Environmental, Economic, and Social Consequences of the Oil
Rising global demand for vegetable oil during the last few decades has led to a drastic increase in the land area under oil palm. Especially in Southeast Asia, the oil palm boom has contributed to economic growth, but it has also spurred criticism about negative environmental and social effects. Here, we discuss palm oil production and consumption trends and review environmental, economic, and

The Influence of Adoption of Improved Oil Palm Production
level of adoption of improved oil palm production practices (Table 2). This means that age as a personal characteristic of oil palm farmers does not influence the rejection or adoption of improved oil palm production practices. It is likely that both the young and old farmers might have been exposed to the same information on oil palm production.
However the greatest constraint to adoption of improved oil palm technologies was lack of finance. This suggests the need for the provision of subsidies and financial support to farmers to enable them pay for the necessary farm inputs.

Does oil palm cultivation increase household living standards?
We show that oil palm cultivation increases household living standards, measured in terms of annual consumption expenditures, by 13% on average. Moreover, we demonstrate that oil palm cultivation tends to reduce households' economic risk, measured in terms of potential decreases in living standard due to income variability.
Does oil palm cultivation reduce economic risk?
However, our data showed the opposite, namely a decrease in downside economic risk through oil palm cultivation. The main reason is that oil palm adopters have more time for off-farm activities than rubber farmers, and off-farm income is an important household mechanism to cope with economic risk.
Does oil palm cultivation help smallholder farmers?
Oil palm cultivation has improved living standards and alleviated the poverty of many smallholder farmers. However, challenges such as climate change, aging palms and negative sentiments in the major markets, threaten the wellbeing of and raise the question on smallholder farmers¡¯ resilience, which remains poorly understood.
