or small-scale plantation businesses.
