Palm oil plantations

This issue if not resolved can lead to the failure of the MNEs’ investment and may affect FDI flows into Indonesia. The main objective of this paper is to examine the case law litigation and related information elicited from qualitative sources and interviews with relevant persons involving land issues in carrying out palm oil plantation ventures in Indonesia by Sime Darby Plantation Berhad (‘SDPB’) (being a subsidiary of Sime Darby Berhad). Qualitative social and legal research methodologies were used in this writing.

Terrestrial ecosystems play a vital role in regulating greenhouse gas balance of crop production given the need to minimize the emissions associated with global warming and climate change. Such emissions can be minimized by growing perennial crops such as oil palm to enhance the buildup of terrestrial carbon pool. Carbon sequestration in a ten year old mature oil palm plantation was taken up for the study by destructive analysis.

Ganoderma species are important wood decaying fungi distributed throughout the world. They are diverse in the tropics affecting plantation crops such as coconut, arecanut and oil palm and they also affect ornamental, forest and avenue trees in tropical and temperate areas causing Basal Stem rot/Ganoderma wilt. Basal Stem Rot (BSR), also called Ganoderma wilt in coconut and foot rot in arecanut caused by the different species of Ganoderma is one of the most devastating diseases affecting production and productivity of palms.

Oil Palm is vertically growing perennial crop attains a height of about 20 to 30 meter with economic life of 35 years. It is planted on wider space and under good management it takes three years to utilize entire inter space. Since it is vertically growing perennial crop, there is ample scope for raising intercrops in oil palm plantations during the initial 3-4 years. Hence, attempt was made to suggest suitable intercrops in juvenile oil palm garden.

A study was carried out in an adult Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantation intercropped with cocoa (Theobroma cocoa) grown in sandy loam soil to study the effect of cropping system on above ground carbon sequestration. Non-destructive method for calculating standing biomass of oil palm and cocoa were used. Based on this biomass data carbon stock and CO2 sequestered from the system were estimated.

An investigation was conducted in oil palm sole crop and oil palm + cocoa cropping systems to study microbial diversity along with enzyme activities and understand soil carbon dynamics in oil palm based cropping system. Ten mature oil palm plantations (five each in oil palm sole crop and oil palm + cocoa) planted with Tenera hybrids with a spacing of 9 X 9 X 9 m in a triangular system were selected for the study. Cocoa var. Forastero is cultivated as an intercrop in oil palm plantations at 4.5 X 4.5 m spacing.

A field experiment was carried out on eighteen years old oil palm plantation at ICARIndian Institute of Oil Palm Research, Pedavegi, Andhra Pradesh with different methods and levels of irrigation water using crop factors to find out their influence on the photosynthetic pigments in relation to yield of fresh fruit bunches. Significantly highest chlorophyll-a (2.38 mgg-1 ), total chlorophyll (2.73 mgg-1 ) were found with drip method of irrigation.

Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (VAM) are obligate mutualistic symbionts in plant roots cortex and help the absorption of nutrients needed for plants to growth. The research was aimed calculate the spores of VAM and identification to the genus of level. This research has been carried out laboratory analysis in February 2015 to June 2015. The research was conducted by field survey. The purposive sampling area was an oil palm plantation field difference in plant ages.

Maize has been cultivated in Ghana for several hundred years. After being introduced in the late 16th century, it soon established itself as an important food crop in the southern part of the country. Very early on, maize also attracted the attention of commercial farmers, although it never achieved the economic importance of traditional plantation crops, such as oil palm and cocoa.

A well-known and important exception to the superior performance of owner-operated units of production over those relying on wage labor is in plantation crops, where economies of scale in processing and the need for close coordination of production and processing can make plantations more efficient. The need for quick processing of some harvest products to avoid deterioration, often within 24-48 hours, requires tight adherence to delivery and harvesting schedules and transmits economies of scale in processing to the production stage (Binswanger and Rosenzweig 1986).

The perennial crop sector in Southeast Asia illustrates the plantation model of large-scale farming. Malaysia and Indonesia produce nearly 90 percent of the world’s palm oil, production of which has expanded rapidly in response to growing global demand for edible oils and strong government support. In Indonesia, planted area more than doubled from about 2.9 million ha in 1997 to 6.3 million ha in 2007. In contrast to annual crops, oil palm is highly labor intensive and the industry is estimated to have created an estimated 1.7 to 3 million jobs.

While the rubber trees are immature, selected legume cover crops such as Pueraria phoseoloides, Culopogonium mucunoides and Centrosemu pubescens may be grown on rubber plantations. Intercropping can be carried out with coconut trees and banana plants within the rubber plantation. Sometimes banana alone is used as an intercrop. Intercropping can also be carried out with rice, longgong, mangosteen, satow, bamboo, jampada, riang, durian, pineapple, coffee trees, neem and hot pepper (ITTO, 2000).

The current production of rubber is 2.87 million tonnes per year and export is 2.57 million tonnes per year. The remnants are domestically used. The important trading partners of Thailand are China, Japan, Malaysia and USA. The rubber price during 1999-2003 gradually decreased from 1998 until 2000. The government had to interfere in the mid-2000. However, the rubber price has been increasing since the end of 2000 due to the world demand and expansion of world economy. The rubber plantation industry is dominated by the small holding sector accounting for 95% in terms of area.

Palm oil production in Cameroon is expected to rise by about 6% per annum from 1980 to 1985 to 138 000 t and consumption by 4.5% per annum over the same period to 106 000 t , leaving 32 000 t available for export. By 1985 CAMDEV should be producing about 26 000 t. Future consumption in Cameroon is expected to grow at about 4.5% per annum and given the present per caput consumption of about 10 kg per annum, this growth must continue well into the future before the saturation level of about 30 kg...

Subsistence agriculture to produce cassava, plantains, cocoyams, yams, maize, ground- nuts, etc, mainly for home consumption, is the main activity on the plain. Small quantities of cocoa (for sale) and coffee (mainly for home consumption) are produced. There are smallholder cooperative associations at lloani and Mbongo villages which pro- duce palm oil , from two small Stork mills of 5t FFB per day capacity. The oi l is sold on the local market through the Catholic Mission at Mbonge. Members earn about 110 000 CFAF a year from palm oil .

This has given rise to concerns about oil palm expansion contributing to the loss of biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, and social conflict due to a fail- ure to recognize local land rights.With expected further increases in palm oil demand, directing plantation expansion away from standing forest toward degraded grassland areas will be important. Estimates suggest that the area available under these degraded areas is at least double what is needed to satisfy increased demand over the next decade.
