Pricing of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) From Oil Palm in Riau Province, Indonesia: Developing A Collaborative Governance Model for Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

The Riau provincial government has formed an oil palm Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) pricing team to accelerate the implementation of prices and partnerships. However, most independent smallholders do not partner with palm oil mills, resulting in non-compliance with government regulations. The study aims to analyze the roles of actors and collaborative governance dynamics, as well as factors influencing success. The research method combines quantitative and qualitative data collection, with data collected through questionnaires, observations, and in-depth interviews. The collaborative model aims to support stakeholders, including NGOs, academics, and affected communities, with a focus on achieving fair prices and sustainable agriculture.
