Oil palm is one of the commodities that has numerous benefits for the economy and plays a strategic role in supporting agricultural development. Indragiri Hilir Regency is one of the centers of oil palm production, characterized by its extensive oil palm plantations covering 109,381 hectares and a large population of oil palm farmers, amounting to 70,240 households. Indragiri Hilir is the regency with the largest area of wetland and peatland compared to other regencies/cities in Riau Province. According to Mustofa (2017), the development of oil palm agribusiness in Indragiri Hilir is focused on lowland and wetland areas. However, tidal peatland is considered unsuitable for oil palm cultivation due to its high pyrite content, which can cause the soil to become very acidic and hinder plant growth. The limited availability of suitable land for oil palm cultivation in Indragiri Hilir encourages farmers to utilize wetland or tidal peatland. The use of tidal peatland for oil palm plantations negatively affects production, productivity, and the income received by farmers if they do not apply efficient cultivation techniques and inputs according to existing recommendations.
The objectives of this study are to assess the application of independent oil palm cultivation techniques on tidal peatland, calculate the income of independent oil palm farmers on tidal peatland, and analyze the level of production efficiency of independent oil palm cultivation on tidal peatland in Indragiri Hilir Regency.
This research was conducted in two sub-districts of Indragiri Hilir Regency, namely Kempas and Tempuling. Each sub-district consists of two villages: Kelurahan Kempas Jaya and Desa Kulim Jaya in Kempas, as well as Desa Karya Tunas Jaya and Desa Teluk Kiambang in Tempuling. The study took place from June to July 2024. The sample for this research consisted of 40 independent oil palm farmers operating on tidal peatlands. The data obtained in this study were analyzed using quantitative methods. The analyses employed include: 1) GAP analysis of oil palm cultivation techniques, 2) analysis of independent oil palm farming on tidal peatlands, and 3) production efficiency analysis using stochastic frontier with the Cobb-Douglas production function, applying both Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) methods.
The results of the study indicate that farmers in the research area have not fully implemented oil palm cultivation techniques according to the principles of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). There remains a gap between the cultivation practices carried out by farmers and the recommended technical guidelines out of 11 cultivation activities, only 4 activities have been implemented as recommended land clearing, weed control, planting patterns, and harvesting, each with a compliance percentage of 100 percent. The average productivity of oil palm on tidal peatlands in Indragiri Hilir Regency reaches 10.055 kg/hectare/year. The average income received by oil palm farmers in the research area is IDR9,901,809/ha/year. Meanwhile, the average total production costs incurred by farmers amount to IDR9.530.672/ha/year, with an average total revenue of IDR19.432.482/ha/year. The use of production factors in oil palm farming on tidal peatlands in Indragiri Hilir Regency is limited to several variables, namely land area and nutrient elements P, K, Mg, Cu, Zn, B, and herbicide usage. Factors such as nitrogen (N) and labor were not accounted for due to correlations between the existing independent variables. All farmers engaged in oil palm farming on tidal peatlands in Indragiri Hilir Regency have achieved technical efficiency. However, they have not yet reached the levels of allocative and economic efficiency.
