In the Indonesia’s oil palm industry, the main current constraints are scarce development capital, inefficient deployment of labour and other resources, poor technological levels, and problems over land acquisition and security. It nonetheless sees a slow improvement occurring, where this could be accelerated by government support with credit and extension, especially for smallholdings. Given such help, the industry should renew its expansion and become the world’s leading oil palm producer.
