Speaking at a press conference during preparations for the 22nd Indonesian Palm Oil Conference (IPOC 2026) in Jakarta on Friday (9/10/2026), Suryanto Bun, Head of GAPKI’s PSR Acceleration Division, revealed that total replanted area over the past decade reached approximately 428,000 hectares. "While we acknowledge minor administrative improvements and reduced paperwork requirements, fulfilling field compliance remains a persistent hurdle," Suryanto told . Forestry Overlaps and Legal Certainty A major obstacle facing smallholders is securing land legality documentation. The process is particularly complex for smallholder farms operating near or overlapping with designated state forest areas (kawasan hutan), creating administrative deadlocks that block access to BPDPKS replanting subsidies. To overcome these barriers, GAPKI advocates for strengthened plasma-company partnership models. Corporate partners can assist smallholders with administrative compliance, technical mapping, and formal application submissions. Furthermore, local farmer cooperatives (koperasi) are urged to step up as primary aggregators to streamline documentation, coordinate field operations, and bridge technical gaps between smallholders, government agencies, and financial institutions. Accelerated replanting execution, GAPKI stresses, requires hands-on technical mentoring alongside regulatory simplification.
