Menuju Rantai Pasok Kelapa Sawit yang Lebih Berkelanjutan dan Efisien di Berau, Kalimantan Timur

The report finds that Berau Regency can meet its palm oil production goals and fill its mill capacities by increasing productivity on existing land rather than expanding into forests. While company plantations operate efficiently, smallholders face significant barriers, including lack of land certificates (only 28% have them), limited access to finance, and poor integration into the supply chain, often forcing them to sell to distant mills or intermediaries. Additionally, Berau lacks CPO refineries, meaning most crude palm oil is exported to other provinces or Malaysia, limiting local value addition.

• Berau Regency can meet its optimal palm oil production targets and satisfy existing mill capacities without significant land expansion. In 2016, the area of palm oil plantations in Berau was 120,000 hectares, contributing 11% of East Kalimantan's total Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) production (1.2 million tons). While the combined processing capacity of the seven operating mills is 2.8 million tons of FFB per year, they were only operating at 44% capacity in 2017.
• Current production in Berau is below its potential due to the age of the plants (many are between four and nine years, while peak productivity starts after seven years) and the fact that only about 41% of company-owned concession areas have been planted. Projections suggest that by applying good agricultural practices and achieving 90% optimal productivity, Berau could produce over 2.8 million tons of FFB per year by 2021, eliminating the need for further expansion into forests.
