- Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia
Abstract
The global demand for crude palm oil (CPO) hascontinuously increased with enormous economic benefits forgovernments and producers. To maximize the benefits,government policies have aimed at increasing CPO productionusually through increasing the total harvested area (THA).However, increasing CPO production with the increase in THAresults in both land use and livelihood changes. Modeling thecomplex relationship that exists between oil palm productionand issues of land use and livelihoods changes holds the key tounderstanding their determinants and sustainability approach.At this stage, the conceptual framework was developed withtargets of formulating evidence based policies with bettereconomic, environmental and social outcomes using a 24yearshistoric data with the simultaneous equations modelingtechnique.
