Abstract

Indonesia is the largest oil palm producing country in the world. The increases of plantation area and oil palm production in Indonesia are feared to have negative impacts on environment. As an effort to overcome it, Indonesian Government made a certification called Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO). This research was carried out in plasma plantations in Siak Regency, Riau, Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to determine characteristics of smallholders and application of sustainability aspects in facing ISPO standardization. Results showed that average sample of smallholders who was men, in their productive age, had received 9-year compulsory education program, and had more than 10-year farming experience. Application of economic aspect is in "Very Good" category with a score of 4.80. Application of economic aspect is in "Fairly Good" category with a score of 2.31. The application of environmental aspect is in "Fairly Good" category with a score of 2.77. The application of aspects is not maximal because there are several indicators of ISPO that have not been implemented by the smallholders.

印尼油棕榈小农户的可持续发展实践

印度尼西亚是世界上最大的油棕生产国。印尼种植面积和油棕榈产量的增加恐怕会对环境产生负面影响。为了克服这一问题，印尼政府颁发了一项名为“印尼可持续棕榈油”的证书。这项研究是在印度尼西亚廖内岛Siak Regency的等离子体种植园中进行的。本研究的目的是确定小农户的特点以及在面临ISPO标准化时可持续性方面的应用。结果显示，处于生产年龄的男性小农户的平均样本接受了9年的义务教育，并有10年以上的农业经验。经济方面的应用属于“非常好”类别，得分为4.80。经济方面的应用属于“尚可”类别，得分为2.31。环境方面的应用属于“尚可”类别，得分为2.77。各方面的应用并不是最大限度的，因为有几个ISPO指标尚未由小农户实施。
