Unpacks People’s Palm Oil Replanting as a finance-plus-field-support model that combines grants, Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR) credit, accredited seedlings, and cooperative batching tied to ISPO to raise yields without expansion.
This approach is particularly relevant in a country where palm oil often drives deforestation. By increasing yields on existing land, the model reduces the incentive for forest conversion. Moreover, linking to ISPO ensures a sustainability standard. But challenges remain: the upfront cost of replanting is high; credit risk must be managed carefully; and smallholders may lack bargaining power in cooperatives, so governance and capacity strengthening are vital.
