paper discussed the livelihood impacts of oil palm development in Indonesia, based on
lessons learnt from Bungo district, in the province of Jambi. The various communitycompany
partnerships that structure the sector are reviewed and the difficulties raised by the
joint ventures schemes are discussed. The merits and drawbacks of oil palm as a smallholder
crop are then analysed, based on household socio-economic surveys conducted in 2007-10.
The main causes of conflicts between oil palm companies and communities are unclear land
tenure, and a recurrent lack of leadership in smallholders’ cooperatives. Under fair
partnerships between smallholders and companies, oil palm could become a smallholder
friendly crop. The land-use profitability analysis demonstrates the high returns that can be
generated by oil palm independent smallholdings, making it highly competitive with rubber,
and much more profitable than rice production.
