Abstract
The development of oil palm agribusiness is one of the steps needed as a development activity in the plantation sub-sector in order to revitalize the agricultural sector. The high interest of rural communities in the Riau region towards oil palm plantations makes Riau the largest palm oil producer in Indonesia. Based on data from the One Stop Integrated Investment Service Office (DPM PTSP) of Riau, the area of oil palm plantations in Riau in 2018 was recorded at 2,424,545. Independent oil palm growers generally have various limitations both in terms of land availability, knowledge about cultivation and care, capital, including how to market their harvest or processing. With these limitations, it can be ascertained if the productivity of the garden is low. In addition, because it cannot process itself but must be sold to other parties, the small volume does not have a high bargaining power in front of traders/collectors. To avoid the negative effects of world change, the government issued a series of policies on the price of oil palm bunches which are expected to protect farmers. Government policy in determining the price of oil palm fruit bunches will affect the ability of oil palm farmers to produce.
