Oil palm is the largest source of vegetable oil producers in the world. Indonesia needs rich and diverse oil palm genetic resources as raw material for assembling new superior varieties. Molecular marking applications can be used to improve efficiency in analyzing kinship, gene mapping, and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in oil palm plants. this study aim is to analyze the genetic diversity of the origin of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) Germplasm of PT. Socfindo used marker SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats). The material analyzed was 14 oil palm origin stocks originating. The results showed that the DNA band size varied between 138 bp to 308 bp and the polymorphic percentage was 60%. The analysis was carried out using DARwin 6.0 software. Which showed that 14 samples divided into three main groups, namely the first group consisted of 8 samples (2 Lame, 4 Cameroon, 2 Yangambi), the second group consisted of 5 samples (4 Lame, 1 Cameroon) and one individual (Yangambi) in the group third. The resulting molecular diversity is 72.73% with distance coefficients ranging from 0.0-0.6.
