Characterising Oil Palm Production in Indonesia and Malaysia

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

n this chapter, we analyse the particular agro-economic features of oil palm as a commodity that have influenced its role in the rural economies of Indonesia and Malaysia. We then examine the ways in which “land”, “labour”, and “capital” have been mobilised within the oil palm complex and their incorporation in distinctly different modes of production, with different outcomes for rural livelihoods. Despite historical differences in policy emphasis and intent between the two countries, we find a convergence in the trajectories observed that give clues to the underlying processes at work.
