Abstract: Oil palm is an important vegetable oil in various products
including food, non-food, and biodiesel. Increasing demand in palm oil has
provoked growers to augment their oil palm product through land expansion and
intensification. Land expansion is preferable due to less effort and low costs
however it is not recommended due to negative impacts caused by deforestation.
Therefore, intensification is suggested using best practices and good plant
material. Replanting is one of alternatives to improve oil palm production when
best practices are no longer effective due to bad plant material. Replanting
become a challenging issue for oil palm smallholders because of their limited
acces to information, inputs and fund. The aim of this study is to analyse
farmers’ perception on replanting program. A survey on farmers’ perception on
replanting was conducted using likert-scale method. The result show that the
farmers have positive thinking on replanting program. However, they still
uncertain when to implement the replanting program. Some farmers consider that
the existing production still an important source of household income.
