Abstract

Palm oil is the world’s most used edible oil, and is present in a wide range of products from food to detergents, cosmetics and biofuels. The oil produced in South East Asia is mostly exported to meet the global demand. Indonesia is the world’s leader in oil palm production. Most of the production originates from large scale agro-industries. However about 40% of the oil palm area is cultivated by smallholders. There is a gap between agro-industries and smallholders. Replanting is a key step to close yield gap and implement new development models. The lack of knowledge from smallholders about the proper replanting model is one of the problems faced by smallholders. 1). Understanding the diversity of replanting practices in oil palm smallholders, 2). Simulation the performance of replanting scenario in oil palm smallholder farmers, 3). Co-constructing agroecological replanting models with oil palm smallholders. This research carried out at Ophir West Sumatra and in Jambi. The farmers are sampled in this study are different for each objective, for understanding the diversity of replanting practices, the sampling method is carried out using a purposive sampling method using descriptive analysis, for simulation the performance of replanting scenario, sampling of farmers is taken based on each category that has been previously classified, and from each category, four farmers are taken randomly as samples and using Olympe analysis, for co-constructing agroecological replanting models with oil palm smallholders, determining the sample of farmers as participants in the workshop is carried out by random sampling and for the data analysis using two approaches are commonly used in cropping system design that are modelling approach and participative approach. The results of this study are: 1). the diversity of replanting practices is depended on the financial stage and land area, 2). the current surface area of farms is a reliable indicator of their ability to bear the cost of replanting, 3). the larger of the farms, they will have more of the resources necessary to renew their surface area. Combining the result from understanding the diversity of replanting practices and the simulation the performance of replanting scenario is the basic information for the smallholder in the participatory approach. Looking at the different case studies and the result models, it can be concluded that there is a link between the financial situation and the replanting model they choose. From co-constructing replanting model, it confirms that farmers who have little capital will tend to choose the replanting poisoning, because it is cheaper in terms of financing. Meanwhile, farmers with large capital will always carry out clear cutting. The result of new models from co-constructing replanting model on the participatory approach workshop that have not been applied by farmers before is the clear cutting (Chainsaw) + Compost + Intercropping. Keywords: Oil Palm, Replanting, Smallholders.
