Indonesia has recently become the largest palm oil producer worldwide. While much of the production in Indonesia comes from large- scale plantations, independently operating smallholders are increasing in importance and may domi- nate production in the future. In order to control the process of land use change, the micro level fac- tors influencing smallholder decisions need to be better understood. We use data from a survey of farm households in Sumatra and a duration model to analyze the patterns and dynamics of oil palm adoption among smallholders. Initially, smallholders were primarily involved in government-supported out-grower schemes, but since the mid-1990s independently operating oil palm farmers have become much more important. In addition to farm and household characteristics, village level factors determine oil palm adoption significantly. Independent smallholders adopt oil palm especially in those villages that also have contracts and out-grower schemes, leading to a regional path-dependency of former government policies."],["dc.format.extent","24"],["dc.identifier.ppn","81782426X"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108092"],["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.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 expansion; Land use change; Indonesia; Duration models"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_discussionpaperseries"],["dc.title","Oil palm expansion among smallholder farmers in Sumatra, Indonesia"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

While the expansion of oil palm in early stages was mainly driven by large private and public companies, it is expected that smallholders will outnumber large estates in the near future. For policy formulation it is hence important to better understand who these smallholders are and why they have started to cultivate oil palm. In this paper, we used a rich dataset collected in the province of Jambi, which is one of the most important production areas for oil palm, to analyse smallholders’ decision making by combining qualitative, quantitative, and experimental methods. We identified agricultural expertise, lacking flexibility in labour requirements, availability of seedlings, and investment costs as the major constraints for farmers to cultivate oil palm. Important reasons for oil palm cultivation are the higher returns to labour and the shorter immature phase of oil palm. We also showed that oil palm farmers are neither risk-averse nor risk-loving, rather, they appear to be risk-neutral."],["dc.format.extent","IV, 29"],["dc.identifier.gro","3147870"],["dc.identifier.ppn","824603850"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5200"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["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 | B | B10: Landschaftsbezogene Bewertung der ökologischen und sozioökonomischen Funktionen von Regenwald- Transformationssystemen in Sumatra (Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C01: Produktivität, Marktzugang und internationale Anbindung von kleinbäuerlicher Kautschuk- und Palmölerzeugung in der Provinz Jambi"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C02: Soziale Transformationsprozesse und nachhaltige Ressourcennutzung im ländlichen Jambi"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C03: Culture-Specific Human Interaction with Tropical Lowland Rainforests in Transformation in Jambi, Sumatra"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C04: Mitigating trade-offs between economic and ecological functions and services through certification"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | C | C06: Zum Verständnis des Zertifizierungs- und Wiederanpflanzungsverhaltens indonesischer Kleinbauern"],["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.ispartofseries","EFForTS Discussion Paper Series;11"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Johann-Friedrich-Blumenbach-Institut für Zoologie und Anthropologie"],["dc.rights","CC BY-ND 4.0"],["dc.subject","Smallholders crop choice oil palm rubber Indonesia"],["dc.subject.gro","Smallholders; crop choice; oil palm; rubber; Indonesia"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_discussionpaperseries"],["dc.title","Rubber vs. oil palm: an analysis of factors influencing smallholders’ crop choice in Jambi, Indonesia"],["dc.type","working_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","unpublished"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
