Data from a structured village survey are used to analyze the role of soci- oeconomic and policy factors. Oil palm is partly grown on large plantations, but smallholders are also involved significantly. We find that, in spite of significant oil palm expansion, rubber remains the dominant crop. Most of the oil palm growth takes place on previous fallow and rubber land. Oil palm has not been a major driver of deforestation. Much of the forest in Ja m- bi was cleared more than 20 years ago, and rubber was an established cash crop long before the oil palm boom started. However, oil palm growth occurs in locations with ongoing log- ging activities, so indirect effects on deforestation are likely. The government’s transmigra- tion program of the 1980s and 1990s was instrumental for the start and spread of oil palm in Jambi. Some autochthonous villages have adopted oil palm, but adoption started later com- pared to migrants from Java, and it happens at a slower pace. While the transmigration pro- gram benefited many of the participating families, it has contributed to the risk of unequal so- cioeconomic developments in Jambi."],["dc.format.extent","III, 20"],["dc.identifier.ppn","789836130"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108089"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","SFB 990, University of Göttingen; GOEDOC, Dokumenten- und Publikationsserver der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen"],["dc.publisher.place","Göttingen"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C08: Design effektiver Politikinstrumente zur Förderung nachhaltiger Landnutzung"],["dc.relation.crisseries","EFForTS Discussion Paper Series"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institut für Zoologie und Anthropologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY-ND 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","Oil palm, land-use change, deforestation, socioeconomic factors, Indonesia, gov- ernment policy"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_discussionpaperseries"],["dc.title","Oil palm boom and land-use dynamics in Indonesia"],["dc.title.subtitle","The role of policies and socioeconomic factors"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In particular within the oil palm sector, such community-company \\‘partnerships\\’ are commonplace. Yet, empirical evidence of the suc- cess of these formations remains mixed. In this paper, we investigate the effects of contract farming on economic development at the village level. At the same time, little is understood regarding the fac- tors that determine that cohorts of farmers sign a contract. Analyzing data from a structured village survey, we find a positive effect of contract farming schemes on economic development, in particular on village wealth. The share of farmers under contract and contract length play a significant role in this. Regarding contract adoption, we observe that contract participation is conditional on the visit of a private investor. Controlling for this conditionality, we find that villages that have no access to elec- tricity are more likely to participate in community-company partnerships. Finally, considering the gov- ernment\\’s intention to spur rural economic development through contract farming and the positive wealth effects associated with it, we find that contract farming has not been entirely equally accessible; however, we do not find evidence that the rural poor were excluded."],["dc.format.extent","IV, 27"],["dc.identifier.ppn","82392873X"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108094"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","SFB 990, University of Göttingen; GOEDOC, Dokumenten- und Publikationsserver der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen"],["dc.publisher.place","Göttingen"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C07: Einflussfaktoren von Landnutzungswandel und sozioökonomische Auswirkungen für ländliche Haushalte"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C08: Design effektiver Politikinstrumente zur Förderung nachhaltiger Landnutzung"],["dc.relation.crisseries","EFForTS Discussion Paper Series"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institut für Zoologie und Anthropologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY-ND 4.0"],["dc.subject.gro","Oil palm; contract farming; rural development; Indonesia"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_discussionpaperseries"],["dc.title","Oil Palm Boom, Contract Farming, and Village Development"],["dc.title.subtitle","Evidence from Indonesia"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
