DESCRIPTION
The development of oil palm cultivation followed very different paths across continents. Originating from Central Africa where palm oil was first collected from the wild in the forest, oil palm has since become a typical agro-industrial crop especially in South-East Asia and Latin America. More recently smallholders have increased their share in the production, while with some differences. Nowadays the problem that the oil palm sector faces is no longer related to either choose agro-industries or smallholders, but to find the best way to associate agro-industries and smallholders in mutually beneficial schemes. Examples from Indonesia, Cameroon and Colombia show the limits and opportunities of such associations.

Nucleus Estates and Smallholders (NES):
• 7 ha of land against 2 ha of oil palm, technical advice, land title and credit
• The credit covers planting costs, production costs and infrastructures
• A cooperative manages the smallholdings

Nucleus Estate & Smallholders scheme: Why does it work in Indonesia and not in Cameroon?
1968 : SOCAPALM : development company : 4 mills, 5 industrial plantations 1978 : FONADER : development bank : credit to develop smallholdings
– FONADER, provided a plantation credit to smallholders through SOCAPALM, CDC et PAMOL Ltd
– SOCAPALM, CDC & PAMOL ruled the smallholdings development project providing technical advice, inputs and planting material
– Smallholders had to sell all their production to SOCAPALM, and pay back the credit (interest rate of 9%)
– Planted area: around 70% of estates industrial plantation, 30% of contracted-smallholdings for out-growers
• Reasons of failure of the NES scheme: – No dependence of Cameroonian smallholders vis-à-vis companies (small scale mills and other
agro-industrial mills around looking for FFB supply)
– No reimbursement of the credits (bankruptcy of FONADER)
– Lack of trust in FONADER (high interest rate, long term credit, no transparency for credit reimbursement,…)

Productive Strategic Alliances
Oil palm is an inclusive business in Colombia:
• Strategic Alliances are a partnership between entrepreneurs (as operator), with smallholders associated farmers and facilitators •1 in 4 hectares planted with oil palm over the last decade involve production alliances
• 109 alliances established as of 2008 • 5,391 smallholders
18
Opportunities for Colombia Smallholdings are representing now 19% of total planted area in Colombia and
they are to stay a major actors of oil palm development:
• Alliance scheme of development allowed the recent development of smallholdings and now smallholders are about 5400 in Colombia.
=> Good experience from Indonesia and bad from Cameroon about plantation credit can be valorised in order to maintain the opportunity of credit for new smallholders.
• Colombia is one of the pioneers for implanting oil palm plantations on planted pasture and grassland
=> no deforestation, Carbon storage, but research is needed to get information about indirect changes of land uses.
=> ecological intensification should be a good way of research to improve the soil fertility in such situations. Exchange and partnership with other experiences on degraded land will be interesting.

Conclusion: Lessons learnt, risks and opportunities
• 3 options for FFB production:
– Large-scale plantations
– Out-growers contracts
– Smallholders’ independent plantations
• Sustainable oil palm development requires:
– Compliance to RSPO certification, Free, prior and informed consent
– Transparency on any negotiation of concession, and on management of credits
– Invest in increasing FFB productivity of smallholdings
– Favor FFB production by smallholders and CPO/KPO extraction by industries
– AI : skills, productivity, capacity of investment
