  • Should smallholders be able to improve oil palm production?
  • Oil palm production among smallholders is typically seen as inefficient, in comparison with large companies. Improving smallholders' efficiency could reduce this gap, and increase the equity of the distribution of benefits from oil palm beyond large multinational agri-businesses.
  • How does oil palm production affect biodiversity?
  • Oil palm production has led to large losses of valuable habitats for tropical biodiversity. Sparing of land for nature could in theory be attained if oil palm yields increased. The efficiency of oil palm smallholders is below its potential capacity, but the factors determining efficiency are poorly understood.
  • How can smallholder oil palm production increase productivity in Indonesia?
  • Adopting industry-supported scheme management practices, use of high-quality seeds and higher pruning and weeding rates were found to improve efficiency. Smallholder oil palm production intensification in Indonesia has the capacity to increase production by 26%, an equivalent of 1.75 million hectares of land. 1. Introduction
  • Do smallholder oil palm yields increase after BMP implementation?
  • FFB yields increased two or three years after BMP implementation by 3.2 to 5.7 t FFB ha −1 across the studies when compared with the reference farmer management. Much less effort has been devoted to improving yield in smallholder oil palm fields. Only two studies have aimed to increase smallholder yields.
  • Are there yield gaps in oil palm plantations?
  • Conclusions Yield gaps in oil palm plantations are large, and there is considerable scope for improving yields and environmental performance. Yield responses to waterlogging, drainage, micronutrient fertilisers, and biotic stresses in mature plantations are poorly understood.
  • Do better management practices increase oil palm yields?
  • There is a large gap between attainable yields and smallholders oil palm yields. We evaluated impact of better management practices (BMP) on yield, profit, and labor. The BMPs led to 40 % and 20 % higher yield and profit, with same labor requirement. Yield increase was larger at sites with low initial yield and higher BMP adoption.
